The Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s thinnest smartphone at just 5.8mm. Because it’s so slim, the South Korean company had issues packing a bigger battery inside the phone. Truth be told, Samsung could have included a bigger battery with the Galaxy S25 Edge if it went for a silicon-carbon battery instead of its traditional lithium-ion battery.

However, Infinix, a Chinese company that makes phones for dozens of markets in Asia, Middle East and Africa, proves that it’s possible to fit a bigger battery in a very slim body.

Infinix’s next smartphone, the Hot 60 Pro+, will have a 5,160 mAh battery, GSMArena reports. What makes the phone stand out is the fact that it’s only 5.95mm thick and weighs just 154.6g.

In comparison, the Galaxy S25 Edge is 5.8mm thick and weighs 163.8g, so while Samsung’s flagship is thinner, it’s also slightly heavier than Infinix’s smartphone probably because of the premium materials it uses (and the lithium-ion battery?).

It’s also worth noting that Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s 3,900 mAh battery supports 25W wired charging speeds, while Infinix Hot 60 Pro+’s 5,160 mAh battery supports 33W wired charging speeds.

Even though Infinix’s Hot 60 Pro+ is almost just as slim as the Galaxy S25 Edge and slightly lighter, it’s no match for Samsung’s flagship when it comes to hardware. But that’s alright, not all phones must have top-tier specs.

For starters, Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G200 Ultimate chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. This is a rather new chipset that’s to be used in mid-range phones.

We don’t know the size of the phone’s display yet, but we do know it features a curved panel with 2400 x 1080 pixels resolution. As far as the camera goes, Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ has at least one 50-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel selfie snapper.

Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ is a good example of a company willing to adopt new technologies in order to make its products stand out. Samsung has yet to use silicon-carbon batteries in its flagships, but that might change next year when the Galaxy S26 is expected to be released.
