At CES 2026 this week, Infinix unveiled the Note 60 series as the first smartphones to support global satellite calling. White satellite calling is no longer a new feature on smartphones; it’s this unique approach from Infinix that turns satellite connectivity beyond an “emergency-only” feature.

According to Infinix, global satellite calling on the Note 60 series is built as an always-on emergency connection rather than a novelty add-on. A report from Android Headlines says the feature covers nearly two-thirds of the Earth’s surface and works without any extra registration from the user. This essentially means you can use this feature almost anywhere in the world. 

The transmission speeds are limited to just 4Kbps, but Infinix claims the system is optimized for HD voice calls and two-way SMS. Infinix says the phone can automatically switch between satellite and roaming networks, which should allow it to maintain connectivity even in areas with no traditional mobile signal.

Gaming and accessories

Alongside satellite calling, Infinix introduced what it calls the HydroFlow liquid cooling system. The Note 60 is the first phone to use the company’s new cooling architecture, which pushes coolant at a rate of 6.5ml per minute using dual piezoelectric ceramic pumps. 

The setup is paired with a new vibrating piezoelectric fan that doesn’t rely on traditional rotating blades. Instead, the fan uses ultra-thin vibrating blades that are just 0.1mm thick and pulse 25,000 times per second. Infinix claims this solid-state design controls heat far more efficiently than conventional fans, especially during extended gaming sessions or demanding AI workloads.

The company is also tapping into the gaming accessories market with what it says is the industry’s first split controller. It has a pressure-sensitive touchpad designed for ultra-low latency. There’s also a wireless magnetic trigger featuring mouse-grade microswitches.

Design and modules

As for the design, the Note 60 series back panel uses smart materials like photochromic leather and thermochromic ink, which can change color, display 3D effects, or show flowing animations based on light and temperature. It’s more visual flair than a functional upgrade, but it is cool nonetheless. 

The company also introduced its AI Module Universe, a modular ecosystem of magnetic accessories. These include a conferencing module for instant translation, a VlogCam module with AI-based subject tracking, and add-ons like a professional microphone module and an expandable battery pack called StackPower. The idea is to let users adapt the phone for specific tasks rather than relying on one fixed setup.

Infinix hasn’t shared pricing or an official release date yet for the Note 60 series, including the Note 60 Ultra.
