Infinix and Pininfarina unveil Note 60 Ultra smartphone with supercar design cues

architecture-design · 2026-04-24

Smartphone brand Infinix partnered with Italian design house Pininfarina—known for Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo—to create the Note 60 Ultra, a device that applies supercar design principles to reduce visual fragmentation. The phone's camera system is housed in a single integrated "Uni-Chassis" module covered by high-strength glass, eliminating dividing lines. A rear "Floating Taillight" strip simulates hypercar ignition, while a hidden "Active Matrix" LED interface can display a pixelated pet or mini games. Matteo Fioravanti, senior vice president of design at Pininfarina Shanghai, described the goal as making the phone "a continuous living entity" rather than a box of components. The collaboration marks Pininfarina's first smartphone project in its 95-year history. The Note 60 Ultra includes a 200MP camera, satellite communication, and audio by JBL, positioning Infinix in the premium segment.
