Thanks to powerful partnerships with industry leaders, NOTE 60 Ultra represents Infinix’s boldest entry in the flagship tier.

Infinix is cementing its status within the premium smartphone segment in a bold new way with NOTE 60 Ultra, its landmark flagship which debuted in Barcelona during Mobile World Congress 2026.

Co-developed with Italian automotive and design legend Pininfarina, NOTE 60 Ultra’s design is driven by an emotion-led aesthetic inspired by super cars. Bta9eneath its bold design lies a fully realized flagship experience, integrating breakthrough in-house innovations with best-in-class partner technologies. A professional-grade 200MP ultra-high-definition imaging system, built-in multi-country satellite communication connectivity, and immersive audio precision-tuned by SOUND BY JBL come together to challenge expectations in the premium segment.

Supercar Design DNA in a Flagship, Shaped by Pininfarina

In the premium segment, the design language is a device’s opening statement. A user’s perception at first glance is shaped by aesthetics, long before a single specification is considered.

Drawing inspiration from the aerodynamic philosophy and pioneering spirit of high-performance sports cars, Infinix, in partnership with Pininfarina, takes a radical departure in sculpting a flagship. What stands out immediately is what’s missing: the camera bump. As premium handsets adopt larger sensors, they often sacrifice form with increasingly protruding camera modules.

True to the sports car heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra introduces a fully integrated, single-body rear: the Aluminum Unibody Design. At the heart of this craftsmanship is the World’s 1st Uni-Chassis Cam Module, formed a single, continuous sheet of CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS VICTUS that virtually conceals the presence of the camera. Much like a supercar sculpted for low-drag, the rear design maintains a smooth, uninterrupted silhouette. This also ensures a natural in-hand feel and unobtrusively slips into any pocket, while reinforcing the phone’s durability and structural integrity.

Paying homage to Italian cultural and racing heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra arrives in four striking colorways: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver. Each hue draws inspiration from the most iconic scenes and legends of Italy’s motorsport and cultural history, capturing the spirit of speed, lifestyle, and emotional beauty.

Just as a supercar announces its ignition through sound and light, NOTE 60 Ultra mirrors the ritual. A Floating Taillight signature spans the rear, illuminating as the device powers on. And as a final nod to automotive heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra features an Active Matrix Display reminiscent of a supercar dashboard at startup. Concealed within the rear surface, the hidden display lights up to reveal notifications, expressive icons, or a pixel-style virtual companion.

Dual Flagship Cameras for Detail, Zoom, and True-to-Life Imaging
Although discreet at first glance, Infinix makes no concessions on camera performance and earmarks a new era for Infinix’s imaging capability. Delivering performance on par with industry-leading standards, Infinix’s Dual Flagship Imaging Architecture marks several brand-first breakthroughs and improvements across three dimensions, reinforcing its position as a signature offering.

Under the hood, it’s clear that NOTE 60 Ultra refuses to settle for less. Discreetly integrated within the Uni-Chassis Cam Module is a powerful triple-camera array. Anchored by a next-generation 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor, NOTE 60 Ultra delivers ultra-high-definition clarity. And ensuring flagship-grade versatility across focal lengths, the phone is complemented by a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 periscope telephoto lens and a 112° ultra-wide lens.

However, hardware alone does not define the full experience. For the first time, Infinix supports the XDR display standard with Ultra HDR Capture. Powered by a proprietary XDR Image Engine, Infinix’s advanced system delivers a superior dynamic range, ideal for true-to-life photos of bright lights at night or breathtaking sunset scenes.

The result is exceptional resolution that sets a higher bar for precise framing in daylight or after dark, while faithfully preserving details often lost in standard photography. Whether exploring daytime cityscapes or distant horizons, NOTE 60 Ultra excels with its advanced optical‑to‑digital zoom performance. Crisp, detailed shots are captured across a versatile zoom range, from a 2× optical crop and native 3.5× optical zoom to a 7× lossless digital zoom, extending up to 100× for extreme distances.

Expansive Satellite Calling and Messaging Coverage

Beyond what meets the eye, NOTE 60 Ultra carries a more subtle capability designed to accompany the user’s ambition, as far as and wherever the road leads. NOTE 60 Ultra is the first¹ to introduce dual-way satellite calling with expansive global coverage across a far greater number of countries¹. Powered by two-way messaging and calling beyond traditional terrestrial networks, NOTE 60 Ultra offers an added peace of mind whether navigating remote terrain beyond cellular coverage or facing large-scale network disruptions. The device bridges regional connectivity gaps to maintain communication and enables emergency location sharing when it matters most.

Ultra-Fast, Enduring Functionalities for an All-Around Flagship Experience
NOTE 60 Ultra combines category-leading performance and enduring power to support multi-sensory entertainment without interruption. Complementing this, its latest user experience delivers forward-looking innovations and AI-driven optimizations, making it more accessible and seamless for everyday use.

Impressively, Infinix debuted the Proprietary Battery Self-Healing Technology. Despite featuring a massive 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery within a slim, lightweight frame, NOTE 60 Ultra is engineered to restore up to 1%² of battery health every 200 charge cycles. Complementing this breakthrough, NOTE 60 Ultra supports wired 100W All-Around Fast Charge and 50W wireless charging, achieving a full charge from 1% to 100%² in only 48 minutes through a wired connection.

Even with a massive battery, Infinix pulls out all the stops to optimize for both speed and energy management. Featuring a 4nm all-big-core MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset together with Infinix’s self-developed performance engine, NOTE 60 Ultra achieves up to 25%² faster multitasking, accelerated app responsiveness, and sustained smoothness.

NOTE 60 Ultra excels in its class with a captivating, 1.5K Ultra HDR cinematic display. Delivering fluid 144Hz responsiveness and exceptional 4500-nit peak brightness, visuals remain vibrant across most lighting conditions. Even in motion, intelligent predictive stabilization minimizes motion sickness, whether watching a film or playing games from within a car. And just as a high-performance vehicle demands calibrated acoustics, NOTE 60 Ultra doesn’t settle for less. It delivers high-fidelity audio through a stereo system with SOUND BY JBL, completing a truly compelling entertainment experience.

The NOTE 60 Ultra’s optimized performance enables its intelligent AI features to run fluidly and efficiently with minimal battery drain. Its integrated AI ecosystem focuses on practical daily-enhancing functions, including real-time vitals tracking via Advanced Health Monitor, personalized file organization and an adaptive AI-powered knowledge base, all evolving with user preferences. These AI capabilities are seamlessly woven into GlowSpace, a new interface debuting on XOS 16.³ Powered by Android 16, GlowSpace introduces a fully reimagined UI centered on fluid motion and luminous details that animate with every interaction.

Through co-engineering with leading technology and innovation partners, Infinix has aligned NOTE 60 Ultra around a unified vision of excellence. The outcome is a benchmark-setting flagship defined not by spectacle, but by deeply integrated and purposeful engineering, inside-out.

Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra Ushers in New Premium Era

The Lagos State Government has denied allegations that it is protecting suspects linked to the killing of six traders at Owode Onirin, stating that its decision not to prosecute was based solely on insufficient evidence.

In a detailed response issued on Friday, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro, SAN, faulted a publication titled “Is Lagos State Shielding Killers?”, which criticised the government’s handling of the August 27, 2025 incident involving Inspector Manu Bala and four other police officers.

Pedro described the report as “false, misleading and unsupported by facts,” insisting that no prima facie case was established against the suspects based on materials submitted by the Lagos State Police Command.

He explained that the police, in line with Section 74 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State, forwarded the case file to the Ministry of Justice for legal advice after preliminary investigations.

However, upon reviewing witness statements, suspect accounts and other documentary evidence, the ministry found no direct connection between the suspects and the deaths of the six traders.

“For instance, there was no eyewitness account in the case file confirming that the policemen shot the deceased, despite the incident allegedly occurring in a busy market,” the rejoinder stated.

Instead, Pedro said available evidence indicated that traders allegedly attacked the police team at a disputed land site, during which one Inspector Jibrin was dispossessed of his service rifle, reportedly used by a trader to fire shots.

“The police inspector was assaulted and had to be rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital,” he added, noting that the only civilian suspect arrested was confirmed by investigators not to have been present at the scene.

Given the seriousness of the matter, the Attorney-General said the ministry initially withheld a “no case to answer” advice and instead directed the police to conduct further investigations.

He disclosed that on October 30, 2025, the ministry requested key evidence, including post-mortem reports, ballistic analysis of recovered bullets and examination reports of the firearms issued to the officers involved.

According to him, the police failed to provide the requested materials within 45 days, prompting a follow-up reminder on December 17, 2025, while the suspects remained in custody and their bail applications were denied.

“It was only after about six months of incarceration and no response from the police that the ministry issued its legal advice on March 3, 2026, concluding that no prima facie case had been disclosed against the suspects,” Pedro said.

He noted that the advice recommended the withdrawal of charges of conspiracy and involuntary manslaughter under Sections 411 and 224 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State due to lack of evidence.

Pedro, however, emphasised that the case remains open, stating that prosecution could still proceed if new evidence emerges.

“In the event that any new evidence emerges linking any suspect to the crime, the ministry will not hesitate to prosecute, as there is no time bar for criminal prosecution,” he said.

He further revealed that the police later submitted provisional post-mortem and ballistic reports after the legal advice had been issued, adding that the documents are currently under review for possible further action.

Defending the ministry’s position, Pedro maintained that declining to prosecute in the absence of sufficient evidence was a constitutional responsibility, not an attempt to shield suspects.

“The decision not to prosecute where evidence is insufficient is not an act of protection—it is an ethical and constitutional obligation to prevent wrongful prosecution,” he stated.

“Justice is not a one-way traffic, but three-way traffic. It must serve the victim, the suspect and society at large,” he added.

The Attorney-General also questioned what he described as misleading narratives, warning that prosecutions based on speculation or emotion could undermine the justice system.

He reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, protecting lives and ensuring that prosecutions are guided strictly by evidence and fairness.

The Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC, has disbursed over N5 billion to communities across Nigeria as part of renewed efforts to improve basic education and reduce the number of out-of-school children.

The development was disclosed during the national flag-off of the 2025 School-Based Management Committee School Improvement Programme SBMC-SIP held in Abuja.

Speaking at the event, UBEC Executive Secretary Aisha Garba, said the intervention reflects a broader strategy to strengthen school systems and ensure children remain in classrooms.

“This represents a renewed national commitment to strengthening community participation in school governance and improving learning environments across the country,” she said.

Garba disclosed that N5.18 billion has been earmarked for the programme, targeting 518 communities nationwide, with each state and the Federal Capital Territory benefiting from selected schools.

Represented by the Deputy Executive Secretary Technical, Rasaq Olajuwon Akinyemi, she explained that the funds would focus on rehabilitating damaged school structures, providing classroom furniture and improving water, sanitation and hygiene facilities.

She stressed that beyond enrolment, retention remains a major concern in the education sector.

“Access to education is important, but retention is what ensures that its promise is fulfilled. We must address the realities that force children out of school,” she added.

The UBEC boss noted that the programme also includes the completion of ongoing projects from previous cycles, alongside the release of additional funds to support their execution.

According to her, earlier phases of the initiative have supported over 1,100 schools and led to thousands of interventions across communities.

She added that the commission expects the programme to help return a significant number of children to school.

Also speaking, the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, described the initiative as critical to ongoing reforms in the sector.

“These initiatives reaffirm the government’s commitment to ensuring that every school-age child is enrolled, retained, and able to complete basic education,” he said.

Represented by the Director of Basic Education Folake Olatunji-David, the minister said the programme aligns with national education policies and efforts to expand access to learning.

He also urged stakeholders, including state education boards and community leaders, to ensure accountability in the use of funds.

Participants at the event emphasised the need for sustained collaboration to ensure that education interventions translate into measurable improvements in schools across the country.

UBEC launches fresh push to tackle out-of-school crisis

Telecommunications operators in Nigeria have collectively exceeded $1bn in capital investment and are set to upgrade 12,000 network sites in 2026 as part of efforts to improve service quality and expand coverage, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said.

The Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Aminu Maida, disclosed this during a media briefing in Lagos, noting that the scale of planned upgrades marks a significant acceleration compared to previous years.

According to him, telecom operators carried out just over 300 site upgrades in 2025, but have committed to 12,000 upgrades in 2026, reflecting a sharp increase in infrastructure investment and network expansion.

“So far, 2,800 of those have been done, including about 63 new sites,” Maida said, adding that the industry is already outperforming last year’s total deployment figures.

The upgrades are expected to enhance both coverage and capacity, with operators deploying additional spectrum on existing 4G sites and converting legacy 2G and 3G infrastructure to more advanced 4G and 5G technologies. The move is aimed at addressing persistent service quality concerns and meeting rising data demand across the country.

Maida said the sustained capital injection by operators is critical to funding the expansion, revealing that at least one telecom company has already surpassed $1 billion in investment this year alone.

“We reported last year that we were over a billion. This year, one of them is already doing over a billion,” he said, underscoring the growing financial commitment within the sector.

Beyond physical infrastructure, the NCC has also taken steps to improve network performance through enhanced spectrum management. Maida explained that the commission facilitated several spectrum trades to enable operators to expand capacity and optimise network efficiency.

He described spectrum as the “highway” for telecom traffic, noting that wider and more efficient spectrum allocation translates directly into improved service delivery.

Under its secondary market framework, the NCC made available 100MHz of previously underutilised spectrum, which had been held by operators such as NATCOM and T2 (mobile), redistributing it among the country’s leading mobile network providers. In addition, the commission released a significant portion of its own 50MHz spectrum holdings to further support the industry.

“This was what enabled some of the site upgrades that I was referring to, so that the operators can have wider highways and better quality highways,” Maida said.

He added that lower frequency bands are particularly important for extending coverage to underserved and rural communities due to their wider propagation range.

On consumer protection, the NCC boss announced that the commission’s directive on compensation for subscribers affected by poor service would take immediate effect. The policy is designed to ensure that customers receive some form of redress when service quality falls below acceptable standards.

“The philosophy here was that it lets the people who are suffering get something back,” he said.

Industry analysts say the combination of increased capital expenditure, accelerated infrastructure rollout, and improved spectrum allocation could significantly enhance network performance if sustained. However, they note that consistent execution and regulatory oversight will be critical to ensuring that the planned upgrades translate into tangible improvements in user experience.

The NCC maintained that while progress is already evident, subscribers may need to exercise patience as ongoing investments take time to fully impact network quality nationwide.

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its strong commitment to the actualisation of the 1028km Lagos–Abidjan Corridor, a major regional highway expected to transform trade and connectivity across West Africa.

The Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, gave the assurance on Thursday during a high-level meeting with delegations from the ECOWAS Commission and the African Development Bank.

According to a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the minister on Media, Francis Nwaze, the team visited the minister in his capacity as Chairman of the Steering Committee for the project and the country’s representative at the ministerial level.

The project connects Côte d’Ivoire from Abidjan, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria from Lagos.

Speaking at the meeting, Umahi conveyed the backing of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stressing that infrastructure development remains central to the administration’s agenda.

He explained that the Lagos–Abidjan corridor, spanning about 1,028 kilometres, is being developed to match the scale and ambition of Nigeria’s ongoing Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway. According to him, the project will feature reinforced concrete pavement, three lanes on each carriageway, and modern road design standards aimed at long-term durability.

He emphasised that the Lagos–Abidjan project is not isolated but part of a broader network of interconnected highways, including the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway and several legacy routes cutting across all six geopolitical zones.

On the Lagos–Abidjan corridor itself, the minister explained that there are unresolved issues.

He raised concerns about the design and the unequal distribution of the corridor length among participating countries.

He disclosed that Nigeria’s section of the corridor is approximately 79.5 kilometres but will be executed to a higher standard than originally proposed.

Umahi added that Nigeria is currently developing its own design framework, expected to be completed within two weeks, taking into account existing infrastructure and real-world conditions along the route.

He stressed that decisions on funding models must be taken at the highest political level before the project can proceed to procurement and full financing.

Earlier, the ECOWAS Director of Transport, Chris Appiah, explained that the mission was part of ongoing consultations with member states.

He noted that similar consultations had been held with Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo, while engagement with Benin is scheduled to follow its recent elections.

On financing, the African Development Bank delegation, led by Salawou Mike Moukaila, described the project as a top priority for the bank.

He explained that the bank is currently undertaking an “identification mission” across 25 countries to design a financing framework and kick-start an initial phase of the project.

Chelsea legend, John Terry, has admitted that the Premier League west London club could sell their best players when the summer transfer window starts.

The 45-year-old former England defender also admitted that his old club could fail to qualify for next season’s European football competitions.

Terry spoke in a TikTok clip after Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior earlier this week.

He, however, questioned whether an elite football manager would like to coach Chelsea considering their current situation.

“Is a real top manager going to come to Chelsea FC at the moment in the position we’re in? We cannot buy players, looking like we’re going to have to sell potentially our best players, which is always tough,” Terry stated.

“We will not be playing in European football, I hope I’m wrong.”

Former senator representing Taraba South Senatorial District, Emmanuel Bwacha, has expressed concern over worsening living conditions in Taraba State, saying the level of hardship among residents has significantly increased.

Bwacha who made the pronoucement in Jalingo, Taraba state on Thursday while declaring his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election in Taraba state on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party ,PDP, said remaining silent in such circumstances would no doubt amount to complicity.

He noted that the growing economic challenges facing the people have deepened suffering across communities, calling attention to what he described as a troubling situation.

“Hardship has deepened, and the suffering of our people has increased. Remaining silent in such circumstances would amount to complicity,” Bwacha said.

The former lawmaker’s remarks come amid ongoing concerns about economic conditions and governance in the state, with stakeholders continuing to call for measures to address the challenges affecting residents.

Pledging to restore transparency, accountability, and development in the state, he noted that his earlier reluctance to run again was based on the hope that governance would improve, but argued that conditions in the state have worsened.

The former lawmaker also painted a grim picture of the state’s current situation, alleging a breakdown in governance marked by lack of transparency, fiscal irresponsibility, and disregard for the rule of law.

He also expressed concern over the state’s rising debt profile, which he claimed had surged from about N237 billion in 2023 to over N1 trillion.

Bwacha referenced the administration of late former governor, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai as a period when the state was on a path of progress, arguing that subsequent political instability contributed to its decline.

He further criticized what he described as failing infrastructure, an underfunded education sector, growing insecurity, and declining agricultural productivity, insisting that, “this is not the Taraba we deserve.”

Calling for unity, he urged Tarabans to reject divisive politics along ethnic and religious lines and work collectively toward shared goals.

“Our future must not be shaped by division, but by shared responsibility,” he said, echoing the words of former U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln that, “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Bwacha described his candidacy ad political and moral responsibility, calling on citizens to join him in rebuilding trust, restoring dignity, and creating a more prosperous future for the state.

It would be recalled that the former senator had contested in the 2023 governorship election, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, (APC).

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nasarawa State University chapter, Keffi (NSUK) branch, has warned the Nasarawa State Government that continued neglect of pressing staff welfare issues could lead to industrial action.

Addressing journalists on Thursday, the branch chairperson, Abdulmumini Loko, said the briefing was necessary to draw attention to long-standing concerns that remain unresolved despite multiple engagements with the authorities.

He cautioned that the situation may escalate if urgent steps are not taken to address the union’s demands, particularly the payment of outstanding entitlements.

“Industrial harmony cannot be assured if the Nasarawa State Government fails to urgently clear all outstanding arrears and respond to our demands,” Loko said.

Among the demands listed by the union are the immediate implementation of a 40 per cent salary increase earlier agreed with the Federal Government, improved funding for the university, and the payment of professorial allowances.

The union also called for the settlement of arrears of Earned Academic Allowance, outstanding salary increments of 25 per cent and 35 per cent, as well as arrears linked to the N70,000 minimum wage and the N35,000 wage award.

In addition, ASUU urged the state government to domesticate the contributory pension scheme and ensure timely remittance of its counterpart funding, enforce the approved retirement age for professors, constitute visitation panels regularly, and guarantee that retired professors receive their full salaries as pensions.

Loko warned that failure to address these issues could negatively impact the university system, citing risks such as declining educational standards, increased brain drain, disruption of academic activities, and deteriorating staff welfare.

Reaffirming the union’s preference for dialogue, he, however, noted that members were growing increasingly impatient.

“While we remain open to dialogue and constructive engagement, our members’ patience is not limitless,” he said.

He added that continued inaction by the government could leave the union with no choice but to pursue lawful measures to defend the interests of its members and protect the integrity of the university system.
