Infinix Hot 60i 5G with 6,000mAh battery, MediaTek SoC to launch in India soon: Expect price, specs and more
Infinix has confirmed that the Hot 60i 5G will be available to buy from Flipkart and its own website, similar to other Infinix devices sold in the Indian market. The phone is all set to come in four colour variants: Shadow Blue, Monsoon Green, Sleek Black, and Plum Red.
As for the design, Infinix seems to have beaten Apple to the punch with the introduction of a pill-shaped horizontal camera module that is rumoured to debut with the iPhone 17 Air. The camera module, along with the use of solid colours by the brand, gives a clean look to the back, followed by Infinix branding at the bottom.
While Infinix has not shared a confirmed launch date yet, the budget model is hinted to arrive later this month.
Infinix has confirmed that the Hot 60i will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor in India, which also powers the likes of the realme P3x and Lava Storm Lite. The phone will come with a massive 6,000mAh battery, which the company claims is the biggest in its segment.
It will also feature an IP64 rating for water and dust resistance, meaning it can handle splashes and light rainfall but not full submersion.
The Hot 60i will have a dual-camera setup on the back, with the primary shooter carrying a 50MP lens and support for LED flash, HDR, and panorama modes.
The phone is expected to run on Infinix's XOS 15 based on Android 15. Infinix has also promised a suite of AI features seen in many of its past smartphones, including AI Eraser, AI Extender, AI Call Translation, and Circle to Search.
While there is no clarity on pricing yet, the Hot 60i should start around the ₹ 10,000 mark, as anything higher could conflict with the company's own Infinix Note 50x (Review).

YouTube's new AI age verification system: What to do if you are wrongly flagged as a minor
YouTube is all set to roll out an all-new artificial intelligence-based age verification system in the United States on Wednesday, August 13. The innovative system will utilize AI to identify individuals who are below the age of 18. This would be done based on the kinds of videos that these users have been watching on the video-sharing platform, The Associated Press reported. YouTube's new AI-powered age verification system will come into effect in the US on August 13.(Unsplash) The key idea behind this concept is to protect the young audiences and restrict them from getting exposed to content, which could be inappropriate for them. What to expect from YouTube's AI-powered age verification system? Initially, the tests will be conducted on a small amount of YouTube's audience in the US. It will eventually become more pervasive when the concept starts working at par with how it performs in other cities around the world. The new system will only remain effective when the viewers are logged into their accounts on YouTube. It will assess viewers' age regardless of their date of birth, which people enter at the time of sign up. Once a logged-in user is flagged as under the age of 18 by the new AI-powered system, in such cases YouTube will automatically enforce its controls and restrictions that the platform has been using since a long time to prevent minors from watching things deemed inappropriate for their age.

The Google-owned platform does not showcase advertisements to individual tastes when the person is under the age of 18. What if YouTube inaccurately identifies a person as minor? In cases where the viewers might have been incorrectly called out as a minor, the user can still get this mistake rectified. For this, people will be required to show their government-approved IDs, a credit card or a selfie, according to The Associated Press. In a July 29 blog post, YouTube's director of product management, James Beser, said it was one of the first platforms that offers "experiences designed specifically for young people, and we're proud to again be at the forefront of introducing technology that allows us to deliver safety protections while preserving teen privacy'. Also Read: Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak calls out YouTube over rampant scam videos While people can continue watching videos on YouTube without logging into their accounts, this will automatically block some content, since there is no age proof. FAQs When does YouTube's AI-powered age verification system come into effect? It will get underway on Wednesday, August 13. Who all will be affected by it? Initially, this is being targeted upon a sliver of YouTube's audience in the US. What to do if YouTube incorrectly identifies me as under 18? You can rectify the error by showing your government-approved IDs to YouTube.

IIT Hyderabad Launches AI-powered Driverless Buses On Its Campus
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad has launched AI-powered driverless buses on its campus. Developed by the Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation (TiHAN), the autonomous shuttles are being touted as not just a campus convenience but also a significant leap forward for smart mobility in India. The TiHAN team, led by Professor P Rajalakshmi, has successfully developed and deployed these self-driving vehicles, which have already transported over 10,000 passengers with a reported satisfaction rate of 90 per cent. The shuttles, available in six-seater and fourteen-seater electric variants, mark a major milestone in sustainable and efficient transportation. Equipped with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the buses can dynamically navigate their surroundings, detect obstacles, and maintain safe distances from other vehicles and pedestrians. The technology has been validated at Technology Readiness Level 9 (TRL-9), signifying successful deployment and proven functionality in real-world conditions. Beyond the IIT Hyderabad campus, TiHAN's work is expected to have a broader impact on India's mobility sector. The hub has established India's first autonomous navigation testbed - a crucial facility for testing and validating autonomous technologies under Indian driving conditions before public deployment. This testbed will serve as a centre for industry collaboration, offering advanced infrastructure and data to support companies and researchers in developing autonomous solutions. In addition, TiHAN is nurturing the next generation of innovators through specialised programmes in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, aimed at building India's talent pool in these emerging technologies.
