Infinix Note 40X 5G : It has taken Infinix far from being just a budget brand to fight it out against the bigger names by providing top-end specs at cutthroat prices.
The new Infinix Note 40X 5G is just that. Featuring a nice design, a flagship-class 108MP main camera and 5G, it offers a whole lot of value, especially for customers looking for that high-end look and feel without the high-end price.
Let’s dive in on what makes the Note 40X 5G one of the most buzzed-about phones in its class — and what works (and what doesn’t).
First Impressions
It LOOKS Like a Flagship Sorry if these aren’t what you were expecting, but I HAVE TO give you my first impressions on the Ones we’ve tested thus far.
If you see the Infinix Note 40X 5G, you might not even believe that the phone is a mid range device.
That speaks to that cool, polished design vibe on the whole — from its svelte profile to its polished metal frame and gloss glass-like back finish that offers up a rich in-hand feel. The phone comes in vibrant colors such as Titanium Black, Obsidian Green and Sunshine Gold.
The rhythm bear camera looks big, albeit slightly audacious, giving one the feeling of a sci-fi design. If you’re into showing off what your phone can do, the 40X should suit you.
Camera
108 Megapixels of Detail The Note 20’s 108-megapixel main camera can record a lot more detail than last year’s Galaxy Note 10.
Now let’s get to that one showstopping 108MP camera here. It’s not something you regularly see in smartphones under $300, but here’s Infinix making it happen.
The main sensor churns out photos with tons of detail, superb color accuracy and a pretty wide dynamic range.
Images taken on good lighting are sharp enough to zoom into without losing their quality. Even portrait mode is impressive – edge detection is decent, and the background blur looks fairly natural as well.
The camera app has lots of other features and modes like Super Night, Pro Mode, and AI Beauty, which should be fun to use for most casual users and mobile photographers.
The selfie camera is a 32MP shooter, and it does a good job for details of your face, especially during the day.
Display & Multimedia
Big, Bright & Smooth This device has a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate – so everything feels smooth.
Whether you watch YouTube, play games or just scroll through Facebook, the experience is just way more immersive – color saturation and pop, blacks are true and whites are bright enough even under harsh daylight.
It also has stereo speakers with DTS sound – so binge-watching and listening to music is true bliss.
It is something I did not expect in this price range, but it certainly gives you a premium experience.
Performance & Battery
Inside the Note 40X 5G, there is MediaTek Dimensity 7020 – 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Everything runs smoothly – daily tasks, multitasking and even some casual gaming.
With PUBG and COD, the phone temperature increases significantly, but nothing to worry about.
Connectivity & Extras
As the name implies, it is a 5G phone, compatible with a number of bands to keep up with the future.
It also comes with IP53 splash resistant rating, AI voice assistant, in-display fingerprint scanner, NFC support as well as a 360-degree ambient light sensor. All of this contributes to polish that were lacking on already feature-rich phone.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
108MP primary camera – Unbelievable level of detail and clarity at this price
High-end design – Feels and looks truly high-end
120Hz AMOLED display – Vibrant colors and smooth experience
Good performance for Dimensity 7020 – Manages good daily work fine

Cons:

Plastic body although looks rich
Infinix Note 40X 5G Verdict: Flagship Like Feel Without The Flagship Price
The Infinix Hot 40R 5G is a smartphone that’s all about making a statement – be that on looks or on features.
And whether it’s the world-leading 108MP camera, the immersive AMOLED screen, the swift performance or the rapid charging — or, indeed, any combination of these features —, it’s packing an awful lot more into its price than you’re expecting.
Yes, there are some trade-offs — no optical image stabilization, a bit of bloatware — but those are minor in the context of what you’re getting overall.
For those in search of a well-designed, camera-centric 5G smartphone that won’t break the bank, the Note 40X 5G is definitely worth a serious look.
