People often choose mid-range phones because they offer a fine balance of performance, features and price, delivering a smooth user experience without the high price tag of flagship devices. Infinix seems to have carved a niche for itself in this space; its handsets are decent performers with a good display, long battery life, and sometimes, impressive cameras. The Note Series has gone from strength to strength, even as other phone makers have upped their game at the mid-range price range in recent years. It offers handsets at various price points, catering to budget-conscious buyers who want a device that delivers performance without breaking the bank.
The Note 50x is the latest 5G phone that offers strong performance for everyday tasks. I have been checking out this handset for the past one week. What’s notable in the design is its gem-cut camera module. Moreover, its Active Halo Lighting enhances the user experience by glowing for notifications, calls and charging, while also acting as a countdown timer for photos. The phone comes in three colours: Sea Breeze Green (Vegan leather finish), Enchanted Purple and Titanium Grey (Metallic Finish). It is MIL-STD-810H certified (a US military standard) and IP64 rated, ensuring it withstands drops, dust, and water with ease.
Under the hood, we are looking at a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate processor; this phone delivers ultra-fast speeds, enhanced gaming, AI capabilities, and improved power efficiency. I played some graphics-intensive games and the playing sessions were smooth. Herein, Game Mode, part of the XOS 15 operating system, plays a crucial role. This feature is designed to optimise performance by offering features like 90fps lag-free gaming and customisable performance modes, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Moving further, the XOS 15 (Android 15) offers a whole bunch of customisation options for icons and wallpapers, and comes with useful features like Dynamic Bar and Smart Panel. Some of the AI-powered features include On-Screen Awareness, AIGC Portraits, AI Note, Writing Assistant and Folax (voice assistant), making the Note 50x smarter. On the camera front, there is a 50MP dual rear setup with dual LED flash so that your photos are always clean and bright. There are over 12 photography modes available, plus AI features like AI Eraser, ensuring that your photography game is on point.
The Note 50x has a large 6.67 inches HD+ vibrant punch-hole display with 120Hz refresh rate. For a user, this means sharp visuals and smooth scrolling. So, whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or browsing, you can enjoy a vivid and immersive viewing experience even in bright sunlight. Dual speakers with DTS audio processing elevate your experience to the next level. Also, its massive 5500mAh battery with a 45W in-box fast charger will keep you powered all day.
