The Infinix Note series has consistently delivered value-packed smartphones. Released in April 2025, the 50 Pro Plus, the latest addition to the Infinix Note Series, aims to take things up a notch. Let's check out the standout features, pros, cons, and pricing of the Infinix Note 50 Pro+ in Bangladesh. Key Features of Infinix Note 50 Pro+ . Design and Build Quality The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus marks a significant step up in smartphone design, effortlessly combining style with durability. It features a premium build with a glass front and back framed by aerospace-grade aluminium, delivering both sturdiness and a luxurious feel.  Its dimensions are 163.4 x 74.5 x 8 mm, weighing about 209g. The slim profile, gentle curves, and RGB notification light on the back lend it a futuristic and standout appeal. Rated IP64, it is fully dust-tight and protected against water splashes—making it ideal for everyday environments.  Read more: vivo iQoo Neo 10R Review: What’s new? In comparison, the Infinix Note 40 Pro+ opts for a lighter build with a plastic frame and eco-leather back, lacking the same premium touch. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro offers a strong build with bulkier options, while Vivo S19 Pro excels in water resistance with IP68/IP69K. The Sony Xperia 10 VI is lighter (164g), compact, and water-resistant but feels less robust due to its plastic frame.  Overall, the Note 50 Pro Plus strikes an excellent balance between design, durability, and modern aesthetics.  Display Quality  Infinix did not hold back on display technology with the Note 50 Pro Plus, offering a top-tier visual experience that punches well above its price point. It features a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with support for 1 billion colours, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and 1300 nits peak brightness.  Whether you are scrolling through social media, binge-watching Netflix, or gaming, the experience is fluid and visually rich. Its 1080 by 2436 pixel resolution with about 393 ppi density ensures text and images remain crisp, and the always-on display is a functional and stylish bonus.  Read more: itel Power 70 Review: Another budget-friendly gem In contrast, the Note 40 Pro+ offers the same size, resolution, and brightness but is limited to a 120Hz refresh rate, resulting in slightly less fluidity. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro (LTPO AMOLED) and Vivo S19 Pro (LTPO) lead the pack with panels and an incredible 4500 nits brightness, ideal for direct sunlight use and richer contrast.  However, the Sony Xperia 10 VI falls short with its compact 6.1-inch OLED and just 60Hz refresh, making it less ideal for immersive media consumption. Despite strong competition, the Note 50 Pro Plus stands out with its vibrant, fluid, and highly responsive display, offering outstanding value for its price.  Camera Performance  The camera setup on the Infinix Note 50 Pro+ is remarkably versatile. Its triple rear camera includes a 50MP (f/1.9) wide lens with PDAF and OIS, a 50MP (f/2.4) periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP (f/2.2) ultrawide sensor.  The main sensor delivers balanced, sharp images with good dynamic range, while the telephoto lens provides impressive detail at zoomed levels, something rarely seen in mid-range phones. Video recording goes up to 4K at 60fps, with both EIS and OIS support ensuring stable footage.  Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in April 2025 Against the Note 40 Pro+, which features a 108MP (f/1.8) sensor but lacks telephoto or ultrawide quality, the Note 50 Pro Plus easily comes out on top in versatility. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro and Vivo S19 Pro both pack capable triple-camera setups with better tuning and low-light performance, though the S19 Pro stands out with dual 50MP sensors and superior HDR output. The Sony Xperia 10 VI offers a basic dual-camera layout — fine for casual users, but limited in features compared to the rest. Selfie lovers will appreciate the Note 50 Pro Plus's 32MP (f/2.2) front camera with 4K recording — a rarity in this range. Vivo S19 Pro edges out with a 50MP (f/2.0) autofocus front cam, making it the go-to for content creators. Still, the Note 50 Pro Plus offers strong performance and flexibility, suitable for any photo scenario.  Processor Performance Powering the Note 50 Pro Plus is the Mediatek Dimensity 8350, a 4nm chip that is no slouch. The octa-core setup with a prime Cortex-A715 core at 3.35 GHz ensures snappy responsiveness across the board. Compared to the Dimensity 7020 on the Note 40 Pro+, the 8350 offers a noticeable leap in performance. It is closer in power to the Dimensity 9200+ in the Vivo S19 Pro, though the Vivo chip is slightly more advanced in AI tasks. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro dominates with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, currently the flagship standard, delivering exceptional speed and efficiency. Sony’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is clearly the slowest of the bunch, suited for light to moderate use.

Gaming Performance Gaming on the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus is a surprisingly fluid and immersive experience. With the Mali G615-MC6 GPU and a 144Hz AMOLED display, it smoothly runs fast-paced shooters, open-world games, and casual titles without breaking a sweat. Frame rates stay consistent, and the device stays cool even during extended play. The Bypass Charging feature is a smart addition, minimising heat while gaming and preserving battery health. While it does not outclass the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro with its elite Adreno 750 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it holds its own commendably. Vivo S19 Pro performs well but not as fluidly. In contrast, the Note 40 Pro+ and Sony Xperia 10 VI struggle to keep up. For its price, the Note 50 Pro Plus is a budget-friendly gaming powerhouse.  Battery Life  The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus excels in battery performance with its robust 5200mAh silicon-carbon Li-Ion battery, easily lasting a full day of heavy use. It supports 100W wired charging, reaching 100% in just 32 minutes, and 50W wireless MagCharge, a standout feature in its price range. Reverse charging is also available—10W wired, 7.5W wireless, and bypass charging — ideal for powering other devices on the go.  Read more: ZTE Nubia Red Magic 10 Pro Golden Saga Special Edition Review In comparison, the Note 40 Pro+ has a smaller 4600mAh (50% in 12 minutes) battery with the same wired charging speed but shorter endurance. The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro leads in capacity with 6100 mAh and matches 100W charging. The Vivo S19 Pro offers 5500 mAh with slightly slower 80W wired charging. The Sony Xperia 10 VI includes a 5000mAh battery but lacks fast charging capabilities.  Overall, the Note 50 Pro Plus combines strong battery life with industry-leading fast charging, making it ideal for power users and a top choice in its segment. Software and User Interface The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus delivers a refined software experience with Android 15 (up to 2 major Android upgrades) and XOS 15. The UI is smooth, visually appealing, and highly customisable. Users can tweak themes and animations and utilise tools like AI Smart Scene, performance boosters, and game optimisations. The always-on display adds functionality, and two promised Android upgrades ensure some future-proofing. Compared to the Note 40 Pro+ with XOS 14 (up to 2 major Android upgrades) on Android 14, this version is cleaner and more responsive. While there are a few pre-installed apps, most can be removed easily. In the broader landscape, ColorOS 14 on the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro feels more polished with advanced multitasking features. Vivo’s OriginOS 4 is visually rich but heavier, while Sony Xperia 10 VI keeps it minimal with near-stock Android.

It is responsive and user-friendly, offering more polish than previous Infinix iterations and competing well against pricier rivals.  Storage Options Storage on the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus is generous and future-ready. It comes with 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage paired with 12GB of RAM. The storage is blazing fast, ideal for large file transfers, quick app launches, and seamless multitasking. Plus, with UFS 4.0, users benefit from significantly improved read/write speeds over older formats like UFS 2.2 found in the Note 40 Pro+. Compared to the Note 40 Pro+’s 12 GB RAM with 256 and 512GB internal storage options, the Note 50 Pro Plus is leagues ahead in speed, though it lacks the extra 512GB variant.  The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro goes even further, offering up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage with an insane 24GB RAM option — true flagship territory.  Read more: Home Safety Digital Lockers and Vaults: Popular Models with Price Ranges in Bangladesh Vivo S19 Pro also provides several configurations up to 512GB and 16GB RAM with UFS 3.1, which is fast but slightly behind UFS 4.0 in performance. The Sony Xperia 10 VI lags here, offering just 128GB of slower UFS storage and 8GB RAM, though it supports microSD cards. So, for most users, while the Note 50 Pro Plus offers great storage performance, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is the absolute best among the five for storage capacity and speed.  Pros and Cons of Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus .

Infinix has consistently pushed its innovation in the budget and mid-range segment for quite some time now. Recently, the brand received the innovation award for its new battery tech at CES 2024. After considerable hype, Infinix officially launched the Infinix Note 40 Pro in the Bangladeshi market on 19th March 2024. Here’s our detailed take on the device.  Key Specifications of Infinix Note 40 Pro   Design and Build Quality: A Premium Look and Feel  Infinix has been consistent with the design language of the Note series. It is sleek, and innovative and has a premium look and feel. The premium feel is alleviated by the Magsafe-like case on the box.  The smartphone features a chamfered edge on the frame complemented by a vegan leather back. The curved front display also smoothly blends into the frame to create a unified slim footprint. The traditional flashlight has been replaced with AI-powered Active Halo. It’s like a small recreation of the glyph interface seen on the Nothing Phone.  Dimension-wise the Note 40 Pro comes in at 164.3 mm by 74.5 mm by 8.1 mm with either 190 g (leather back) or 196 g of weight. The front panel is symmetrical with a slight bezel at the bottom and top. The power button and volume rockers are placed on the right side.  The Note 40 Pro is also IP54 rated meaning it can easily withstand a light splash.  Read more: Walton NEXG N9 Review: Budget-friendly phone with decent features The Display: Sheer Perfection from Infinix  Infinix Note 40 Pro’s display features a 6.78-inch 3D curved LTPS AMOLED panel with 1B colors and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Its display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.  The typical brightness of the panel is around 550 nits and the HBM clocks out at 1300 nits. In addition to the usual features, the display also incorporates PWM dimming for enhanced view in the low light.  The symmetrical outlay allows for a sizeable 93.8% screen-to-body ratio. The display sports an FHD+ resolution of 1080 by 2436 pixels with 393 ppi density. Additionally, users will be getting DCI-P3 wide color gamut support. The panel feels crisp and sharp with great contrast and viewing angles making it perfect for media consumption.  Read more: Top Smartphones Being Released in April 2024: A mix of flagship midrange and budget options The Camera: Leaves More to be Desired   Note 40 Pro’s primary sensor is a 108 MP one (SK5HM2SP03-FGX9). The bizarre name suggests that it is sourced from Samsung with 1/1.67 inch sensor length and f/1.75 aperture. There’s also OIS to complement stability. The other two sensors are 2 MP ones. The front features a 32 MP selfie shooter that can shoot 1080-pixel videos at 30 fps.  Fortunately, the main camera does a decent job. Pictures came out detailed with good dynamic range. Images were slightly on the warmer side while shooting in auto mode. Pictures taken in low light weren’t all that great. The night mode is the saving grace considering the noise and grains.  Users can shoot up to 1440P footage at 30 fps from the back camera. The videos came out fairly decent thanks to the OIS onboard.  Read more: Humanes Ai Pin: Incredible Features of the Smartphone Killer Processor and Performance: Benchmarks Fall Short of the Price  The processor on the Note 40 Pro is Helio G99 Ultimate. There’s another global version that comes with a Mediatek Dimensity 7020 processor. But Bangladeshi users will be getting the G99 Ultimate one. It’s an octa-core processor with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.  Helio G99 Ultimate seems a letdown in a mid-range phone. Especially, when competitors like Redmi 14C and Tecno Spark 20 Pro are providing the slightly old G99 at a much lower price point. The miniscule upgrade brought forth by the Ultimate simply doesn’t justify the price.  But beyond the benchmarks and prices, the Note 40 Pro would suffice for most users. 3D titles like Asphalt 9 and PUBG ran smoothly on medium settings. The device did get heated a bit but that’s expected from a mid-range processor.  Overall the processor won’t blow you away with its numbers. But for casual use and moderate gaming, it will be enough.  Read more Cyberbullying What To Do If Someone Is Harassing You Online Software: A Refreshing Take From XOS  The Note 40 Pro comes with XOS 14 based on Android 14. It seems like Infinix has finally listened to its users as the number of bloatware has significantly decreased. The center punch-hole camera now acts as a dynamic island which is quite useful for glance notifications and charging indicators. Infinix has also announced that the Note 40 Pro will receive two years of software updates.  Battery and Charge Time  Now onto the exciting bit. Infinix has decided to introduce its own MagSafe charging with the Note 40 Pro which they call MagCharge. It is a power bank that comes with the retail box. It can be magnetically attached to the included cover (MagKit) and recharge the device to around 50% on a single charge. It also doubles as a wireless charger when hooked with the included power brick.  The 5000 mAh battery can be wire-charged by the 70W included charging brick. The Magcharge when connected to the brick can charge at 20W and up to 7.5W while working as a power bank. Infinix also included their new X1 chip for superior charging optimization to safeguard the battery.  Read more: Symphony Innova 30 Review: Budget-friendly powerful camera phone
