Infinix Note 50X 5G+: Infinix has quietly been making a space for itself the Indian smartphone market by doing something many big brands just don’t seem to be doing – offering serious value for money which does not burden the wallet.

The Infinix Note 50X 5G+ stays true to that lineage, offering 5G connectivity, a large battery and aesthetically pleasing design to bargain-hungry users unwilling to compromise on the strengths of their devices.

Here’s what makes the Note 50X 5G+ such an enticing pick — and where it slightly comes up short.

Design: Punchy and Youthful

First impressions? It doesn’t look like a cut-rate phone at all. You will like the glossy polycarbonate back and the attention to detail in arranging the camera module on the Infinix Note 50X 5G+. It’s a modern, slightly edgy design, very much aimed at young buyers.

Despite the large display, the phone is not overly bulky. Ergonomic design with curved edges and screen that makes it comfortable to use one-handed. And it’s available in bright colors, such as Electric Blue and Cosmic Black, that make it feel like a statement piece.

Display: Big, Bright and Butter-Smooth

It offers a 6.78-inch FHD+ IPS LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen isn’t an AMOLED display, but it competes admirably in brightness, color saturation, and sharpness.

As you swipe through reels, binge-watch movies on OTT or play casual games, the display provides a surprisingly immersive experience. And that high refresh rate? It adds a silkiness to every flick and swipe.

Performance: Not So Sluggish, For a Budget Phone

For performance, the device relies on the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Virtual RAM expansion of up to 16GB also provides it with a decent advantage for multitasking.

In daily use, the Note 50X 5G+ feels quite snappy. Apps open quickly, multitasking is fluid, and games such as PUBG or Free Fire play with few hiccups at medium settings. Performance is more than respectable for this price, too.

The Software: Plain, With a Side of Quirks

Infinix’s custom UI is functional on runs on XOS 14 (based on Android 14), but still comes populated with some bloat.

There are pre-installed apps you may want to uninstall, but otherwise the interface is clean and loaded with a bunch of nifty features — such as smart panel shortcuts, video assistant, and gaming mode.

It isn’t pure Android, but once you become accustomed to the layout, is relatively straight forward.

Camera: Gets the Job Done

All three phones feature a 50MP main camera, which is also assisted by AI features, but only on the Ultra do you get a 2MP depth sensor and an 8MP front camera, unlike the Pro and Pro+.

During the day, the rear camera takes detailed, vibrant photos with decent dynamic range. It’s just OK in low light, though night mode does help a little.

Portraits are fine, and selfies are well-exposed and sharp, especially with the help of AI beautification. It’s not going to compete with high-end flagships, but for casual users, it is definitely passable.

Battery Life: Built to Last

Arguably the biggest highlight here is the 6000mAh battery. Even with heavy use, it should easily last a day and a half.

And combine that with 33W fast charging and you’ve got a device that’s not going to die on you midday. It’s a beast — and in today’s hyperkinetic universe, that’s a huge W.

Infinix Note 50X 5G+ : Final Verdict: Large Value in a Loud Package

The point is that the Infinix Note 50X 5G+ knows who it is and isn’t pretending to be flagship. It’s the device that’s designed for students, the cost-conscious and anyone who wants that real feature but not at real flagship prices.

It ticks nearly all the right boxes for its price range, thanks to a big battery, smooth 120Hz display, decent everyday speed and 5G connectivity.

Yes, it has some flaws, but by and large this one’s a “value champ” (the pun here needs no explanation) and punches firmly above its weight category.
