Infinix has been slowly stepping out of the shadow of big players, but with the Note 50 Pro+, it just walked straight into the spotlight and planted a flag. This is not a gentle update. This is a bold redesign of what a midrange phone can be — pushing boundaries in performance, cameras, build, and features most wouldn’t even dare dream of in this price range.

Let’s just call it how it is: the Infinix Note 50 Pro+ is so stacked, it might make some of the big-brand midrangers sweat a little.

A Camera Setup Worth Talking About

Midrange phones often come with a triple-camera setup, but it’s usually just one real camera and two fillers. That’s not the case here.

Infinix did a 180° with the Note 50 Pro+. There’s now a genuinely useful triple camera system:

• A main 50MP Sony sensor with OIS and a sizeable 1/1.56″ sensor
• A 3x telephoto lens (also 50MP) with close focusing down to 12cm
• An 8MP ultrawide with autofocus — which is rare even in higher-end devices

This telephoto setup is practically unheard of at this tier. The detail and macro capabilities it delivers are surprisingly good, and the ultrawide actually being usable (thanks to autofocus) adds serious flexibility. You’re no longer stuck with one decent camera. You’ve got three that actually do things.

Selfie performance is solid with a 32MP front shooter. While we’re not thrilled with the exaggerated resolution (we’d rather have a clean 10MP), the dynamic range is excellent, and the results are vibrant — though you might want to nudge the saturation up a notch.

Video? It’s Got That Covered Too

Recording tops out at 4K60 from both the main and telephoto lenses. You even get HDR video support and decent stabilization across most modes. Even the front cam can shoot 4K at 30fps — which is a rarity.

The ultrawide camera tops out at 1440p30, which feels like the one weak link in this setup, but considering most phones in this class don’t even include AF on the ultrawide, it’s still a big win.

Performance with Real Muscle

Driving everything is the MediaTek Dimensity 8350, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In short: this phone moves. It’s not a flagship processor, but it’s up to 3x more capable than its predecessor’s 7020 chip and competes well with other 8300-series rivals.

From multitasking to gaming, it holds its own. Games are mostly locked to 60fps — not because of the phone, but because of app restrictions. The 144Hz OLED display? It’s buttery smooth for everyday use, and the 2,304Hz PWM dimming keeps your eyes comfortable.

There’s no 90Hz or below-60Hz support, which is a little weird, but hardly a deal-breaker. It nails 60Hz and 144Hz modes cleanly.

A Display That Shines Bright (Literally)

The 6.78-inch OLED panel is vibrant, colorful (10-bit with 1 billion colors), and bright — peaking at 1300 nits. The resolution (1080×2436) and unique 20.3:9 aspect ratio make for a very sleek display with slim bezels and a very boxy, modern feel.

HDR10 and HDR10+ are supported, but the actual HDR playback is a bit inconsistent — YouTube videos can be decoded, but you don’t get the brightness pop. Netflix doesn’t trigger HDR either, though it plays back in FullHD just fine thanks to Widevine L1 certification.

Battery and Charging: Big, Fast, and Smart

Battery capacity has been boosted to 5,200mAh, thanks to a silicon-carbon cell. That’s up from 4,600mAh in the last model — a solid jump.

Battery life is good, not excellent. Most day-to-day users will get a full day comfortably, but the call time is oddly weak at just 18 hours — if you talk on the phone a lot, take note.

What it really nails is charging:

• 100W wired charging (full charge in ~32 minutes)
• 50W wireless MagCharge
• Reverse wired and wireless charging options
• Bypass charging support to reduce heat while gaming

This level of charging flexibility is extremely rare in this price segment.

Premium Design with Thoughtful Details

Gone is the plastic frame — replaced by Infinix’s so-called ArmorAlloy, essentially a fancy aluminum blend. The back is glass with a frosted finish that’s surprisingly grippy. The Note 50 Pro+ comes in Titanium Grey, Enchanted Purple, and a very flashy Racing Edition (a BMW M division collab).

The IP64 rating offers dust-tight protection and water resistance from splashes. It’s not submersion-proof, but a solid upgrade from the previous IP53.

The standout design feature is the Halo AI lighting system on the rear — a pill-shaped RGB array under the camera island that reacts to calls, notifications, charging, and more. Not just cool, but genuinely useful.

Fingerprint, Audio, and Extras

The under-display fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable, though placed a bit too low. Stereo speakers with JBL tuning bring in surprisingly rich sound, and you even get FM radio and an infrared blaster — throwback features, but appreciated ones.

Oh, and there’s even a heart-rate sensor tucked into the camera module. Didn’t expect that, did you?

Software and AI: Clean, Customizable, and Smart

The Note 50 Pro+ runs Android 15 with Infinix’s XOS 15 skin. It’s packed with features — AI tools, themes, and productivity tricks — but it doesn’t feel bloated.

There’s even a choice between the native Folax assistant (with DeepSeek R1 integration) and Google Gemini, letting you customize your AI experience.

Infinix promises two major OS updates and three years of security patches. That might not match Samsung’s longevity, but it’s pretty decent for a phone in this class.

Verdict: It’s a Wake-Up Call to the Midrange World

The Infinix Note 50 Pro+ is a straight-up overachiever.

It doesn’t just check boxes — it overdelivers on them. The telephoto camera, 100W wired + 50W wireless charging, aluminum and glass build, heart-rate sensor, RGB Halo system, and AI features? That’s not a typical midrange resume.

Some phones talk about flagship features. The Note 50 Pro+ quietly implements them, one after the other.

Of course, it’s not perfect — the HDR playback quirks, lack of 90Hz mode, and underwhelming call time are worth noting. But these are nitpicks in a phone that genuinely punches well above its weight.

If you were eyeing a Galaxy A36 or Redmi Note 14 Pro, you might want to pause and take a long look at what Infinix is doing here.
