When I came across the Infinix Note 40x, I was excited to see if this 5G powerhouse lives up to its hype in Pakistan. With a promising lineup of features like a 108 MP camera, AMOLED display, and a Mediatek Helio G99 processor, I couldn’t wait to dig deeper into its specs and share my experience. Here’s my comprehensive review, focusing on everything that might interest you, including pricing, pros and cons, and the user experience.
Price of Infinix Note 40x in Pakistan
Currently, the Infinix Note 40x is priced at around 59,999 PKR in Pakistan, though prices may vary slightly depending on the platform and seller. Compared to similar models in this price range, I found this price quite competitive given its robust feature set.
If you’re in other regions, you’ll find prices slightly different, and some discounts may be available depending on the market conditions. The price range makes it accessible, though it’s worth checking for any seasonal sales or offers that might make it even more affordable.
Key Specifications and Features
Here are some of the standout specifications that drew me toward the Infinix Note 40x:
- Display: 6.78 inches, AMOLED, IPS LCD, with a resolution of 1080 x 2460 and ~396 ppi.
- Processor: Mediatek Helio G99 Octa-Core.
- Camera: 108 MP primary, 2 MP secondary, and selfie camera.
- Battery: 5000 mAh with fast charging.
- Software: Android 14 and XOS 14.
- Connectivity: 5G, NFC, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 6.
The AMOLED display immediately caught my eye. It delivers crisp visuals, especially in outdoor light. The Mediatek Helio G99 processor gives a decent performance for multitasking and casual gaming, though it’s not the fastest in this segment. The 108 MP primary camera is a treat for photography lovers but may fall short under low light.
Pros and Cons of Infinix Note 40x
Overall, while I found many advantages, there are certainly a few setbacks that potential users should consider, especially if low-light photography or in-hand comfort is a priority.
Design and Display
One of the first things I noticed about the Infinix Note 40x is its eye-catching design. Available in Starlit Black, Lime Green, and Palm Blue, it feels premium, though it’s quite large in hand. The IP52 water resistance rating provides a basic level of protection, which is reassuring, but it’s not fully waterproof. The AMOLED display with a high refresh rate makes scrolling smooth, but for those looking for a compact device, the size might be a bit challenging.
Performance and Hardware
Under the hood, the Mediatek Helio G99 processor paired with 4GB/8GB RAM offers satisfactory performance for daily tasks. I could handle multiple apps and moderate gaming without much lag. With 256GB storage, there’s ample room for apps, photos, and videos, which is a big plus for me.
On the downside, the performance isn’t as robust for high-end gaming, where I noticed a few drops in frame rate. For users focused on top-tier gaming, this might be a compromise.
Camera Capabilities
The camera setup of the Infinix Note 40x is one of its most promoted features. The 108 MP main camera truly shines in daylight conditions, capturing vivid and detailed images. However, the low-light performance left me wanting more; images turned out a bit grainy, and details were often lost.
While video recording supports 2K resolution, I found the lack of 2K video recording on the front camera limiting for vlogging or high-quality selfies. The dual camera setup on the rear is decent but doesn’t compete with flagship devices when it comes to night photography.
Battery and Charging
I was pleasantly surprised by the 5000 mAh battery. It easily lasted a full day with moderate usage, which includes browsing, streaming, and a bit of gaming. Fast charging support was another highlight; it takes around an hour to reach a sufficient level for the entire day.
On the downside, the absence of wireless charging might be a letdown for users who prefer this feature.
Software and User Experience
The XOS 14 interface on Android 14 is smooth and user-friendly. I enjoyed the customization options, which allowed me to set up the phone the way I liked. However, the pre-installed apps were a bit overwhelming, and it took time to organize and remove the unnecessary ones. Overall, the experience was enjoyable but slightly cluttered due to the extra apps.
Security and Additional Features
Security-wise, the side-mounted fingerprint sensor is responsive, though I missed the convenience of an under-display sensor. I appreciated the inclusion of features like NFC compatibility, USB Type-C port, FM Radio, and Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. For those who enjoy audio on the go, it’s a comprehensive setup.
The IP52 splash resistance adds a basic layer of security, but it’s not waterproof, so caution is needed in rainy conditions.
Warranty and After-Sales Service
Infinix provides a standard warranty and return policy, but I would recommend checking with your retailer to understand specifics. It’s always a good idea to be cautious about fake accessories and third-party vendors. Make sure to purchase from reliable sources to avoid scams and low-quality accessories.
Comparison with Competitors
In the same price range, the Infinix Note 40x holds its own with a strong display and camera but falls short in durability due to the lack of Gorilla Glass. Competing models offer comparable features, but the gaming performance, NFC, and display of the Infinix Note 40x make it a worthwhile choice.
