Infinix Note 40 Series to Have 108MP Cameras & Curved OLED Displays
Infinix has introduced its new Infinix Note 40 series, which highlights expansive 120Hz AMOLED displays, most of which are curved, and 108MP cameras, with most featuring Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). All models in this series offer wired fast charging and support the company’s innovative magnetic wireless charging system, compatible with a special case.
Infinix Note 40 Pro+ 5G
The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ 5G marks the debut of the Pro+ designation for Infinix Note 40 Series, although last year’s Note 30 VIP held a comparable position. Powered by the Dimensity 7020 chipset, the Infinix Note 40 Pro+ 5G features a 6nm chip with two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six A55 cores at 2.0GHz. It boasts up to 12GB of RAM, which can be augmented with virtual RAM.
The device sports a curved AMOLED display with 55° sloping sides, offering a 120Hz 10-bit panel with FHD+ resolution and up to 1,300 nits peak brightness, utilizing 2,160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. Gorilla Glass protects the display, and Infinix includes a tempered glass protector in the packaging. Equipped with a triple camera system, the Pro+ features a 108MP main camera with OIS and up to 3x in-sensor zoom, complemented by two 2MP auxiliary cameras. Notably, it includes a 32MP selfie camera.
Infinix introduces its first in-house power management chip, the Cheetah X1, capable of handling charging and safety tasks up to 100W. The 4,500mAh battery achieves a 50% charge in just 12 minutes, with a rating of 1,600 cycles. Additionally, 5 minutes of charging can sustain 3 hours of gaming or nearly 7 hours of video playback. Wireless charging at 20W is supported, along with a magnetic charging system named “MagKit.” Bypass Charging 2.0 directs power directly to the motherboard, bypassing the battery, aiding in maintaining a lower operating temperature.
With a large vapor chamber and graphite sheet, the phone’s temperature is reduced by 7°C. JBL stereo speakers combined with x-axis haptic feedback offer an immersive audio experience. Rated IP53, the device is splash-proof and available in two color options: Vintage Green with a green leatherette back and golden accents, and Obsidian Black with a black marble texture.
Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G
The Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G shares similarities with the Pro+ model, featuring a curved 6.78” 120Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7020 chipset, and a 108MP primary camera. However, without the “Pro+” designation, some features have been slightly scaled back.
This model offers up to 8GB of RAM (with an additional 8GB virtual), 256GB storage, and maintains 45W wired charging while supporting 20W wireless charging with MagKit compatibility. Moreover, it features a larger 5,000mAh battery. Dual SIM functionality with 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 5 (ac), Bluetooth, NFC, and an IR blaster are included. “All Note 40 Pro models receive 2 OS updates and 3 years of security patches.”
Infinix Note 40 Pro
The Infinix Note 40 Pro, lacking 5G capability, features a Helio G99 chipset. Despite this, it matches the Pro+ model’s RAM capacity of 12GB (actual and virtual) and offers faster 70W wired charging alongside 20W MagKit charging with a 5,000mAh battery. With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage in the base model, it retains the same 6.78” 120Hz display with curved sides and Gorilla Glass Protection. It also boasts slightly improved dust and water resistance at IP54.
Infinix Note 40
The Infinix Note 40, despite lacking the “Pro” designation, shares many similarities with the Pro model, with the main difference being its flat display, which may be viewed as an upgrade by some users. It features a 6.78” FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display. Powered by the Helio G99 chipset, it offers 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, along with a different 108MP main camera featuring a 1/1.52” ISOCELL sensor.
Pricing & Availability
The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ 5G will be priced starting at $310, while the standard Pro 5G will start at $290. The 4G models, the Infinix Note 40 Pro and the vanilla Note 40, will start at $260 and $200 respectively. Infinix and DesignWorks, a BMW group company, are collaborating on a special Racing Edition. Pricing may vary by region.
