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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.

Infinix has officially announced that it will unveil its highly anticipated Infinix Note 40 Series on April, marking an exciting milestone for the brand. In a recent update, the company revealed that select models within the lineup will feature a dedicated Cheetah X1 chip, specially designed to manage charging processes with precision and efficiency.
The Cheetah X1 chip will introduce Infinix’s innovative All-Round FastCharge 2.0 technology, boasting impressive charging capabilities. While reports suggest that this technology can achieve remarkable speeds of up to 260W wired and 110W wireless charging, Infinix’s announcement clarified that the X1 chip will currently support rates of up to 100W in the initial devices.
One of the key highlights of the Infinix Cheetah X1 chip is its ability to optimize charging rates while safeguarding the battery’s health. Through real-time monitoring, the chip ensures a delicate balance between charging speed and temperature, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the battery.
Furthermore, the platform offers eight distinct charging scenarios tailored for various scenarios, including wired, wireless, and reverse wired and reverse wireless charging. This comprehensive approach includes specialized battery management protocols for overnight charging and extreme temperature conditions.
To uphold user safety, Infinix has implemented a robust 63-level safety shield within the Cheetah X1 chip. This advanced module provides automatic intervention and user alerts to mitigate potential risks, ensuring peace of mind for consumers. Additionally, the company has managed to condense the Cheetah X1 chip into an impressively compact form factor, enabling faster processing, enhanced performance, and a more lightweight and comfortable user experience.
As anticipation builds for the launch of the Infinix Note 40 Series, enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing the cutting-edge technology and innovative features offered by Infinix’s latest devices. Stay tuned for further updates as the unveiling event approaches.
