‘Fast to First’ is an appropriate description for this powerhouse of a phone.
The Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G is the latest entry in the brand’s NOTE series of smartphones, and boy, is it quite the beast. After three days of putting it through the ropes, I can safely say this is one of their most impressive gaming phones yet. This metal-framed powerhouse is the flagship gaming phone for Call of Duty: Mobile, and it’s easy to see why.
Inspired by CODM’s iconic Ghost, the Undying Soldier, the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G was built for top-tier performance. Form meets function to make a device worthy of the Undying Soldier himself, ensuring that you’re always one step ahead of the competition.
Right off the bat, the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G’s sleek metal frame caught my eye, but I quickly discovered it’s not just for show. It’s tougher than plastic yet lighter than what I was expecting. The metal frame was comfortable and cool on my hands, making it perfect for everyday use, whether it’s long gaming sessions or long-distance calls.
Complementing that is its 144Hz Eye-Care AMOLED screen and 100W +50W wireless 5200mAh 6-year battery. It’s easy on the eyes, quick to recharge, and even has a Sony IMX896 OIS camera with 100X Periscope zoom. It’s got every smartphone utility you need for both work and play.
Empowered by AI
Speaking of utility, the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G also includes their One-tap Infinix AI, Folax, and Bio-Active Halo AI lighting. Together with their new AI Buds and Rings, the NOTE 50 series is the launching point for Infinix’s AI-empowered devices.
You can activate Folax by simply long-pressing the power button, asking it a question, or making a request, and get an answer quickly and seamlessly. Folax is also integrated with the phone’s unique health monitoring feature. By touching the Bio-Active Halo AI lighting sensor at the back, you can instantly measure your blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. It’s a remarkable feature that further pushes what smartphones can do to make everyday life easier.
The AI Buds are also a neat addition to the collection. Their charging case is rather large and weighty, but that’s because it also doubles as a handy touchscreen remote for your phone. It allows you to access videos, music, or calls without ever needing to pick up your phone. The buds are also intertwined with Folax, allowing you to access the AI by simply asking it a question.
Leave Them in the Dust
But what truly sets this gaming phone apart? The MediaTek D8350 5.5G chipset. Together with 24GB of extended RAM and 256GB ROM, the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G provides a fast and smooth gaming experience at the highest graphical quality.
Even while playing CODM with ‘Very High’ graphics settings, I experienced no stutters or slowdowns in both gameplay and cutscenes. Everything was fast and responsive, which is an impressive feat considering the breakneck pace of CODM matches. I also noticed it had no problem with long gaming sessions, as the phone was rarely heating up despite all the frenetic action.
With all this, I was able to focus on just playing the game, as the phone can clearly handle everything else.
Infinix has already established itself as a powerful yet budget-friendly gaming phone brand, but they’re really stepping up with the NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G. And you don’t have to wait long to get one for yourself as the NOTE 50, NOTE 50 Pro, and NOTE 50 Pro+ are available at all official Infinix online and offline stores with special promo prices exclusively on Shopee.
