Infinix has been making waves recently with their affordable yet feature-packed phones, and the latest on the block is the Infinix Note 40 Pro+. This phone promises a premium design and super-fast charging, all without breaking the bank.

But can it stand up to the fierce competition in the budget smartphone market? Let’s dive in and see!

THE PROS OF THE DEVICE

Stylish design: The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ is a looker! It sports a vegan leather back that feels great in hand, and the green-on-gold color scheme of the review model is absolutely eye-catching. The phone is super light, which is a mixed bag – it's great for portability, but it can feel a tad on the flimsy side. Still, not too shabby!

Curved-edge display: The curved-edge screen on this phone does look pretty slick. You’ve got the power button and volume rocker on the right, a USB-C port on the bottom, and a big square camera module on the back that, thankfully, doesn’t stick out as much as some others.

Solid battery life: With a 4,600mAh battery, this phone can easily last a full day of regular use. Of course, if you’re a heavy gamer or keep the screen at max brightness all day, your results may vary. But for most users, daily charging won’t be a hassle.

Super-fast charging: This is where the Note 40 Pro+ really shines. It boasts a whopping 100W charging speed, juicing up from 0% to 100% in under 30 minutes! Plus, Infinix includes the 100W charger in the box, which is a nice touch. It also supports 20W wireless charging with Infinix’s MagCharge tech, which, although not as sleek as Apple’s MagSafe, still works well.

Nice-looking screen: The 6.78-inch AMOLED display is pretty impressive. With a 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, it’s smooth and vibrant. It’s not an LTPO display, so you can’t get that 1Hz to 120Hz flexibility, but you can lock it at 60Hz or 120Hz, or let it adjust automatically. The peak brightness of 1300 nits means it’s bright enough for most situations, and the screen’s clarity is quite decent.

THE CONS OF THE DEVICE

Sub-par camera: The camera setup is a bit of a letdown. Despite the 108-megapixel main camera, photos often turn out grainy and washed out, even in good lighting. The two additional 2-megapixel cameras for macro shots and depth sensing don’t add much value, producing low-quality images.

Slow performance: The Note 40 Pro+ is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 processor and 12GB of RAM. On paper, this sounds great, but in reality, the phone can be a bit laggy. The camera’s viewfinder is sometimes jumpy, and overall performance isn’t as smooth as normal.

Conclusion: The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ has a lot going for it with its stylish design, solid display, and impressive battery and charging speeds. However, it’s held back by its underwhelming camera and occasional performance hiccups. If these issues aren’t deal-breakers for you, it’s definitely worth considering!
