Infinix Launches Affordable Note 50 and Note 50 Pro With Premium Flagship Features
Infinix has launched the Note 50 and Note 50 Pro, delivering premium features at a budget-friendly price. Both smartphones boast high refresh rate AMOLED screens, enhanced cameras, and durable batteries. Although they have many features in common, the Pro variant stands out with an upgraded selfie camera and faster charging capabilities.
Design and Display
The Infinix Note 50 and Note 50 Pro feature a sleek metallic body, giving them a premium look and feel. Both phones come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display offering Full HD+ resolution. One of the biggest upgrades is the 144Hz refresh rate.
Despite maintaining the same size and resolution as their predecessors, the Note 40 series, the higher refresh rate makes the display experience much better. Both models are also IP64-rated, offering dust and somewhat water resistance for added durability.
Internals and Software
Both devices are powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset, a mid-range processor built for efficient performance. While some users may have anticipated a more powerful SoC, the gradual 5G rollout in Indonesia makes 4G connectivity a more suitable option for these models.
Running on XOS 15, based on Android 15, the Note 50 and Note 50 Pro offer a modern user experience with enhanced software features and system optimizations. Additional highlights include NFC, FM radio, and an under-display fingerprint scanner.
Camera
Both models feature an upgraded camera system with a 50MP main sensor, enhanced by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for improved low-light photography and sharper image quality.
The rear camera setups vary between the two devices. The Note 50 comes with a 2MP depth sensor, while the Note 50 Pro swaps it out for an 8MP ultrawide lens and a flicker sensor, providing more versatility for different photography needs.
For selfies, the Note 50 is equipped with a 13MP front camera, whereas the Note 50 Pro boasts a higher-resolution 32MP shooter, making it the preferred choice for selfie enthusiasts and high-quality video calls.
Battery and Pricing
Battery life is another major highlight, with both models featuring a 5,200mAh battery for long-lasting usage. The Note 50 supports 45W wired charging, while the Note 50 Pro steps up to 90W wired charging, significantly reducing charging times. Both devices also support wireless magnetic charging (similar to MagSafe) at up to 10W, providing added convenience.
The Infinix Note 50 is available in Green, Red, Gray, and Gold, with an 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant starting at IDR 2,699,000 ($165). The Note 50 Pro offers a more premium look with Purple, Gold, Gray, and Silver color options, priced at IDR 2,999,000 ($182) for the same memory configuration.
