Infinix started slowly in the new year, with the first launch of the phone only took place in March. However, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has made great progress in the smartphone market with its latest offer, the Note 50s. The new Infinix telephone not only solves a few problems with the previous model, but also offers a variety of new features, including a curved amoled screen, a smooth design and a fingerprint sensor in the show, all for a starting price of only £ 15,999. I have been using the notes 50s over the past few weeks and here are my two pieces on how the device performed in the real world. Unboxing and Design: Within the classic green -colored box of the Infinix Note 50s, you get the device yourself wrapped in a plastic skin, a type A -to -type C cable, a 45 W boot, SIM -ejector -instrument, a colorful cover and a few paperwork you would never read. The Note 50s come in three color roads, the assessment unit I received comes in titanium gray color with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage. Although, I have gained a brief experience with the Marine Drift (blue) color that is back with vegan leather, and the version is definitely the more premium that looks like the three variants. This version of the Note 50s does not contain the scent of Infinix, so I couldn’t test the innovation, but let’s look at the rest of the design. The Note 50s look and feel a lot like the Note 50x, which I reviewed last month. It comes with the same ‘gem cut’ design for the cameram module and subtle Infinix brand at the bottom and even the enclosed case looks identical. The Note 50s feel and look a lot like the Note 50x, which I reviewed earlier this month. It contains the same ‘gem cut’ design for the cameram module and subtle Infinix brand at the bottom. Even the enclosed case looks identical – and is still among my favorite cases. What then changed? Infinix made this phone thinner and lighter and measures a thickness of just 7.6 mm and a weight of just 180 grams. Along with the curved edges on the hind panel and the frame, this phone easily goes on hand and it is very comfortable to carry around the jeans bag as well. The phone still comes with MIL-STD-810H certification and IP64 rating for water and dust resistance. Kudos to Infinix because they not only transferred the good elements of their last phone, but also the extra bit goes by adding a slimmer profile.

Display: The Note 50s have a 6.78-inch Full HD+ 3D-bowed Amoled screen with a 144hz update rate. It offers a peak brightness of 1300 nits and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The screen looks absolutely surprising for the price. It delivers punchy colors, deep blacks and a solid dynamic range, leading to an exciting viewing experience and is a major upgrade from the 720p panel on the Note 50X. The slim frames around the screen help reach an impressive 89.8 percent ratio. Another significant upgrade is the addition of stereo speakers with JBL brand. Unlike the Note 50x, the quality of the speaker is actually quite good. I really enjoyed listening to music and watching videos with the built -in speakers. Camera: Infinix Note 50s come with a 64mp Sony IMX682 primary shooter, a 2MP secondary shooter and a 13MP front of the front. There is a lot to like this camera setup, but the first and most important thing is that both the front and rear camera are able to record 4k videos at 30 fps. Secondly, the 64mp master sensor is actually a very capable shooter for the price. In daylight, the images taken with the note 50s seem to be sharp and the colors look very close to natural tone, but for human topics the color tone can be on the softer side. Even in low light or artificial lighting conditions, the primary shooter can hold its own, and especially the price of the price point. Just like other Infinix smartphones I have checked in the past, the Note 50s also struggle with colorful objects in a low light scenario, say a billboard or a night lamp, but there are still some improvements compared to its predecessors. The output of the selfie camera is slightly better than I expected, it can capture near the natural skin color and spacious details in good lighting conditions, but the sensor can struggle a little under low lighting conditions. In general, I would say that Note 50s is good is one of the most improved camera tone of Infinix, and although it may not win awards for its photography skills, the phone will still give many other devices in this segment tough competition. Software and Battery: The Note 50s are powered by XOS 15 based on Android 15 and Infinix promised 2 years OS updates and 3 years of security patches with this device. I shared all my detailed thoughts on XOS 15 during the Note 50X review, but only to repeat briefly. The XOS15 is ad-free and does not contain any bloatware and limited first party apps. The onion contains many AI features such as Circle to Search, AIGC Portrait Mode, AI -generated backgrounds and Folax Voice Assistant, but most of these features currently do not have nuance and are not really something that most users can use every day. The truly useful features that XOS come along with are Dynamic Bar (works just like Dynamic Island on iPhones), Smart Panel (similar to OnePlus and Oppo) and social assistant (Infinix’s original function that comes in handy during WhatsApp calls). Another thing I really like about XOS 15 is the ability to adjust the colors not only the home screen, but also on the notice panel and home screen. The Note 50s go to the battery and pack a 5,500 mAh setup with support for 45W fast loading (adapter provided in the box). It took about an hour and 20 minutes to take the phone of 0 – 100 and the battery easily took more than a day in the light to click the use of some photos, about an hour’s game and some videos. Performance: The Note 50s is powered by the MediaAk Dimensity 7300 Ultimate Processor, and as I said in my Note 50X review, there is nothing ‘ultimate’ about this processor, but it is the same as the dimensity 7300 seen on the such as CMF Telephone 1 (Revision), IQOO Z10x (Review), OPPO F29 Pro and Lava Agni 3 (Review). And this writer still feels furious about MediaAk as he tries to pull out this scam on users by adding ultimate, pro- or energy inserts as a way to sell exactly the same slide set. If you have lived under a rock, it is a very stable slide set with no history of heating problems or left behind and provides very fluent performance with even the ability of light play, but it is not strictly designed for gamers, as the benchmarks clearly indicate. When we talk about the benchmarks, we quickly look at all the numbers: Antutu: 6,47,390 (higher than the note 50x, slightly lower than F29 Pro and Agni 3) Geekbench 6: 1046 (single core), 3045 (multi-core) [Both scores are higher than Note 50x and F29 Pro but lower than Agni 3] 3Dmark Wild Life Stress Test: Best Walk Score – 872; Lowest – 868; Stability ruling of 99.5%: The £ 20,000 price bracket is currently full of good options. Some perform in performance, others in battery capacity, cameras, and so on. Where does the Infinix Note 50s fit in? Well, I believe that the Note 50s are currently the best Allrounder telephone you can buy in this segment. It brings a wonderful design, a slim and premium appearance, a tried-and-tested processor, a clean, ad-free software experience, decent cameras, a bright amoled screen, fast LPDDR5x RAM and reliable battery life. Considering the fact that this phone sells effectively for less than £ 15,000, I do not think there is a better alternative now.
