The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus 5G, launched globally on March 20, 2025, is the latest premium mid-range smartphone in the Note 50 series. Expected to arrive in India soon, it is priced around ₹31,990-32,000 (ex-showroom) and competes with devices like the Vivo V40 5G, Motorola Edge 50 Pro 5G, and Poco X8 Ultra 5G. Designed for gamers, content creators, and tech enthusiasts, it combines a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, powerful chipset, and advanced AI features.
Design and Build
The smartphone offers a sleek design with a glass front, aluminum frame, and vegan leather back on select variants. It measures 163.36 x 74.53 x 7.99 mm and weighs 209 grams. Available in Enchanted Purple, Titanium Grey, and a Special Racing Edition with tri-color stripes and sapphire crystal-embedded power button, the Note 50 Pro Plus looks premium and unique. Its IP64 dust and splash resistance ensures durability, though it is slightly less robust than the IP68/IP69 rating of some competitors. The HyperCasting manufacturing process and ArmorAlloy build enhance sturdiness, though the glossy finish attracts fingerprints.
Display
The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus 5G features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (2436 x 1080 pixels, ~393 ppi), 144Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits peak brightness, and 10-bit color depth. HDR10 support ensures rich visuals, ideal for gaming and media consumption. The display includes an in-display fingerprint sensor and AI-driven brightness adjustment. While the high refresh rate provides smooth scrolling and animations, sunlight legibility is slightly lower than rivals like the Motorola Edge 50 Pro 5G.
Performance
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate (4nm, octa-core, up to 3.0 GHz) with a Mali-G68 MC4 GPU, the device delivers strong performance, scoring around 950,000-1,000,000 on AnTuTu. It comes with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM (with 12GB virtual RAM) and 256GB or 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, which is non-expandable. The smartphone runs Android 15 with XOS 15 and offers AI-powered features such as One Tap AI, AI Wallpaper Generator, and AI Noise Cancellation for calls. The vapor chamber cooling system keeps the device temperature under control, though XOS bloatware may slightly affect interface smoothness.
Camera System
The triple rear camera setup includes:
- 50MP primary camera with OIS and periscope lens supporting 100x zoom for detailed shots and 4K video.
- 8MP ultra-wide camera with 112° field of view for landscapes and group photos.
- 2MP macro camera for close-up shots, though detail is limited.
The front camera is 50MP and supports 1080p video, enhanced by AI features for selfies and vlogging. Additional tools like AI Eraser and AIGC Portrait improve creative options, while the dedicated noise cancellation microphone ensures clear audio during calls.
Battery and Charging
Equipped with a 5200mAh battery, the Note 50 Pro Plus lasts 1.5–2 days with moderate use, offering 8–10 hours of screen-on time. It supports 100W fast charging, reaching full charge in approximately 25–30 minutes, and 20W wireless charging. The battery retains up to 80% capacity after 1000 cycles. Minor warming can occur during charging, and reverse wireless charging is not supported.
Connectivity and Features
The smartphone supports 12 5G bands, dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, GPS, and USB-C with audio. It lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. Sensors include an in-display fingerprint scanner, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, and ambient light sensor. JBL-tuned stereo speakers provide enhanced audio for multimedia experiences.
Pricing and Availability
The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus 5G is priced at ₹31,990-32,000 ex-showroom, with estimated on-road prices in Delhi around ₹36,000-37,000. It will be available at Infinix stores, Flipkart, Amazon, Bajaj Finserv outlets, and other retail partners. Early bookings require a ₹2,000 token. Launch offers may include ₹2,000-3,000 bank discounts, ₹5,000 exchange bonuses, and no-cost EMI options.

Conclusion
The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus 5G is a strong mid-range option for gamers, content creators, and tech enthusiasts. With its 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 8350 Ultimate processor, 50MP triple-camera system, and 5200mAh battery with 100W fast charging, it offers excellent performance and battery life. Priced around ₹31,990-32,000, it competes well in the sub-₹35,000 5G segment, though bloatware and a weak macro camera remain minor drawbacks.
