The battle to democratize 5G is well under way, and Infinix has just taken a major shot across the bow with the Note 50S 5G: an aggressively-priced access point to next-gen connectivity that wants to bring all the features of flagship smartphones to everyone. But can it really give you a genuinely great 5G experience without making some serious compromises? We break it down.
Packing a Punch (With Its Hohner)
One front the Infinix Note 50S 5G doesn’t look and feel like a budget phone. With a glossy back that shimmers when it catches the light – although it will act as a fingerprint magnet. It’s nice and comfortable to hold it too due to the flat sides and well distributed weight. The highlight design feature is the big circular camera module, which sets it apart from the hordes of lookalikes and makes it an instant premium trendsetter.
Seamless Visuals: 120Hz Display for All
Its display is also one of the phone’s major selling points. The Infinix Note 50S 5G features a 6.78-inch IPS LCD display running at a 120Hz refresh rate. This is an excellent feature at this price range.
- Smooth Scrolling: The 120Hz refresh rate offers screen transitions so fluid you’ll feel like you’re swimming in the pages of your favorite reads.
- Big, Beautiful Screen: The big screen with small bezels makes a beautiful screen for videos and games.
Though it’s an LCD panel (so you won’t get those deep blacks an AMOLED can produce), the high refresh rate more than makes up for it, providing smoothing that was previously the domain of the most expensive phones.
Performance: Your Ticket to the 5G World
The phone is backed by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor. This is a competent 6nm processor that is tailored to provide cost-effective 5G performance.
- Built for Tomorrow with 5G: This device supports multiple 5G network bands, so you can access super fast network speeds when 5G comes to your area for fast downloads and no more buffering. * Efficient Daily Processor: Its chip with virtual expansion has a performance advantage of performing applications seamlessly, including popular 3D games while keeping a fast process and flow of work, providing the ultimate multitasking experience. It is also capable of decent casual gaming.
Camera: Good in a Pinch
The main highlight of the Infinix Note 50S 5G is the dual-camera system, headlined by a 50MP AI main camera. Under good light, the main sensor snaps nice images with an acceptable level of detail and colors. It’s fine for snaps and documentation on social media. The camera does more leg-work in low-light scenarios as well, but that’s to be expected at this price. The 8MP front-facing camera is sufficient for video calls and selfies.
Battery Life: All Day Power and Fast Charging
The device is fueled by a gigantic 5000mAh battery. It has no trouble getting through a full day of heavy use and with moderate use you can get a day and a half out of a single charge. The included 33W fast charger provided a significant boost, meaning you can get back up and running with your first battery top-up of the day — something that many of its rivals typically neglect.
Final Verdict: Who Should Buy It?
The Infinix Note 50S 5G makes no apologies for what it sets out to be – the most affordable 5G phone around. It impresses with much-needed 5G support, an amazing 120Hz display and long battery life with fast charging. Whether you are a student, first time smartphone user or simply someone who wants to experience 5G technology without burning a hole in your pocket, the Infinix Note 50S 5G is probably one of the best offers you can grab off the shelves today. It just goes to show: You don’t have to spend a fortune to get in on modern, core smartphone experiences.
