Infinix Note 40

The Infinix Note 40 boasts a vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution (1080×2436 pixels) for crisp and colorful visuals, and it supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes scrolling, animations, and compatible games look significantly smoother and more fluid than a standard 60Hz screen. The display also features an ultra-narrow bezel design, an optical in-display fingerprint sensor, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.

The Infinix Note 40 is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate octa-core processor, paired with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU and 8GB of RAM (expandable virtually). This chipset offers solid performance for daily tasks and handles light to moderate gaming efficiently; however, while casual games run smoothly, users who play the most demanding, competitive mobile games may notice some minor lag or stutter at the highest graphical settings, as the phone is geared toward being an all-rounder rather than a dedicated heavy-duty gaming device.

The main camera setup on the Infinix Note 40 features a high-resolution 108 MP primary sensor for capturing detailed photographs, which is complemented by a 2 MP depth sensor. The phone also comes with a 32 MP front-facing camera for taking selfies and handling video calls, with both the main and selfie cameras supported by various AI-powered features like a night mode, portrait mode, and different shooting modes to optimize your shots in varying lighting conditions.

The phone comes with a large 5000 mAh battery designed to provide all-day usage for most users. A key feature of the Note 40 is its charging capabilities, which include 45 W wired fast charging that can get the battery to 50% in about 26 minutes, and it also supports up to 20 W wireless MagCharge, a feature that allows for magnetic wireless charging, alongside reverse wired and reverse wireless charging capabilities.

The Infinix Note 40 runs on Android 14 with Infinix's custom user interface overlay, XOS 14, which adds a variety of customization options and features, including the company's AI voice assistant, Folax. Infinix generally commits to providing at least one or two major Android OS upgrades and several years of security patches for its Note series, meaning it is expected to receive the next few versions of Android and the corresponding XOS updates.

No, the Infinix Note 40 does not feature a dedicated 3.5 mm headphone jack, so users will need to rely on the USB Type-C port, wireless headphones, or a dongle for wired audio. However, it does feature stereo speakers which are tuned by JBL, offering enhanced and more immersive audio for media consumption, gaming, and calls compared to a single-speaker setup.
