Pros and Cons

Pros of the Infinix Note 50x
Powerful Chipset for the Price: It is one of the few phones in its price segment to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate (4nm), which offers excellent performance for daily tasks and respectable 90FPS gaming capabilities.
Massive Battery with Fast Charging: It packs a very large 5,500 mAh battery for long endurance, coupled with 45W wired fast charging for quick top-ups, and includes the charger in the box.
High Durability Certifications: The device comes with both an IP64 rating (dust and splash resistance) and MIL-STD-810H military certification, indicating a robust and durable build quality.
Useful Extra Features: It includes valuable features often missing in this class, such as an IR Blaster (for remote control), Dual Stereo Speakers (tuned by DTS), and Bypass Charging (which is beneficial for gaming).
Decent Main Camera for Daylight: The 50MP main camera generally performs well in good daylight conditions, capturing crisp, detailed, and color-rich photos for its budget category, and supports 4K video recording.
Cons of the Infinix Note 50x
Underwhelming Display Resolution: The screen resolution is only HD+ (720p) on a large 6.67-inch panel. In an era where many rivals offer Full HD+ at this price, the lower resolution results in noticeably softer visuals and a low pixel density.
Missing Headphone Jack: The phone does not include a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a common and often expected feature in budget and mid-range devices.
Heavy and Bloated Software: It runs on Infinix's XOS 15 (based on Android 15), which is known for its heavy customization and bloatware (pre-installed, unneeded third-party apps), despite attempts to clean up the interface.
Low-Resolution Selfie Camera: The 8MP front-facing camera is low-resolution and generally offers average-to-poor performance, especially in challenging lighting conditions, compared to competitors with 16MP or 32MP sensors.
Hybrid SIM Slot: The memory expansion slot is a hybrid (SIM/microSD), meaning you cannot use two SIM cards and a microSD card for storage expansion at the same time.
