If you’re hunting for a mid-range smartphone that delivers more than its price tag suggests, the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus might be worth a serious look. Infinix has taken a bold leap this time, and after spending a good chunk of time with this device, I can confidently say it’s not business as usual.
Design & Build
At first glance, you might think the Note 50 Pro Plus is a premium flagship, and honestly, you wouldn’t be wrong to assume that. It’s wrapped in aerospace-grade aluminum with a boxy, symmetrical look reminiscent of more expensive devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The titanium grey finish? Chef’s kiss.
It’s a bit chunkier than its sibling, the Note 50 Pro, but for good reason. This phone’s sturdiness, combined with an IP64 rating for water splashes and dust, feels like a step in the right direction for the mid-range segment. And yes, there’s an RGB notification light on the backit’s subtle but stylish.
Display
Let’s talk screen. You’re getting a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED panel with a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. Whether you’re scrolling through your socials or watching YouTube, everything feels fluid. Colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and the symmetrical bezels add a sleek modern touch.
Peak brightness hits 1300 nits, which means you’ll be just fine reading messages in broad daylight. And paired with stereo speakers tuned by JBL, you’re getting a multimedia experience that easily competes with phones twice the price.
Cameras
Now this is where things get interesting. The Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus doesn’t just throw in cameras for the sake of numbers. It packs:
- A 50MP main sensor (Sony IMX 896)
- A second 50MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom
- An 8MP ultrawide
This is Infinix’s first go at a periscope-style zoom lens, and for a debut, it’s surprisingly capable. We took it out to an event and got some crisp, punchy shots even when zooming in. The main camera does a stellar job in daylight, and low-light shots came out better than expected thanks to optical image stabilization (OIS).
The ultrawide is a bit softer but still useful for landscapes or group shots. Video-wise, you’re getting 4K at 60fps on the rear cams and 4K at 30fps from the 32MP selfie cam. Stabilization helps a lot when you’re on the move.
Performance
Under the hood, the Note 50 Pro Plus is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate 4nm chip that really holds its own. Paired with 12GB of RAM and fast UFS 4.0 storage, multitasking feels snappy and responsive.
Benchmark scores? Pretty respectable:
- AnTuTu v10: 1,369,368
- Geekbench 6: 3965
- 3DMark Wild Life Extreme: 2905
In real use, Call of Duty Mobile ran smoothly on high settings. Even Genshin Impactusually a phone melter held steady for an hour before any noticeable warmth. That’s a win in our books.
Battery & Charging
The Note 50 Pro Plus comes with a 5200mAh battery. With moderate use, we easily got through a full day. In video playback tests, it clocked around 16 hours, not the best, but very decent.
Charging is where it shines. You get:
- 100W wired (0 to full in just over 30 minutes)
- 50W wireless Mag Charge
- Reverse charging: 10W wired, 7.5W wireless
- Bypass charging for gaming while plugged in
For a mid-range device, that kind of wireless speed is rare.
Features & Extras
Software-wise, it runs Android 15 out of the box with XOS 15 layered on top. Infinix promises two major Android upgrades which is good enough for most users in this price range.
There’s no headphone jack, but you do get high-res audio support (both wired and wireless), stereo speakers, an under-display fingerprint reader, and a suite of sensors including heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring. You even get an IR blaster and FM radio, which many brands have long forgotten.
Price & Verdict: Worth It?
At around €350, the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus sits in an extremely competitive category. But with features like:
- A periscope camera
- Ultra-fast charging (wired and wireless)
- AMOLED 144Hz display
- Dimensity 8350 with UFS 4.0 storage
- Flagship-style design
…it’s punching far above its weight. There are still areas to polish like slightly better battery optimization or image processing in complex lighting but Infinix clearly means business.
If you’re after a mid-range phone that feels anything but mid, the Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus should be on your shortlist.
