Overview

Designed for today’s tech-savvy users who demand top-notch performance and cutting-edge features, the Infinix Note 40 Pro+ – in my eyes – is a game-changer. It’s a phone that delivers on all fronts, from its stunning display to its high-speed charging capabilities, making it a compelling choice for anyone in the market for a new smartphone.

Impressive Display

The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ boasts a remarkable 6.78-inch FHD+ curved AMOLED screen. With a refresh rate of 120Hz, it delivers crystal clear visuals that are smooth and pleasing to the eye. The display is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, ensuring durability and resistance to damage. With a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits, the phone remains readable even in direct sunlight. The display does not have HDR, but overall, it is very high quality and can handle a wide range of multimedia content.

For those who enjoy using their smartphones outdoors, the Infinix Note 40 Pro’s display is a standout feature. Smooth and responsive performance is thus assured with a refresh rate far higher than the rest, making it ideal for watching videos, playing games, and even perusing through the web.

This ensures that the display will still be readable even outside in bright conditions, hence making the overall viewing experience the best.

Powerful Performance

Under the hood, the Note 40 Pro+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 5G processor. This octa-core chipset delivers optimal performance and power efficiency, ensuring a seamless user experience. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or multitasking, the Infinix Note 40 Pro+ is built to handle it all with ease. The switching of apps will be flawless to ensure that users have smooth and responsive multitasking. For this, the smartphone will feature 8GB of RAM.

PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile are two of the most successful games currently played by the Infinix Note 40 Pro, making gaming a breeze. The highest level of settings necessary to support such games that are heavy on graphics will not be provided by the VC liquid cooling system. Doing so will eliminate overheating and therefore continuous, unbridled gaming for the gamers.

X-Boost lets you boost your phone’s performance while gaming, and Bypass Charging prevents your phone from getting too hot while playing games.

Fast Charging Capabilities

One of the standout features of the Note 40 Pro+ is its All-Round FastCharge 2.0 technology, powered by Infinix’s first self-developed Cheetah X1 chip.  This innovative feature allows the phone to charge incredibly fast, reaching 50% battery level in just 8 minutes when using the 100W Multi-Speed FastCharge mode. This means less time waiting for your phone to charge and more time enjoying its features.

Reverse charging allows sharing power with other devices wired or wirelessly at speeds up to 10W. PD3.0 protocol support enables charging laptops with the phone’s charger.

The phone also supports 20W Wireless MagCharge, offering users a convenient, cable-free charging solution. This is a rare feature in smartphones at this price point, further setting the Infinix Note 40 Pro+ apart from its competitors. For wired charging, the in-box 70W Fast Charger guarantees full charging in only 46 minutes. By charging the device for a brief period, it ensures that users can swiftly recharge the battery of the device when necessary, thereby minimizing downtime in staying connected.

The Infinix Note 40 Pro reverse wireless charging offers the power to use your phone as a power bank, thus wirelessly charging any other compatible gadgets and accessories. It’s an incredible option for people who are always on the move because the device provides more functionality.

With the 20W magnetic wireless fast charge pad, you will be able to charge your device more easily. It charges for a longer time than it does when charging with a wire. However, the flexibility and convenience that the wireless charging option provides to the user, who would wish to charge without being bound by any connecting cable, is presented.

High-Quality Camera

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 108MP rear camera on the Infinix Note 40 Pro+. With optical image stabilization (OIS) and a variety of AI enhancements, this camera is capable of capturing stunning, high-quality photos in any setting.

The camera has a cool feature called sky swap. You can change the sky in your photo to make it look more interesting and creative. The macro camera doesn’t have as much detail as the primary shooter, but it can do close-up photography. The front camera can record videos at 2k with 30 frames per second. This gives the user smooth and good quality videos. The rear 108MP also records in 2K at 30 frames per second, which is good quality.

Other Noteworthy Features

The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ packs several other impressive features. It comes with dual speakers tuned by JBL, delivering rich and immersive audio. It’s also dust and splash-resistant, with an IP53 rating for added durability.

Moreover, the Note 40 Pro+ provides a secure and convenient user experience with its in-display fingerprint sensor and IR sensor. It also supports dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS/ GLONASS/ Beidou, USB Type-C, and NFC, providing a wide range of connectivity options.

Software and Updates

The phone runs Android 14 on an XOS 14 version, which gives it a user-friendly interface. The long-term support and compatibility with the most recent software features and security enhancements will be ensured by this, as it will be receiving major Android OS updates for two years and security updates for 36 months. The XOS skin has been redesigned, throwing off bloatware and improving performance. Furthermore, it includes an AI wallpaper generator, which puts its users in a position to set personal wallpapers without the unnecessary glitches. A pretty convenient user experience is provided by the AI, which never irritates with an ad.

Another advantage added is the IR blaster function, which gives a user control of home appliances that bear infrared receivers, as those of a TV or an air conditioner. This provides much convenience and adaptation of operation for the device.  As we mentioned earlier, Infinix has promised two major Android version updates and three years of security updates, ensuring that your phone stays up-to-date and secure.

Pricing and Availability

The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ costs approximately USD 309 (approx. Rs. 25,620). It’s available in Vintage Green, Obsidian Black, and Titan Gold color-ways. The phone is available globally since March 19th, so it should be available in most markets by the time you’re reading this review.

Conclusion

The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ is a feature-rich smartphone that offers exceptional value for money. Its combination of a powerful processor, impressive display, fast charging capabilities, high-quality camera, and a host of other features make it a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market. They’re setting the user up from the 70W fast charger to the 20W magnetic wireless fast charge pad to make sure he gets a device that is convenient for him and in working condition.

It’s also very interesting due to the good build quality, excellent display, and very smooth operation of a smartphone, giving an all-rounder device suitable for almost all daily usages. Other than these, it has dual-stereo speakers and a commendable battery life, which adds to the smartphone’s value proposition.

The Infinix Note 40 Pro does have everything going well for it, but the camera system might need a little more improvement when it comes to pictures made in poor light.

Anyone looking for a highly capable, feature-rich and most importantly, reliable smartphone should consider the Infinix Note 40 Pro. It provides decent user experience with beefy battery life, fast charge capability, and multipurpose usability. Sure, it does have its shortcomings, but considering the holistic value that it would deliver, the smartphone is something definitely to look into for those who would want an affordable yet capable mobile device.
