This is the first Infinix Note to wear the Pro+ badge, though the Note 30 VIP was in a comparable position last year. The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ 5G is powered by the Dimensity 7020, a 6nm chip with two Cortex-A78 cores at 2.2GHz and six A55 cores at 2.0GHz. It is paired with up to 12GB of RAM, which can be doubled with virtual RAM.
On the front is a curved AMOLED display
with its sides sloping at 55°. This is a 120Hz 10-bit panel with FHD+
resolution and up to 1,300 nits peak brightness with 2,160Hz high frequency PWM
dimming. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass and Infinix also includes a
tempered glass protector in the box.
The Pro+ is equipped with a triple camera
system that boasts a 108MP main with OIS and up to 3x in-sensor zoom. On the
downside, it can’t record 4K video. The other two modules on board are 2MP
helpers. More interesting is the 32MP selfie camera. Infinix is proud to
present the Cheetah X1, its first in-house power management chip. It handles
both charging and safety duties and can handle up to 100W. The 4,500mAh battery
goes up to 50% in just 12 minutes and is rated to 1,600 cycles. Just 5 minutes
of charging should last 3 hours of gaming or almost 7 hours of video playback.
There is also wireless charging at 20W.
It’s not quite Qi 2, but Infinix did design a magnetic charging system dubbed
“MagKit”. It includes both a wireless charger and a wireless power bank and can
work with or without the case (the case is a special design, however). Reverse
wired and wireless charging is supported too.
For gaming, you might appreciate Bypass
Charging 2.0, which sends power directly to the motherboard (bypassing the
battery), which helps the phone run 4.5°C cooler. The phone also has a large
vapor chamber (3,753mm²) and a graphite sheet, which combined reduce the
chipset’s temperature by 7°C. On the fun side, there are stereo speakers by JBL
that work with the x-axis haptic feedback to provide an immersive experience.
The phone is rated IP53 (splash proof, so
it can handle rain). It comes in two colorways. The Vintage Green option has a
green leatherette back and golden accents (chassis and camera bump). The
Obsidian Black drops the leatherette in favor of a black marble texture.
