Positioning in the Lineup
The Note 40X appears to be a budget-friendly option within the Note 40 series. While it boasts a higher-resolution main camera and potentially better performance with the Dimensity 6300 chip compared to the base Note 40 model, it makes some compromises:
- LCD instead of AMOLED display
- Slower 18W charging (compared to 45W+ on other models)
- Reduced camera versatility (no ultrawide lens)

Design and Features
The device features a flat frame design with a square camera module on the rear. It will be available in three colors: Starlit Black, Lime Green, and Palm Blue. The Note 40X incorporates a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and includes Infinix's Dynamic Port feature, which mimics Apple's Dynamic Island for displaying notifications and status updates.
Pricing and Availability
In Malaysia, the Infinix Note 40X is priced at RM869 (approximately $185 USD) for the 12GB/256GB configuration. This positions it as an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers looking for a high-resolution camera and 5G capabilities.
Our Take
The Infinix Note 40X presents an interesting value proposition, particularly with its 108MP camera and 5G support at this price point. However, the slower charging speed and LCD display may be drawbacks for some users. Its success will likely depend on how it performs in real-world usage and how it's priced in other markets like India.
