Performance Specifications
Both devices in the Note 50 series are powered by MediaTek's Helio G100 chipset. While this processor limits the phones to LTE connectivity without 5G support, this aligns with Indonesia's current telecommunications infrastructure, which is still in the early stages of 5G deployment. The devices run on XOS 15, Infinix's custom interface based on Android 15, providing users with the latest software experience.
Camera Capabilities
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) available on both models. The standard Note 50 complements this with a 2MP depth sensor and a light sensitivity sensor, while the Note 50 Pro offers a more versatile setup with an 8MP ultrawide camera and a flicker sensor. For selfies, the Note 50 comes with a 13MP front camera, while the Pro variant upgrades to a 32MP front-facing shooter for higher quality self-portraits.
Battery and Charging Innovation
A significant improvement in the Note 50 series is the larger 5,200 mAh battery, designed to provide extended usage time between charges. Both models support magnetic charging similar to Apple's MagSafe technology, offering wireless charging at up to 10W. The charging capabilities differ between the two variants, with the standard Note 50 supporting 45W wired charging, while the Pro model pushes this further with impressive 90W fast charging support.
Additional Features
The Note 50 series includes several modern conveniences such as an under-display fingerprint scanner for secure authentication, FM radio functionality, and NFC capabilities for contactless payments and quick device pairing. These features, combined with the latest Android operating system, provide a well-rounded user experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Infinix Note 50 is available in Green, Red, Gray, and Gold color options, with pricing in Indonesia starting at IDR 2,699,000 (approximately USD $165) for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. The Note 50 Pro comes in Purple, Gold, Gray, and Silver colorways, with a starting price of IDR 2,999,000 (approximately USD $182) for the same memory configuration. The competitive pricing positions these devices as attractive options in the mid-range smartphone segment.
