Infinix Note 50s 5G: A latest entrant has just hit the Indian budget smartphone market and it has already managed to grab eyeballs. Infinix has launched its new budget 5G phone, the Infinix Note 50s 5G in India. Infinix is well known for its devices that pack powerful features at prices that won’t break the bank, and the brand looks to continue the tradition with its latest offering, combining next-gen connectivity and a bevy of premium specifications to shake up the sub-₹15,000 segment.

Haymakers of a Design

Infinix Note 50s 5G review: Design The Infinix Note 50s 5G has a sleek design and design it right out of the box. With a glossy finish and gently rounded edges, the phone features a clean, minimalist look. It is available in a few bright shades that appeal to both the traditionalist and trendsetter. The back camera module has a simple rectangular layout following the current design trends, which gives it an expensive look that is mostly only reserved for higher-range devices.

Despite its budget placement, the phone does not feel cheap in the hand. It provides a good grip and a surprisingly thin profile for one-handed operation. Its side-mounted fingerprint sensor is integrated into the power button for fast access and more security.

Display: Large, Brilliant, and Seamless

Being one of the few brands to bring 120Hz refresh rate in this price segment, the Infinix Note 50s 5G has a 6.78-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display. The high refresh rate makes scrolling feel buttery smooth, whether you’re browsing, watching videos, or gaming, and touch input also feels snappy. It delivers vibrant colors and crisp display that are great to use indoors and even under bright sunlight.

And, sure, AMOLED aficionados might lust after deeper blacks and a bit more contrast, but the LCD panel on the Note 50s 5G certainly ain’t no slouch. Its covered in Panda Glass for added durability — a smart touch for everyday bumps and drops.

Powering the Experience

Infinix Note 50s 5G has the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chipset under the hood, enabling it to perform very well in terms of 5G technology while still being very efficient overall. Coupled with up to 8GB of RAM (and an extra 8GB of virtual RAM) and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, multitasking, casual gaming and regular day-to-day use is handled with ease by the phone.

As for the software, this has XOS 13 on top of Android 13 but is a relatively clean experience. You’ll find some pre-installed apps, but most can be either uninstalled or disabled. Like other brands, Infinix has also promised regular updates and security patches across its budget line-up, which is a positive commitment.

Camera: Capable and Versatile

On the back, the dual-camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor is backed up by a 2MP depth sensor, which will be delightful for photography enthusiasts. The camera does well in good lighting conditions, with sharp and lively photos. AI-backed night mode helps brighten insert low-light shots without introducing too much noise so the low-light performance is satisfactory.

Selfies, video calls are handled reasonably well by the 8MP front camera. It also includes AI beautification and portrait modes, which tends to be hit-or-miss depending on the light involved. It’s not a camera-first phone though and the Note 50s 5G gets the job done in imaging for casual users.

Battery Life That Keeps Up

Another standout feature of the Infinix Note 50s 5G is its 5,000mAh battery, which effortlessly lasts a full day, even with moderate to heavy usage. Whether it’s browsing or gaming or video streaming and social media, the phone holds its own across a range of tasks. It also supports 18W fast charging over USB Type-C, not the fastest thing on the market, but an uncomplicated tool for give your phone a quick top-up through a day.

5G on a Budget

However, what the Note 50s have that really sets them apart is 5G. It is also future-ready with support for multiple 5G bands as India continues to expand its 5G infrastructure. This is one of the cheapest 5G smartphones available in the market and it helps bring high-speed connectivity to more hands.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for the Infinix Note 50s 5G starts at ₹12,999 for the base variant. You can get it from Flipkart and some retails across India. Throw in the launch offers and bank discounts, and buyers get it for lower, making the new Kia EV6 impossible to overlook in its segment.

Indulging in 5G overkill doesn’t come cheap, but Infinix Note 50s 5G is a game changer for affordable 5G users. Coming with a high refresh rate display, decent cameras, long-lasting battery life, and a premium design — it does all this at a competitive price point. Not perfect but amazing value for money, and that’s exactly what consumers in budget-oriented and price-sensitive India are looking for in 2025.
