Infinix Note 50X 8GB RAM

The Infinix Note 50x does take a slight step back in terms of camera hardware compared to the Note 40x, at least on paper. Instead of the 108MP primary sensor, you now get a 50MP AI camera on the back, along with an 8MP front shooter. While numbers may tell a different story, the new 50MP primary camera performs surprisingly well.It captures decent-looking shots with good detail, dynamic range, and clarity. It also handles human subjects well, especially when it comes to skin tone reproduction. There's still room for improvement with facial details, though it's not a dealbreaker in this segment.Low-light performance is about what you'd expect in this price segment, i.e., softer images with some noise. Still, the Note 50x performs better than competitors like the POCO M7 Pro and Vivo T4x in colour accuracy and overall usability in dim lighting.I also tested the Note 50x's cameras side-by-side with the POCO M7 Pro (review) and Vivo T4x (review) to see how it compares.DaylightIn good lighting, the Infinix Note 50x comes across as the more dependable shooter against the Vivo T4x. It opts for a slightly warmer colour profile, while the Vivo's output leans cooler and tends to overexpose the scene to an extent. Occasionally, Note 50x also slightly pops colour, but without ruining the aesthetic appeal. It also has a slight edge in terms of sharpness and detail — textures on surfaces and objects come through more clearly.Compared to the POCO M7 Pro, which also leans towards a punchier, more saturated look similar to the Vivo, the Note 50x shows more even sharpness across the frame. The M7 Pro's clarity is stronger at the centre, but it tends to drop off toward the edges, which is where the Note 50x pulls ahead with better consistency.PortraitIt's not often that smartphones in the segment feature an ultra-wide lens; therefore, we are directly assessing portrait shots with the primary camera. The colour science remains consistent across portrait shots on all three phones. The Vivo T4x and Infinix Note 50x apply a bit of skin smoothing, but the Infinix's shot is a touch sharper.When zoomed in, the T4x introduces some noise, whereas the Note 50x holds on to a cleaner look. It also does a better job with skin tones and overall colour correction, capturing the scene more naturally.The POCO M7 Pro's portrait mode tends to overexpose the background, which can wash out the image and reduce the sense of depth. That said, subject details are more or less on par with the Note 50x. However, Infinix does a better job with edge detection and delivers more accurate skin tones, giving it a slight upper hand.SelfieSelfies follow a similar pattern. Both the Infinix Note 50x and Vivo T4x are neck-and-neck when it comes to detail and skin tone accuracy. The T4x renders a slightly more natural skin tone, but overall, both are competent in daylight.The POCO M7 Pro, however, continues to struggle with exposure. Its selfies often come out a bit too bright, which results in washed-out highlights and overly brightened skin tones. In comparison, the Note 50x delivers a more balanced image and maintains more natural-looking results.Low-light

The new Infinix Note 50x features MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 Ultimate SoC with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Infinix has no compromises in the performance, considering the same processor powers some noteworthy devices in the higher-priced segments, like the OPPO F29 series, Realme P3 Ultra, and more. The Note 50X, combined with Dimensity 7300 Ultra, handles everyday tasks smoothly and even performs heavy multitasking without any stutters. The Vivo T4x, one of the better performance-focused options in this segment, also uses the same Dimensity 7300 chip, but the Note 50x manages to offer it at an even lower price.Gaming performance is equally great. Titles like BGMI and COD: Mobile ran smoothly at medium graphical settings, delivering a consistent and fluid experience. While we couldn't run our usual benchmark tests due to app compatibility issues, judging by in-game performance, it held steady around the fps mark—which is more than respectable for a phone in this range. With lower FPS settings and future OTA updates, you can expect 90 fps gaming capabilities too. 

The Infinix Note 50x runs on XOS 15, based on Android 15, right out of the box. This version of XOS has seen some meaningful improvements, including smoother app animations, a refreshed app drawer, and an updated notification panel. The interface feels noticeably cleaner and more refined now, and Infinix deserves credit for cutting down on the number of pre-installed apps — something that's often a concern with budget phones.SmartphonesSoftware supportPre-installed appsInfinix Note 50x2 OS upgrades + 3 years security48Vivo T4x2 OS upgrades + 3 years security55POCO M7 Pro2 OS upgrades + 4 years security63

The Infinix Note 50x comes with an upgraded 5,500mAh battery and support for 45W fast charging. While 6,000mAh batteries are becoming more common this year, 5,500mAh is still a sizeable capacity and doesn't fall too far behind in terms of real-world usage. In our battery benchmark test, the phone delivered fairly average results when compared to key competitors, but it still comfortably lasts a full day, even with heavy use.A good addition is bypass charging, which routes power directly to the motherboard instead of the battery. This is especially useful while gaming, as it helps reduce heat buildup and contributes to better long-term battery health.SmartphonesBatteryCharging time (20-100%)Infinix Note 50x5,500mAh41 minutes (45W)Vivo T4x6,500mAh67 minutes (44W)POCO M7 Pro5,110mAh53 minutes (45W)
