There are only two things that can still surprise a Nigerian in 2025: stable electricity and a phone that offers more than it costs.

The Infinix Note 50 Pro may not bring light to your street, but it just might lighten up your faith in budget smartphones. 

This is beyond an ordinary mid-range phone, it interestingly comes close to delivering flagship vibes at a danfo-friendly price. Its sleek design, AMOLED display, fast charging, clever AI tools, and camera system that hits above its weight, make it seem like a phone that snuck into the wrong price category.

I spent a full week with the Infinix Note 50 Pro, and here’s my honest take.

Design: Tough, Slim, and Feels Premium

At 7.32mm, the Note 50 Pro is lean, almost suspiciously so for a device with a 5,200mAh battery and a 144Hz AMOLED display. But somehow, it pulls it off. The ArmorAlloy metal frame gives it a sturdy, unbothered elegance. It didn’t once feel fragile in my grip, no creaks, no hot spots, just calm confidence.

There’s a Bio-Active Halo light at the back that pulses when there’s a notification or during health tracking; it’s subtle, almost ghostly. I liked it. It didn’t scream “gaming phone,” and that’s a compliment.

Display: Fast, Fluid, and Bright Enough for Lagos Sun

The 6.78” FHD+ AMOLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate is the kind of thing you brag about at a restaurant, if your friends care about such things. It scrolls smooth, videos pop, and even under harsh sunlight in Ikeja traffic, it holds its own. 

There’s also 2160Hz PWM dimming, which sounds like rocket science but basically means your eyes won’t hate you after doom-scrolling Twitter for hours.

Infinix added an Always-On Display too, which I love—the clock, battery, and notifications stay visible without waking the whole screen. Just know this drains your battery if you leave everything maxed out.

Battery & Charging: The Usain Bolt of Recharging

You don’t just get 90W wired charging, you also get 30W wireless MagCharge. That’s the kind of luxury Infinix phones didn’t used to have. From dead to full took me about 43 minutes wired, and around 90 minutes wirelessly. That’s awesome, and yes, the phone manages heat well during fast charge.

The 5,200mAh battery gave me a full day of heavy usage: streaming, Instagram, voice notes, calls, and random AI tool experiments. You will sleep before it does.

Performance: G100 Ultimate… But is it Really Ultimate?

The MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate sounds like it could fly a drone, but let’s tone it down, this isn’t a flagship chip. It’s very good, though. It powered through tasks, including some mild video editing and intense multitasking. 

Paired with 8GB RAM (expandable to 16GB) and 256GB storage, I never felt shortchanged. Apps opened fast, multitasking didn’t lag, and even games like PUBG ran decently with medium settings.

If you’re a gamer, the X-Axis motor gives you precise haptics, and the Game Mode cleans background apps so you get uninterrupted sessions. The only time it struggled? Rendering 4K video. But that’s not a crime at this price point.

The AI Experience: A Feature-Packed Playground

Infinix went all-in on AI here—One-Tap AI to Folax Voice Assistant, Document Assistant, Translation Assistant, Call Assistant, and even an AI Cutout tool for quick photo edits. 

While not every feature felt essential in daily use, the variety is commendable. The AI Wallpaper Generator was a surprising favourite. It turned a regular shot of my jollof rice into a dreamy landscape. A fun touch that shows real creative potential.

Still, the software occasionally pushed random pop-ups. You can disable most of it, but it’s there.

Cameras: Better Than Expected, Especially at Night

Main cam: 50MP with OIS
Ultra-wide: 8MP
Front cam: 32MP

The photos during daylight are clear, colour-accurate, and social-media-ready with little to no tweaking. The Night Master feature honestly surprised me, photos at 7pm in low-lit areas still looked sharp. OIS (optical image stabilisation) helped a lot with shaky hands, especially during night shots and video recording.

Selfies from the 32MP front camera are detailed, and the portrait blur doesn’t feel like it was drawn on with a crayon.

Video-wise, it does fine up to 2K. Stabilisation is decent. If you’re an aspiring content creator, this won’t hold you back.

Software: XOS 15 — A Love-Hate Relationship

Let’s talk about XOS 15. It’s colourful, loaded with features, and feels responsive. There’s a lot going on:

  • Dynamic Bar (shows notifications like iPhone’s Dynamic Island)
  • Floating Windows for multi-app work
  • Smart Panel, Split-Screen Apps, and even Kids Mode

Security & Sensors: All the Fancy Stuff is Here

You get:

  • In-display fingerprint sensor (fast, reliable)
  • Face unlock (quick, works in low light)
  • NFC (yes, contactless payment!)
  • Infrared blaster (for turning your phone into a remote—classic Infinix move)
  • Emergency SOS features

For a mid-range phone, this is stacked. It also supports all bands from 2G to 5G.

The Bonuses: Too Good Not to Mention

The Infinix Note 50 Pro comes with a Carlcare S-VIP Card, which gives you priority customer service. That actually covers premium servicing perks. And the pre-loaded data promos? Depending on your SIM, you’re set for months.

₦1,000. That’s what it cost me to get 5GB of data on the Infinix Note 50 Pro. The telecom promos alone could make this device a national asset.

Glo gives you up to 18GB, MTN doubles your data, and 9mobile practically throws 120GB at you. But these bonuses are just the welcome party. 

Finally!

The Infinix Note 50 Pro is a spec-loaded device which is genuinely enjoyable to use. Yes, the phone won’t outperform flagship phones in raw speed, but for what it costs, the design is excellent, performance is apt, and the smart tools make it even more lovable—easily one of Infinix’s best mid-range phones till date. 

Would I recommend it? 

Yes. Especially – if you want a reliable daily driver with premium features and zero charging anxiety – go for Infinix Note 50 Pro.
