Verdict

The Infinix Note 40 5G features a 6.78-inch, 120Hz Full HD+ AMOLED display and is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 7020 5G processor, coupled with 12GB of RAM and a generous 512GB of internal storage. A key highlight is its versatile charging system, featuring a 5000mAh battery with 33W wired fast charging and, uniquely for its segment, 15W wireless charging support, including reverse wireless charging. The camera setup boasts a 108MP main sensor (with 3x lossless zoom capability) alongside a 32MP front camera, enhanced by a distinctive AI Active Halo Lighting system on the rear for notifications. Pros include the vibrant display, innovative charging options, clean Android 14 interface, and solid daylight camera performance. However, performance can show some lag with heavy gaming, the secondary 2MP rear cameras are largely inadequate, the outdoor display brightness could be better, and the device lacks an ultrawide lens and OIS on the main camera for non-Pro models.
