What we don't like about Infinix Note 40X 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Performance is considered average compared to competitors in the same price segment, with some users experiencing occasional lag during heavy use
  • Slow 18W fast charging compared to other phones in its class
  • Camera performance receives mixed feedback, with subpar macro results and unimpressive low-light performance
  • No guaranteed major Android OS updates, only security updates have been promised
  • Pre-installed bloatware (though it can be uninstalled)
  • Phone can get hot and the battery may drain quickly for some users
  • Connectivity problems and issues with the phone getting locked when traveling abroad and using a new network's SIM card
  • Display could be brighter and is an IPS LCD panel instead of the AMOLED found on some competing models

Verdict

The Infinix Note 40X 5G (12GB + 256GB) is a budget-friendly 5G smartphone running Android 14, featuring a 6.78-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an interactive "Dynamic Port". Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G processor and a substantial 12GB of RAM (expandable via virtual RAM) and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable via microSD), it offers smooth performance for daily tasks and casual gaming. A key selling point is its versatile 108MP AI triple rear camera system with a Quad-LED flash and a reliable 5000mAh battery, along with dual speakers tuned by DTS for an immersive audio experience. The main drawbacks include a slower-than-average 18W fast charging speed compared to some competitors, the use of an LCD instead of an AMOLED display, a basic 8MP front camera, and an uncertain policy on future major Android OS updates.
