Infinix looks set to continue its successful formula of offering premium features at a budget price point with the upcoming Note 40 series smartphones.
Leaks indicate the Infinix Note 40 and Note 40 Pro will likely retain key selling points like long battery life, fast charging, and large displays while making compromises on aspects like the processor and resolution to keep costs down.
Retaining The 5,000mAh Battery and 45W Charging
One of the main appeals of the Note series, specifically the Note 30, has been the large 5,000mAh battery capacity. Early leaks show the Note 40 looks set to retain this, promising multi-day battery life potential to attract battery-conscious buyers searching for “big battery phone” or “smartphone long battery life”.

These leaks also confirm the Note 40 will continue to support 45W fast charging. This enables “rapid charging” and “quick phone charging,” allowing the big battery to be topped up rapidly.
Large, High Refresh Rate Displays
The Note series has also stood out for its big, immersive displays. The Note 40 is tipped to feature a 6.8-inch punch-hole display with a fluid 120Hz refresh rate.
While expected to be IPS LCD rather than AMOLED and FHD+ rather than QHD+, this is an attempt to draw in customers searching for terms like “big screen phone” and “high refresh rate smartphone”.
Familiar Helio G99 Processor
To achieve a more affordable price point, the Note 40 is rumored to recycle the Helio G99 processor used in the Note 30 series.
While not cutting-edge, this MediaTek chip can still handle general usage well. Target buyers will likely prioritize screen, battery, and camera over raw processing power.
Triple Camera Setup
While specific details are unknown, leaks claim the Note 40 will upgrade to a triple rear camera setup. Building on the Note 30’s dual cameras, this caters to search interest in “triple camera phones” and helps differentiate it from its key budget rival, Xiaomi.
Infinix Note 40 Pro Tipped Too
Alongside the vanilla Note 40, leaks indicate a Note 40 Pro is also imminent. This will likely upgrade to fancier aspects like an AMOLED panel, higher 68W charging speeds, and a curved-edge display design.
But core specs like battery, processor, and cameras will potentially stay similar to achieve affordability.
