Last year, Infinix introduced the Infinix Note 30 VIP Racing Edition, a unique take on the Infinix Note 30 Series developed in collaboration with BMW Designworks. The phone was well-received, featuring a host of impressive features and design elements.
Building on the success of the Note 30 VIP Racing Edition, the company has launched the Infinix Note 40 Series Racing Edition for this year.
Unlike last year, where the Racing Edition Series featured only one device, this year Infinix has expanded the lineup to include two models: the Infinix Note 40 Pro and Infinix Note 40 Pro+.
The new series boasts a striking Formula 1-inspired design, developed in collaboration with BMW Designworks. This F1-inspired aesthetic perfectly complements the Infinix Note 40 Pro and Infinix Note 40 Pro+ Racing Edition, offering a unique and eye-catching look.
The design aims to give an exclusive appearance to the new models, with the goal of attracting motorsport enthusiasts.
Infinix Note 40 Series Racing Edition Specifications
At the heart of both devices is a 6.7-inch Full-HD curved AMOLED display, boasting a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1,080×2,436 pixels. With a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, users can expect vibrant visuals even in bright outdoor conditions.
Powering these devices is the robust MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC, ensuring smooth performance for all your daily tasks and more demanding applications.

Two additional 2MP sensors complement the primary camera, allowing for depth perception and macro photography. For selfies and video calls, a 32MP front-facing camera ensures you always look your best.

Both models in the Infinix Note 40 Pro series Racing Edition support 5G connectivity, keeping you future-proofed for the next generation of mobile networks.
NFC capability is also included for convenient contactless payments and data transfer. For security, an under-display fingerprint sensor provides quick and secure authentication.
