Infinix has introduced a groundbreaking smartphone, the Infinix Note Edge, featuring a curved OLED display and a massive 6500mAh battery, all packed into a slim, 7.2mm thick body. This device stands out for its ability to incorporate a large battery without sacrificing the slim profile typically found in more compact phones. With this innovative design, the Note Edge pushes boundaries in battery capacity, performance, and durability, setting a new standard for mid-range smartphones.
Key Features of the Infinix Note Edge:
6500mAh Battery in a Slim Design
One of the standout features of the Infinix Note Edge is its remarkable 6500mAh battery. Despite the large capacity, the phone remains slim and weighs just 185 grams. Infinix claims the battery will support 26 hours of continuous Google Maps navigation and 22 hours of YouTube playback.
Fast Charging and Self-Repairing Technology
The Note Edge supports 45W “Hyper Mode” fast charging, allowing it to reach 50% charge in just 27 minutes and fully charge in 62 minutes. Additionally, it comes with self-repairing battery technology, which activates a low-current process to heal micro-cracks in the battery cells, potentially extending the battery’s lifespan to maintain over 80% capacity after 2,000 charge cycles (approximately six years).
MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Processor
The Infinix Note Edge is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chip, making it the first smartphone globally to feature this processor. The device performs exceptionally well, scoring over 810,000 points on AnTuTu V11 and handling games like Honor of Kings at 90fps. This chipset also comes with 13 5G optimizations, offering faster video streaming in crowded environments and improving call success rates in areas with high interference.
Stunning 1.5K Curved OLED Display
The Note Edge features a 1.5K resolution curved OLED display, with minimal bezels and a peak brightness of 4500 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, adding durability to the device’s sleek design.
Advanced Camera System
The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with a large 1/2-inch sensor size. Infinix has introduced a Live Photo mode, allowing users to capture 3-second video clips with audio, giving them the option to select the sharpest frame for photos. These clips can be exported as GIFs or MP4 videos.
XOS 16 and AI Features
The Infinix Note Edge runs XOS 16 based on Android 16, with up to 8GB of RAM (expandable to 16GB through software). The phone also includes an AI assistant called Folax, which can analyze on-screen content and provide real-time translations, summaries, or quick answers.
Durability and Design
The device comes with IP65 water and dust resistance, ensuring durability. It is available in four color options: Lunar Titanium, Silk Green, Stellar Blue, and Shadow Black, with the Silk Green version featuring a leather-like texture. The other colors use composite materials with a cat’s-eye gem effect, changing appearance depending on the light and viewing angle.
