Infinix Note 50s 5G+ Set to Shake Up Budget Camera Phones in India
Infinix has been quietly building a name for itself in the budget smartphone scene over the past few years, but with the upcoming launch of the Infinix Note 50s 5G+, the brand is ready to turn up the volume. Slated for launch in India on April 18, 2025, the Note 50s 5G+ is already making waves ahead of its release — particularly for what it brings in terms of camera capabilities.
And no, this isn’t another one of those “50MP sensors that just look good on paper.” Infinix seems to be stepping into new territory — not just chasing megapixels, but truly focusing on user experience, photography versatility, and AIpowered enhancements.
Let’s break down everything we know so far, and what it could mean for India’s fiercely competitive smartphone market.
The Star of the Show: The 50MP AI Camera
At the core of the Infinix Note 50s 5G+ lies a 50megapixel AIpowered primary rear camera, confirmed by the brand itself. It’s paired with a secondary sensor, which sources hint might be a depth sensor or a macro lens. While the additional lens isn’t yet official, what we do know is that Infinix is aiming to provide more than just big numbers.
What’s impressive is the emphasis on software, where Infinix is integrating smart scene recognition, dynamic HDR processing, and AI portrait optimization. This means the camera can intelligently detect whether you’re shooting a landscape, a closeup, or a lowlight scene, and adjust settings on the fly for the best results.
So whether you’re capturing sunsets, pets, or your plate of biryani, the camera is set up to enhance lighting, balance contrast, and make the final image pop — without needing editing apps.
Selfies That Speak for Themselves
Flip the phone around, and you’re greeted with a 16MP AI selfie camera, placed neatly within a punchhole cutout. It’s not just about clarity — this camera is designed with social media users in mind.
With beauty filters, AI skin tone correction, background blur, and auto lighting enhancements, it sounds like Infinix wants you to look your best — whether you’re in bright daylight or sitting in a dim café. Add to that realtime AR filters and a frontfacing portrait mode, and the front camera could easily become a daily favorite for selfie lovers, content creators, or just anyone who enjoys video calling.
Video Features: Going Beyond Basics
Where a lot of budget phones still fall short is video. But Infinix is packing in a surprisingly solid set of video tools. The rear camera supports Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which reduces shake while filming — something that’s been sorely missing in this price segment.
Expect 1080p video recording with smooth frame rates, plus cool features like dual video recording, which lets you film with both front and back cameras at once — perfect for reactions, vlogging, or travel diaries. Timelapse, slow motion, and live filters are all part of the camera app as well.
A CameraCentric Design Refresh
What’s a great camera without a stylish frame to back it up?
The Note 50s 5G+ introduces a square camera island, giving it a more premium and structured look compared to the vertical stacks we’re used to seeing in this segment. It feels intentional — not just another cheap rectangle tacked onto a plastic back.
Infinix is also experimenting with textures. One variant, known as the Marine version, is designed with a vegan leather back and a surprisingly unique feature: Energizing ScentTech. Yep, the phone emits a subtle fragrance using microencapsulation tech — something we’ve truly never seen before in a smartphone.
It may sound gimmicky, but in a world of slablike glass rectangles, it’s refreshing to see a brand taking chances with both look and feel.
Performance and Everyday Use
Under the hood, the phone will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset, which offers efficient 5G performance without draining your battery dry. While it won’t compete with flagship processors, it’s more than capable of handling daily multitasking, casual gaming, and even light video editing.
Paired with up to 12GB of RAM (including virtual RAM) and 256GB of storage, the Note 50s 5G+ is expected to offer a smooth user experience, with apps loading quickly and games running without major hiccups.
The phone will run on XOS 15, Infinix’s custom UI built on top of Android 15. The interface is cleaner, more customizable, and includes a host of AI tricks — like text summarizers, smart call translators, and even AI image generation from sketches.
Battery and Charging That Keep You Going
When it comes to battery, Infinix isn’t holding back. The 5,500mAh SolidCore battery is more than enough to last a full day, even for power users. Whether you’re scrolling, streaming, snapping photos, or gaming, you won’t need to hunt for a charger by 5 PM.
But when you do need to recharge, 45W fast charging is there to help. A full charge in under an hour is the goal here — and with 10W reverse wired charging, you can even top up your friend’s phone or Bluetooth earbuds on the go.
Other Cool Addons That Deserve Attention
Active Halo Lighting: This smart ring light around the camera responds to notifications, charging status, and even music — giving the phone a more interactive and lively feel.
Stereo Speakers with DTS Sound: Great for Netflix binges or YouTube watching, the dual speakers bring a punchier audio experience.
Militarygrade durability: Yes, the Note 50s 5G+ comes with MILSTD810H certification, meaning it’s built to withstand a bit of rough handling, temperature swings, and drops.
Fingerprint scanner and face unlock: Quick and secure — no surprises here, but good to have both options available.
Expected Price and Availability
So what’s all this going to cost?
While official pricing will be announced at launch, early reports suggest that the Infinix Note 50s 5G+ will be priced around ₹19,999. That puts it right in the sweet spot for midbudget users — competing directly with phones from Redmi, Realme, and Samsung’s M series.
The device will be available on Flipkart and Infinix’s own website, likely with a couple of launch offers and bank discounts to sweeten the deal.
Final Thoughts: A New Chapter for Infinix?
With the Note 50s 5G+, Infinix seems to be maturing. This isn’t just another phone thrown into the market to fill a price gap. Instead, it feels like a wellthoughtout product built around what users actually want: a reliable camera, strong battery, stylish design, and a fluid software experience.
Of course, the final verdict will depend on realworld performance, especially how the camera holds up under different conditions. But based on what’s been confirmed so far, it’s safe to say Infinix is aiming to punch above its weight — and possibly shift the expectations for what a sub₹20,000 phone can do.
So, is the Note 50s 5G+ just another budget phone?
Definitely not.
It could very well be the start of Infinix’s next big move in India.
