Infinix has cooked up something new in its
Note lineup, and that’s the Infin Note
Edge 5G. Based on its looks alone, the
naming scheme wouldn’t make sense at
first, but taking a closer look at what
this phone can do, you’ll realize it
really does the edge, especially on
things that really matter in day-to-day
use. It boasts that nice 3D curve 1.5K
display, the new MediaTek Dimensity 7100
5G chipset, and a large 6,500 mAh
battery, all packed in an ultras slim
frame. As a Gen Z myself, I’m pretty
sure this is the kind of phone that can
keep up with every Gen Z user’s need.
From daily commutes to entertainment and
gaming, the Infin Note Edge has you
covered. That said, we have listed five
of our most favorite features so far to
give you a better idea on how the phone
performs in real life. I’m your host,
Earl, and drop that intro.
Before we get to the bits, let’s all
first appreciate how this phone looks.
Design-wise, I must say this thing slap.
This unit in particular comes in a silk
green color way. And as the name
suggests, it has this silk-like texture,
almost faux leather, giving it a unique
look and feel. You also have more
options with lunar titanium, shadow
black, and stellar blue. Not to mention
the aesthetic here is visually cohesive.
The way how the shamferred edges match
the rounded corners of the camera module
down to the lenses. It’s the consistency
in the design that made me like this
phone. And notice the active halo ring
over here. Aside from adding a bit of
character, it’s also functional since it
dynamically lights up to notification,
calls, and media playback. I also like
how thin the phone is, measuring only
7.2 mm. And despite how slim it is,
Infin still managed to throw in a large
6,500 mAh battery. That said, its build
quality feels solid, especially with the
addition of IP65 rating. Mind you,
that’s flagship leather protection right
there, providing resistances to ingress
of dust and water jets. points for
comfort, too, as it features a curved
edge design from both the front and rear
panels. So, it adds a more comfortable
grip despite the large screen size.
Speaking of the screen, the Note Edge
delivers a superb visual experience. The
phone sports a 6.78 in 3D curve AMOLED
display with 1.5K resolution and a
smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. You can
appreciate the uniform bezels all
around. And as expected of a high
resolution screen, every detail looks
sharp with vivid colors and satisfying
deep black. Users like me who always
watch movies and TV shows on the go are
definitely in for a treat. The screen
peaks up to 4,500 nits for HDR content,
so you won’t have any problems using the
phone outdoors. The JBL Tuning also adds
a bit more of audio fidelity, making the
viewing experience more immersive.
Another thing to appreciate is how
surprisingly capable its camera is.
Well, at least from the rear. The Note
Edge features a 50 megapixel main
shooter and it did pretty good capturing
images with nice clarity, near accurate
colors, and decent dynamic range.
[music]
And are you familiar with live photos?
It’s essentially one of Jenz’s favorite
snaps to take. And I’m happy to report
that the Infinix Note Edge is the first
model in the lineup to have this
feature.
So, that’s one fun way to express
yourself using this phone. You know what
else is new to the Note Edge? It’s
definitely the all new XOS 16. Yep, the
phone ships with the latest version of
Android with Android 16, [music] and it
gets tons new visual updates that look
sleek. In my opinion, Infinix nailed the
inspired look here with a combination of
depth, shadows, gradients, and
glass-like design in certain places.
Perhaps that consistency in physical
design also extends in software, too.
First-p partyy apps like the dialer,
gallery, file manager, and notes app
have similar interfaces that add points
for consistency and software experience.
Not going to lie, it’s quite impressive
how nicely done XOS 16 has recreated
that specific inspired look. Infin is
also making a bold move to extend its
software support. From the usual 2 plus
3 update policy, the brand is now
promising up to three major OS upgrades
and 5 years of security patches for the
Note Edge. In other words, it will get
to as far as XOS 19 or Android 19.
That’s a step in the right direction
that adds confidence to the Note Edge
and its longevity for years to come.
That same confidence also applies to how
long the battery would last. Infin
claims the Note Edge will still retain
more than 80% of battery capacity even
after 2,000 full charge cycles. I won’t
explain the science behind all these,
but essentially Infin deploys some
self-healing technology to significantly
reduce long-term battery degradation, so
the battery stays healthy in the long
run, even after 6 years. So, there’s
that. In terms of battery life, the Note
Edge almost disappointed us. We
mentioned before in our full review that
its battery life was underwhelming, and
now it’s a different story this time
around. After we did some stuff to
optimize the battery and our usage, we
fortunately got better results. In our
second PC Mark battery life test, the
phone lasted almost 16 hours or 15 hours
and 51 minutes to be exact, which is a
more sensible up time for a battery of
this capacity. In real world use, the
phone lasted even longer in our
experience, which included watching
videos on YouTube, scrolling on socials,
and even gaming on the side. Speaking of
gaming, the Note Edge also did a good
job for light and casual gaming at
least. Notably, this phone is the very
first phone powered by the MediaTek
Dimensity 7100 5G chipset, which offers
optimal and efficient performance for
daily use. The phone ran our go-to game,
Mobile Legends, consistently at 90
frames per second with no obvious lags
and dips. And if you’re mostly using
mobile network to play games, then the
Note Edge will not disappoint thanks to
a better 5G performance, which we’ll
talk about next. What’s really
interesting about this phone is it’s
capable to deliver a true 5G experience
that’s on par with a flagship despite
its affordable pricing. It means that
this phone gets stronger 5G signals
anywhere, be it inside malls or
underground areas. Thanks to what
Infinix calls UPS 3.0 AI super signal
technology. We experienced this
firsthand when we tried connecting to
mobile network in our office where we
mainly relied on fiber connection
because the signal reception here sucks.
With the Note Edge 5G connectivity
stayed reliable throughout, which means
that even in a heat of a ranked match in
Mobile Legends, Honor of Kings, or
whatever you’re playing, you can be sure
that your ping won’t dip, especially
during team fights. And those are some
of our most favorite features from the
new Infinix Note Edge. With a starting
price of 12,999 pesos, it feels like the
Note Edge doesn’t try to reinvent what
the mid-range phone should look like. It
just executes the fundamentals really
well. You’re getting a slim, well-th
thought of design, a great display,
dependable battery life, and
surprisingly strong 5G performance, an
extended software support, and the Note
Edge becomes an easy recommendation for
users who care more about day-to-day
reliability than spec sheet flexing.
[music]
It’s not perfect, but for its price, it
does more right than wrong. And that’s
where it earns its edge over the
competition. Again, the Infin Note Edge
starts at 12,999 pesos, and that price
is exclusively available on Tik Tok. You
also get the Infinix XE26 earbuds as a
freebie. It will also go on sale via
Shopee, Lazada, and Infin official
website for 13,999 pesos. Orders here
will include a free Infinix insulated
tumbler instead of the buds. It retails
for 14,999 pesos. Adding to that, you
also have the chance to win concert
tickets to 17, an Infinix GT laptop, or
an international trip to Chongqing for
two packs. Check out the promo mechanics
right here. But what about you? What do
you think of the Infin Note Edge 5G?
Will you get this anytime soon? [music]
