Key upgrades from the Infinix Note 50 Series
The Infinix Note 50 series, which debuted in mid-2025, was already a solid contender in the mid-range segment with models like the Note 50 4G and Note 50 Pro emphasizing balanced performance and media capabilities. However, the Note Edge represents a significant evolution, addressing user feedback and incorporating advancements to stay competitive in 2026’s fast-paced market. Here’s a breakdown of the major upgrades:
- Battery Life and Charging: One of the most notable improvements is the battery capacity. The Note Edge boasts a 6500mAh battery, a substantial jump from the 5200mAh in the base Note 50 and even the 5500mAh in variants like the Note 50s 5G. This allows for exceptional all-day usage, often lasting up to two days on moderate use. It supports 45W fast charging and 10W reverse charging, surpassing the Note 50’s 33W charging in efficiency and convenience.
- Display Technology: For the first time in the Note series, the Edge introduces a 3D curved AMOLED display, offering a more immersive viewing experience compared to the flat AMOLED panels on the Note 50 models. While both series feature 6.78-inch screens, the Edge’s 1.5K resolution (1208×2644 pixels) and 120Hz refresh rate provide sharper visuals and smoother scrolling than the FHD+ resolution on the standard Note 50, though some Note 50 Pro variants edge it out with a 144Hz rate. Additional eye-care features and HDR support make it better suited for prolonged media consumption.
- Performance and Connectivity: Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 (octa-core with AnTuTu scores around 584K-750K), the Note Edge delivers superior efficiency and 5G speeds over the Helio G100 Ultimate in the Note 50 4G. It’s a step up in multitasking and gaming, with better thermal management in its ultra-slim 7.2mm body. Compared to the Note 50s 5G’s Dimensity 7300 Ultimate (AnTuTu ~690K), the Edge holds its own but shines in battery optimization.
- Software and Updates: Running on Android 16 with XOS 16, the Note Edge offers a more refined interface with AI features like One-Tap Infinix AI, versus the Android 15-based XOS 15 on the Note 50 series. Infinix promises 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches, ensuring longevity beyond the Note 50’s support cycle.
- Design and Build: The Edge’s premium, gem-cut aesthetics with options like leather-textured finishes and IP65 water resistance set it apart from the more utilitarian design of the Note 50 series. At just 7.2mm thick and 185-190g, it’s slimmer and lighter, enhancing portability without sacrificing durability.
- Camera and Other Features: The 50MP main camera remains consistent, but the Edge introduces modes like Live Photo and improved stabilization, building on the Note 50’s setup (which includes an extra 2MP macro on some models). Stereo speakers (with JBL tuning in select markets) and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor are retained, but the Edge adds innovative touches like an alert light for notifications.
Overall, these upgrades make the Note Edge feel like a premium refresh, focusing on endurance, style, and future-proofing while maintaining the series’ value proposition.
