The $300 Infinix Note 40 Pro+ has a premium persona and does something with charging that no other Android phone does.
Infinix is an underdog phone brand that’s slowly gaining momentum in developing nations. It offers a variety of low-spec and midrange phones with premium designs and features at astoundingly low prices. That continues with the newest midrange series, the Infinix Note 40, which packs some unusual perks, most notably frictionless charging.
Let’s talk wired charging first The Infinix Note 40 Pro+ supports wired charging at up to 100W via a charger included in the box. The high charging rate is certainly appealing for a $300 phone, but not unique. It is especially not a significant feat for Infinix, which has already achieved insanely fast wired charging speeds — 260W, to be exact — on a prototype, as well as 180W on a commercially available phone.
To reduce the impact that fast charging has on the battery’s health, Infinix adds a “Smart” mode, which manipulates charging speeds intelligently to maintain a uniform flow of charge into the battery at a nearly steady voltage. This reduces the impact on the battery life with some manageable decreases in the charging speeds.
The X1 chip has two main modules. The first one ensures the most optimal charging speeds are delivered for different wired or wireless charging scenarios while temperatures are kept under control. The second one ensures that charging is done safely. These measures apply both when using the charger included in the box and using third-party chargers.
In comparison, Infinix’s Note 40 phones charge wirelessly off a slender and sleek puck. You can casually throw it in your pocket or backpack without worrying about the weight it will add. The company has chosen a magnetically attaching mechanism for the puck that’s identical to Apple’s MagSafe, and the accessory’s official name, “MagPad,” further cements its inspiration from Apple.
In addition to the charging pad included with the Note 40 Pro+, Infinix has also announced a 3,000mAh power bank with wired and wireless charging capabilities. The thin and light power bank attaches seamlessly to the phone without adding bulk or obstructing usability. What about real-world testing? To evaluate the Note 40 Pro+’s charging prowess, I ran a series of tests and found actual performance befitting Infinix’s claims. When charging in the wired Hyper mode, the phone’s battery went from 5% to 45% in the first 10 minutes and charged completely in less than 35 minutes. In the Smart mode, the charging speed was slower at 55 minutes for the phone to charge fully.
