The standard version of the 2018 Note Series was the Infinix Note 5. With the arrival of the Note 5 series, which follows the Note 4 and Note 4 Pro from last year, Infinix Mobility has been listening to their customers. The Infinix Note 7 and Infinix Note 7 Lite are the most recent additions to the Note series.
The Armani Hotel in Dubai’s Burj Khalif hosted the introduction of the smartphone. The launch of the Infinix Note 5 represents a watershed moment in the Chinese OEM’s smartphone history.
This is due to the addition of new features such as the 18:9 aspect ratio, a lovely glass finish, a huge screen with sharp display, and Google’s Android One.

Design and Display
The parent company of Infinix Mobility, Transsion Holdings, was quick to bring out the Infinix Note 5’s distinct aesthetics.
The smartphone sports a glass finish, which is the current trend for premium smartphones, as well as a very little bezel on the front.
There’s also the intriguing 18:9 aspect ratio, which adds to the smartphone’s elegance.
There is one thing that stands out about the Infinix Note 5’s display, and that is its huge size. Aside from that, it has a crisp color display and wears narrow bezels.
The screen can be up to 6-inch in size and has a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. It’s also quite bright, up to 500 nits, so visibility in the sun shouldn’t be an issue.
Battery and Camera
The Infinix Note 5 does not disappoint in terms of battery life, as it has enough capacity to go through an entire day of use.
The smartphone also has fast charge capabilities, ensuring that your battery will be fully charged in no time. Furthermore, the Infinix Note 5’s 4, 500mAh battery is significantly larger than the industry standard.
The low-light selfie camera is the talk of the camera area, despite the aperture being an arbitrary f/2.0 aperture.
Infinix claims AI-enhanced photographs from the Infinix Note 5’s camera, boosting the quality of images captured by the device. A 12MP sensor is used for the primary camera, while a 16MP camera is placed in front for selfies.
Hardware and Software
Underneath the glitz and glam of the design is some solid technology, courtesy of MediaTek. On the inside, you’ll find an Octa-core MediaTek Hello P23 processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.0GHz doing your bidding.
Surprisingly, you also have a recent Mali-G71 MP2 in charge of graphic-related activities, such as gaming.
The rest of the Infinix Note 5 is made up of 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage space, with a more expensive edition including 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage space.
The Android One program allows for memory card expansion up to 256GB and bloatware-free Android 8.1 Oreo on both devices.
