Infinix Note 40s

Specification

The Infinix Note 40s is the 4G twin of the Note 40 Pro Plus. It keeps the same 6.78-inch AMOLED screen at 120Hz, the same 108MP camera and the same 20W wireless charging, but swaps the Dimensity 7020 for the Helio G99 Ultimate, with 33W wired charging in place of the Pro Plus’s 100W. Announced in September 2024 and released the following month, it arrived in Pakistan just under fifty thousand rupees — and in 2026 that is still the price it sells around, mostly as a used handset or an import, because Infinix has moved on and retailers list it as discontinued. What follows is the phone as it stands today, at the price Pakistani shops actually ask for it.

Design and Display

The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz and shows 1 billion colours, with 1300 nits of peak brightness that keeps it readable in direct sunlight — the test that actually matters in a Pakistani summer. Resolution is 1080×2436, which works out to about 393 pixels per inch, so text stays sharp at normal viewing distance. Corning Gorilla Glass covers the front, though Infinix never said which version, and the body carries an IP54 rating. That means dust and splashes, not a swim: rain and a spilled cup are fine, a dunk in a pool is not. At 176g and 7.8mm thick it is light for a phone this size, and it slips into a pocket without the drag of the heavier phones in this family.

Performance

The Helio G99 Ultimate is a proven mid-range 4G chip, and with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM it handles daily use without fuss — calls, WhatsApp, YouTube, Chrome with a dozen tabs open, all of it smooth. Games run well at medium settings, and the 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage leaves room for a large photo library and a few heavy games. The honest limit is the chip’s age: it is a 2024 part, and it warms up under sustained load, so long gaming sessions will throttle a little. There is no 5G here, so this is a phone for someone who is happy on 4G — and most Pakistani networks still are, day to day.

Camera

• Main: 108MP, f/1.9, 24mm wide with PDAF — the camera that does the real work, sharp in daylight and decent after dark for the price.
• Macro: 2MP, f/2.4 — a close-up sensor that adds little beyond the occasional fun shot.
• Third sensor: Infinix lists a third rear sensor without saying what it is, so do not buy the phone for it — it contributes nothing you can count on.
• Selfie: 32MP, f/2.2 — a genuine step up from the 8MP selfie cameras on the Hot 50 family, and it shows in video calls and portraits.

Video tops out at 1440p at 30fps, with 1080p at 30 or 60fps for everyday clips. The front camera records at 1080p at 30fps with a dual-LED flash for dark rooms.

Battery and Charging

The 5,000mAh battery gets through a full day of normal use with room to spare, and the charging is the headline of this phone. Wired charging runs at 33W and reaches 50% in 31 minutes, but the real draw is the 20W wireless MagCharge — wireless charging is rare at this price in Pakistan. It also does reverse wired and reverse wireless charging, so it can top up earbuds or a friend’s phone, and bypass charging keeps the battery cool while gaming on the cable. The honest weakness is the wired speed: 33W is slow next to the 100W on the Note 40 Pro Plus, and a full charge takes well over an hour.

Software

The phone launched on Android 14 with XOS 14, and Infinix promises up to two major Android upgrades. That is decent for the brand, but buy the phone for what it runs today, not for long software support — a 2024 Infinix is not a long-term update story. XOS is heavier than stock Android, with extra apps and its own look, and it takes a bit of time to strip back to the way you want it.

Price in Pakistan

The expected price in Pakistan is Rs. 49,999 for the single 8GB + 256GB variant. That figure comes from zmobiles.pk, which lists the phone at Rs. 49,999 and notes that it is discontinued. The Bangladesh official price of ৳26,999 converts to about Rs. 60,999, but that is a launch-era figure from October 2024 — it is not what the phone sells for in Pakistan today, so it is not used here. The phone is discontinued, so most units on sale now are used handsets or imports, and the price reflects what Pakistani retailers list today.

8GB + 256GB — Expected: Rs. 49,999 (zmobiles.pk lists Rs. 49,999; the MD Official price converts to Rs. 60,999 — a launch-era figure, not used)

Buying in Pakistan

• Check the exact model number — X6850B — and the IMEI on DIRBS before paying. PTA status varies from unit to unit, and a non-PTA phone will stop working on local networks after the grace period.
• On a used unit, check the battery health percentage before paying — a tired battery is the most common problem on a phone of this age.
• Buy from a seller who offers a checking warranty, and test the wireless charging, the fingerprint sensor and the speakers in the shop.
• NFC is market and region dependent, so confirm it works on the exact unit being bought.
• Confirm whether the seller’s warranty is official or shop-only — a discontinued phone rarely carries an official warranty.

Final Verdict: A 120Hz AMOLED screen and wireless charging for under fifty thousand

The Note 40s makes sense for one buyer in particular: someone who wants a big, bright 120Hz AMOLED screen, a 108MP camera and wireless charging, and does not care about 5G. At Rs. 49,999 it undercuts most of the phones that offer wireless charging at all, and the 32MP front camera is a real bonus. Buy it as a used or imported unit with the IMEI checked on DIRBS first — and if you want faster wired charging or a longer software life, look at the Note 40 Pro Plus or the newer Note 50 instead.
