The Infinix Note 40x is the 5G entry point of the Note 40 family. It packs a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen at 120Hz, the Dimensity 6300 chip with 5G, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, a 108MP camera and a 5,000mAh battery into the cheapest route to 5G this family offers. Announced on 5 August 2024 and released four days later, it is a 2024 phone, and in 2026 it is mostly a used or imported buy in Pakistan. The prices below reflect what a Pakistani retailer lists today — Rs. 51,999 for the 8GB variant and Rs. 67,999 for the 12GB variant — not a launch price.
Design and Display
The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen runs at 120Hz and shows 1080×2460, which works out to about 396 pixels per inch. It is a good panel for video and scrolling, but its 500 nits of brightness is the weak point: it is dimmer than the 1300 nits on the Note 40s and the Note 40 Pro Plus, and that shows in direct sunlight, which is the test that actually matters in a Pakistani summer. The body carries an IP52 rating, so it handles dust and splashes but not a dunk in water. At 201g it is the heaviest phone in this batch, and you feel it after a long call. Infinix states no build materials and no display protection for this phone, so neither is claimed here.
Performance
The Dimensity 6300 is a budget 5G chip, and that is the point of this phone: it is the cheapest way into 5G in the Note 40 family. With 8GB or 12GB of RAM, daily use is smooth — calls, WhatsApp, YouTube and light games all run fine. It is still a 2024 budget chip, though, and it warms up under sustained load, so heavy gaming is not its strength. The 12GB variant is worth it only if you find it close to the 8GB price — at the listed Rs. 16,000 gap, it is not.
Camera
- Main: 108MP, f/1.8, wide with PDAF — the camera that does the real work, sharp in daylight and fair after dark for the price.
- Macro: 2MP — a close-up sensor that adds little beyond the occasional fun shot.
- Third sensor: 2MP — an extra that contributes nothing you can count on.
- Selfie: 8MP, wide — the weakest selfie camera in this batch, fine for video calls but soft on detail.
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, and the size of the battery is the reason this phone still makes sense — not the charging speed. Wired charging runs at just 18W and reaches 50% in 31 minutes, which is the slowest charging in this batch. There is no wireless charging here at all. On a used unit the battery health is the real question, so check the percentage before paying — a tired battery on a slow-charging phone is a bad combination.
Software
The phone launched on Android 14 with XOS 14. Infinix states no update promise for this phone, so do not buy it expecting long software support — buy it for what it runs today. 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. 51,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant and Rs. 67,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant, from the zmobiles.pk variant lines. These are used-market prices for a 2024 phone. The Bangladesh expected price of ৳20,000 converts to about Rs. 44,999, but that is a launch-era expectation from August 2024 — it is well below what the phone sells for in Pakistan today, so it is not used here. The phone is now mostly bought used or as an import, and PTA status has to be checked per unit via DIRBS.
8GB + 256GB — Expected: Rs. 51,999
12GB + 256GB — Expected: Rs. 67,999 (zmobiles.pk lists Rs. 67,000)
| Model | Infinix Note 40x |
| Price | PKR. 51,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.78″ AMOLED 1080×2460 pixels |
| RAM | 8 GB / 12 GB |
| ROM | 256 GB |
| Released | 9 August 2024 |
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the exact model number — X6838 — 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, and this one charges slowly.
- Buy from a seller who offers a checking warranty, and test the 5G connection, the fingerprint sensor and the speakers in the shop.
- Confirm whether the seller’s warranty is official or shop-only — a 2024 phone rarely carries an official warranty.
Final Verdict: The cheapest 5G way into the Note 40 family — buy only the 8GB variant
The Note 40x makes sense for one buyer: someone who wants 5G, a big 120Hz AMOLED screen and a 5,000mAh battery for as little money as possible. The 8GB variant at Rs. 51,999 is the one to buy — the 12GB variant at Rs. 67,999 costs too much for what it adds. Check the IMEI on DIRBS and the battery health before paying, and if 5G does not matter to you, the Note 40s gives you a brighter screen and wireless charging for less.
