Infinix Note 50s 5G+ Review: The Sleek Budget Smartphone Powerhouse That Surprises

Key Highlights

  • MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate
  • 5,500mAh battery with 45W FastCharge
  • 65MP Sony IMX682 camera
  • Active Halo Lighting
  • Military grade durability
  • Sounded by JBL

You know that moment when you try a phone just to ‘check it out,’ and then you keep reaching for it over your daily driver? Yep, that’s exactly what happened when I got my hands on the Infinix Note 50s 5G+. Priced at just Rs. 15,999, I wasn’t expecting anything out of the ordinary. But wow, this phone surprised me, and not in a ‘just okay’ kind of way.

From the stylish design to that vibrant AMOLED screen and surprisingly decent performance, the Note 50s 5G+ felt like a phone trying to prove a point, and doing it well. Of course, it’s not flawless (no phone at this price is), but what it offers for the money? Pretty impressive. So, if you are wondering whether this new Infinix device is just another forgettable mid-ranger or a smart steal, let’s get to know in this review.

Also Read | Infinix Zero 5G Long Term Review: Premium Design With Long Lasting Battery

ProsCons
Slim and lightweight designAverage Charging speed
Vibrant 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rateNo ultra-wide or macro lens
Long-lasting 5,500mAh battery 

What’s Inside The Box?

  • Infinix Note 50s 5G+ handset (Titanium Grey)
  • USB cable
  • 45W FastCharge
  • TPU case
  • SIM ejector tool
  • User manual
  • Warranty card
  • Stickers

Design

My attention was first drawn to the Infinix Note 50s 5G+’s slim and light design. At only 180 grams and 7.6mm thick, this phone feels incredibly sleek in the hand. This is something that I honestly didn’t expect at this price point. In fact, Infinix claims it’s the slimmest phone with a 3D curved display in this segment, and I’ve got to say, it definitely looks the part.

I have got the Titanium Grey variant and while the body is made of plastic, it absolutely doesn’t feel like it. The phone has a high-end feel thanks to the matte metallic rear finish, which shimmers a little in the daylight. It has the soft curves around the edges that makes it super comfortable to hold for long hours.

One design touch I really appreciated was the Active Halo lighting around the camera module. This subtle LED ring lights up during calls, charging, notifications, and even when clicking pictures.

On the back, the camera island sits neatly in the top left corner, housing three sensors. Meanwhile, you can see the Infinix branding at the bottom left. At the bottom edge, you’ll find the Type-C port, speaker grille, mic, and SIM tray, while the second speaker and mic sit at the top. Yes, dual stereo speakers on a phone under Rs. 16K. That’s rare, and it seriously boosts the media experience.

Display

This is the part where the Infinix Note 50s 5G+ really flexes its muscles. The moment you power it on, the 6.78-inch 3D curved AMOLED screen sets a premium vibe that’s hard to ignore. You get a Full-HD+ resolution, a super smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut support. In simple terms? Everything looks vibrant, colors pop, and animations feel silky-smooth. It genuinely gives off a flagship-like experience at a fraction of the price.

The display is further protected by Gorilla Glass 5 which is a nice bonus, especially for those of us who tend to drop our phones once in a while. Plus, the device is IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance, another rare find in this segment.

One cool little touch: at the top of the phone, you’ll spot ‘Sound by JBL’ printed above the screen, finely reminding you that this phone isn’t just about visuals, it’s got the audio chops too.

Overall, for Rs. 15,999, this panel easily beats most of its rivals. If you’re after a phone that looks and feels premium the moment you unlock it, the Note 50s 5G+ nails that first impression.

Performance

It is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset that powers the Infinix Note 50s 5G+. It is paired with 8GB of RAM and an additional 8GB of virtual RAM. You also get up to 256GB of onboard storage which is more than enough for all your apps, games, and photos.

In day-to-day use, the performance is smooth. Whether it was multitasking, casual gaming, or editing photos, the phone handled everything smoothly. App switching is quick and there were no lags or slowdowns during my usage.

Now coming to gaming which is surprisingly good. I tested Call of Duty: Mobile and BGMI and both ran at high frame rates (up to 90fps on supported titles). Even during longer gaming sessions, there were no major heating issues. Sure, it warms up a bit during extended play, but nothing alarming.

On the software side, the Note 50s 5G+ runs XOS 15 based on Android 15. Infinix has been working on cleaning up its UI, and it shows. Animations feel smoother, bloatware is much less, and the overall experience is now more refined. Plus, you get some genuinely useful AI-powered features like Folax AI Assistant, AI Wallpaper Generator, and Smart Translator. These tools are subtle and add value without getting in your way.

And here’s the icing on the cake. Three years of security patches and two years of OS updates are what Infinix is guaranteeing. That kind of support is rare in this segment and definitely deserves a thumbs up.

Camera

The Infinix Note 50s 5G+ comes with a 64MP Sony IMX682 primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. What adds flair to the rear module is the Infinite Loop Lighting. It is a circular LED ring that lights up for calls, messages, and even gaming. It’s subtle but adds character.

Now, let’s talk image quality. Honestly, the 64MP sensor performs really well for this price. Daylight shots are vibrant, sharp, and carry just the right number of punchy colors. There’s noticeable AI processing, but it’s tastefully done. This is something you’ll find on pretty much all smartphones these days.

Where it really impressed me was low-light photography. Colors stay balanced, exposure is well-controlled, and you won’t be left with overly noisy shots. For a phone under Rs. 16000, that’s a big win.

On the front, you’ve got a 16MP selfie camera with loads of features. From 4K video recording at 30fps, portrait mode, and dual video, to beauty filters and wide-angle selfies, all of these will be appreciated by vloggers and casual content creators.

As for video, you can shoot at 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps, which is more than fair for the segment.

Battery And Charging

The Infinix Note 50s 5G+ packs a big 5,500mAh battery into a slim 7.6mm body that is pretty impressive for a phone this sleek. In day-to-day use, it easily lasted me around 28 hours with medium to heavy usage. Light users can easily push it close to two full days. Infinix also adds clever touches like Bypass Charging, which sends power directly to the motherboard while gaming to reduce heat, and Low-Temperature Charging Mode, which slightly slows charging to protect long-term battery health.

Now, coming to the charging speed. It’s decent, though not mind-blowing. The 45W fast charger in the box got my phone from 6 percent to 100 percent in just about an hour. Not blazing fast, but totally acceptable at this price point.

Giznext’s Final Verdict

The Infinix Note 50s 5G+ punches well above its weight with a sleek design, curved AMOLED display, solid performance, and impressive battery life. While the camera AI may not appeal to purists and charging could be faster, these are minor trade-offs. For under Rs. 16,000, it’s a feature-packed phone that nails the essentials and even throws in a few surprises. A solid value-for-money choice.

Urban Harmonic Soundbar 2080 Review: A Punchy Audio Upgrade For Your Home

Key Highlights

  • 80W RMS HD Output
  • Super balanced bass & treble
  • Signature 3D surround sound
  • Wired smart sub-woofer
  • Remote control operations

If you are someone who loves to bring the cinema experience home but doesn’t want to break the bank, the Urban Harmonic 2080 Soundbar might just be the upgrade you are looking for. I have been using this sleek little beast for a while now, and I am here to share my thoughts on whether it’s truly worth your money. Let’s dive in.

What’s Inside The Box?

  • Soundbar with subwoofer
  • Remote controller
  • Aux cable
  • User Manual
  • Customer Support card
  • Warranty Registration card
  • Thank You card

Design & Build

The Urban Harmonic 2080 soundbar looks way more premium than I expected at this price. The matte black finish gives it a very clean and stylish vibe. It’s not glossy or flashy, but that’s exactly what makes it blend so well with most room setups. Whether your TV setup is fancy or minimal, this soundbar won’t look out of place.

When I unboxed it, I was honestly happy to see how compact and lightweight it is. It didn’t feel bulky at all. I placed it right below my TV, and it fit perfectly, no extra wires popping out, no clutter. You can also wall-mount it if you prefer a more seamless look.

There is touch controls on the top that are smooth and responsive. I tried playing around with them, changing tracks, adjusting the volume, and everything worked smooth. There’s also a tiny LED light that shows whether it’s connected or not. It’s simple but helpful, especially when you are switching between Bluetooth and AUX.

Now, let’s talk about the subwoofer. It’s a wired one, and though it’s not very big, it actually looks quite neat beside the TV unit. It adds to the whole setup and definitely doesn’t feel cheap. More importantly, it doesn’t scream for attention but you’ll hear it when it kicks in.

Overall, the design is practical, space-friendly, and genuinely good-looking. It won’t make your living room look like a sound studio, it just blends in nicely and does the job. Honestly, for a soundbar under Rs. 7,000, Urban has nailed the looks and finish.

Sound Performance

The first thing I noticed was how rich the sound quality is. The 3D surround sound feature is a game changer. It creates a 360-degree immersive audio experience, making it feel like you are right in the middle of the action, whether you are watching movies or playing games. The wired subwoofer takes things to the next level. This delivers deep bass that you can actually feel.

What’s even better is the four EQ modes, there’s one for movies, music, news, and gaming. I’ve used the movie and music modes the most, and trust me, the difference in sound quality is noticeable. It tailors the audio to fit the content you are enjoying, whether you are vibing to music or following an intense action sequence.

The smart standby mode is another thoughtful addition. When you are not using the soundbar, it automatically switches to an energy-efficient mode. This saves the power without you needing to do anything. Small touches like this make a huge difference in the long run, both in terms of convenience and your electricity bill.

Connectivity

One of the standout features for me is the Bluetooth 5.3 support. I’ve connected my phone and tablet to the soundbar with no hassle, and streaming music from anywhere was simple. Plus, the USB, HDMI ARC, and AUX ports give you plenty of options to hook up your TV, gaming console, or whatever device you need. It’s versatile, and that’s something I always look for in a tech product.
