Infinix is stepping into the slim-phone conversation with its newly announced Note Edge, a device that challenges the idea that thin phones must compromise on battery life—or affordability.
At 7.2mm thick, the Note Edge isn’t chasing record-breaking thinness, but it still undercuts most modern smartphones while matching the profile of premium devices like Samsung’s Galaxy S25.
What makes this impressive is what Infinix managed to fit inside.
Slim body, unexpectedly large battery
Despite its sleek chassis, the Infinix Note Edge packs a 6,500 mAh battery, a capacity usually reserved for much bulkier phones. For users tired of ultra-thin flagships sacrificing endurance, this combination stands out immediately.
Fast charging is also covered, with 45W wired charging included right in the box—along with a case, screen protector, USB cable, and charger, continuing Infinix’s tradition of generous retail bundles.
Curved AMOLED display and retro-inspired design
On the front, the phone features a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1220p-class resolution.
Infinix claims extremely high brightness levels, making the panel well-suited for outdoor use. High-frequency PWM dimming is present as well, helping reduce eye strain at lower brightness levels.
Design-wise, the Note Edge leans into softer curves and rounded corners, giving it a slightly retro feel compared to today’s boxier phones.
The rear panel uses a textured finish that subtly shimmers under light, while stereo speakers tuned by JBL add to the multimedia appeal.
A customizable side key—accented in green on certain models—can be set to launch apps or perform shortcuts, such as opening the camera with a long press.
First phone powered by Dimensity 7100
Under the hood, the Infinix Note Edge is the first smartphone to launch with MediaTek’s Dimensity 7100 chipset.
Positioned firmly in the lower mid-range, the chip focuses on efficiency rather than raw power, aiming to deliver smooth everyday performance while keeping battery consumption in check.
The phone ships with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Camera hardware is modest but practical: a 50MP main camera on the back and a 13MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
Software support and pricing
Out of the box, the Note Edge runs XOS 16, based on Android 16, featuring a refreshed visual style inspired by modern “liquid glass” UI trends.
Infinix promises three major Android updates and five years of security patches, which is notable at this price level.
And that price may be the phone’s biggest selling point. At roughly $200 when converted, the Infinix Note Edge costs several times less than ultra-thin flagships while delivering a far larger battery.
Availability
The Infinix Note Edge is launching in over 20 markets globally, though it is not officially available in the United States.
That said, international buyers may still be able to import it through third-party retailers.
Bottom line
The Infinix Note Edge doesn’t aim to compete with ultra-premium flagships on performance or camera sophistication.
Instead, it delivers a compelling mix of slim design, long battery life, modern display tech, and aggressive pricing—a combination that could resonate strongly with budget-conscious users in 2026.
For buyers who want a phone that feels sleek in the hand without dying halfway through the day, Infinix’s latest mid-ranger makes a strong case.
