Infinix's new Note Edge challenges the classic battery-vs-thickness trade-off. The slim 7.2mm frame houses a massive 6,500mAh battery, a rare combination for a phone at its $200 starting price. This mid-range device targets consumers tired of choosing between a bulky phone with long life and a sleek device that dies quickly.

The phone pairs its battery with a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak 4,500-nit brightness. Powering it is the new MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chipset, built on a 6nm process for better efficiency. Infinix claims the battery retains over 80% capacity after 2,000 charge cycles, potentially lasting six years.

Infinix promises three years of OS updates and five years of security patches for its XOS 16 software, based on Android 16. This is the longest update commitment for the Note series. With a starting price of around $200, the Note Edge presents a compelling value proposition in a market where phone prices are steadily climbing.
