Infinix, a rising star in the world of smartphone brands, is making waves in developing nations with its range of affordable yet feature-packed phones. The latest addition to its lineup is the Infinix Note 40 series, which boasts unique features like frictionless charging.
The flagship model, Note 40 Pro+, stands out with a 120Hz curved AMOLED display, in-display fingerprint scanner, AI features, JBL-tuned dual speakers, a slim profile with vegan leather finish, and lightning-fast 100-watt wired charging. What sets it apart even more is its support for wireless charging, a feature usually reserved for premium smartphones.
One of the key highlights of the Note 40 series is the innovative charging technology that ensures charging even in extreme conditions and minimizes overheating. In a recent interview with Infinix executives, the unique charging capabilities of the Note 40 series were discussed.
Exploring Wired Charging
The Note 40 Pro+ supports wired charging at an impressive 100W, allowing for quick charging times. The device offers three charging modes—Hyper, Smart, and Low Temp—to give users control over the charging process. The Hyper mode, for instance, can charge 50% of the battery in less than 10 minutes.
To address concerns about battery health and overheating, the Smart mode regulates charging speeds intelligently, while the Low Temp mode ensures a cool charging process. In scenarios like gaming, a passthrough mode helps maintain performance by pausing charging at certain intervals.
A Special Chip for Temperature Management
The charging speeds and temperatures are managed by a special “Cheetah X1” chipset designed by Infinix. This chip optimizes charging speeds, temperature control, and safety during the charging process. Even with third-party chargers, the chip ensures safe and efficient charging.
When it comes to wireless charging, the Note 40 Pro+ offers 20W wireless charging with the included MagPad. The device also supports reverse wireless charging at 5W, allowing users to charge other accessories wirelessly. The bundled MagPad ensures convenient wireless charging without adding bulk.
Real-World Testing Results
Real-world testing of the Note 40 Pro+ confirmed its impressive charging capabilities and temperature management. Charging times, heat generation, and overall performance aligned with Infinix’s promises, showcasing the device’s reliability in various scenarios.
Infinix’s Contribution to Wireless Charging
Infinix’s inclusion of wireless charging in affordable phones like the Note 40 series is a significant step towards popularizing the feature. By offering wireless charging as standard across its lineup, Infinix is aligning with Apple’s vision of widespread wireless charging accessibility.
The affordability and accessibility of wireless charging on Infinix devices, along with the development of a MagSafe-like ecosystem, demonstrate the brand’s commitment to innovation and user convenience.
