The Infinix Note 50x 5G leads on wireless connectivity across the board. It supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) in addition to Wi-Fi 4 and 5, while the Oppo F29 5G tops out at Wi-Fi 5. Wi-Fi 6 brings meaningfully better performance in congested environments — think apartment buildings, offices, or public hotspots — with improved throughput and lower latency under load. The cellular speed gap is even more pronounced: the Infinix reaches up to 3270 Mbps on both upload and download, versus the Oppo's 2900 Mbps download but a notably limited 900 Mbps upload. For users who frequently send large files, livestream, or back up to the cloud over mobile data, that upload ceiling on the Oppo is a real constraint. Bluetooth also favors the Infinix, with version 5.4 against the Oppo's 5.1 — a newer standard offering incremental improvements in connection stability and power efficiency.
Two hardware features further differentiate the phones. The Infinix includes a microSD card slot for expandable storage, a practical advantage for users who hit storage limits or want to carry media offline — something the Oppo entirely lacks. The Infinix also carries an infrared sensor, enabling it to function as a universal remote for TVs and home appliances, a convenient utility the Oppo does not offer. Both phones share NFC, dual SIM, USB Type-C, GPS with Galileo support, a fingerprint scanner, and a gyroscope, so the core connectivity essentials are evenly matched.
The verdict in this category goes clearly to the Infinix Note 50x 5G. Its advantages are not marginal — Wi-Fi 6 support, a dramatically higher upload speed ceiling, a newer Bluetooth version, expandable storage, and an infrared blaster collectively represent a broader and more future-ready connectivity package than what the Oppo F29 5G provides.
