Infinix Note 40 5G

The phone measures 164.2mm tall, 74.5mm wide, and 8mm thick, with a volume of 97.8632 cm³ and a weight of 196g. It carries an IP53 ingress protection rating, meaning it is water resistant against splashing from any direction, though it does not meet the threshold of a rugged build. The design is a standard slab form factor — it does not fold and is not built to withstand harsh physical conditions beyond basic splash resistance.

The display is a 6.78-inch OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2436 px and a pixel density of 393 ppi, producing a sharp and detailed image across the large panel. It runs at a 120Hz refresh rate with a 360Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input, and its 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio reflects the deep blacks characteristic of OLED technology. The always-on display feature is supported, allowing glanceable information without fully waking the screen. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision are not supported, and no branded damage-resistant glass is listed. There is no secondary screen, and the device uses a standard single-panel design.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7020, a 6nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU configuration running at 2 x 2.2GHz and 6 x 2GHz, supported by big.LITTLE and HMP technologies for efficient workload distribution. It is paired with 12GB of DDR5 RAM at 2750MHz and 512GB of internal storage, with a maximum supported memory ceiling of 16GB. The integrated IMG BXM 8 256 GPU operates at 900MHz, supports DirectX 12 and OpenCL 2, and has 18 shading units. Benchmark results place the AnTuTu score at 456,900, with Geekbench 6 returning 884 single-core and 2,291 multi-core, while the PCMark Work 3.0 performance score reaches 11,642 with a battery endurance result of 575 minutes. The chipset has a TDP of 7W, includes integrated LTE, supports 64-bit processing, and features NX bit for hardware-level memory protection.

The rear camera system is a triple-lens setup led by a 108MP primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, supported by two 2MP auxiliary lenses each at f/2.4. The main sensor uses a CMOS type and supports phase-detection autofocus for stills, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, though optical image stabilization and laser autofocus are absent. Video capture tops out at 1440 x 30fps, with slow-motion recording also available, but HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas are all present; RAW capture and manual shutter speed are not available. Flash is handled by four LED units, with no dual-tone or RGB configuration. The 32MP front camera sits at f/2.2, is positioned conventionally above the display rather than under it, and operates as a single-lens setup without a front-facing flash.

The device runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and app tracking blocking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are absent. Customization options include theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while productivity is supported through split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, customizable notifications, a media picker, and the ability to play games while they download. On-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, widgets, sharing intents, child lock, multi-user support, phone tracking, and battery health check are all present. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to use the device as a PC are not supported, and direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided.

The phone is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 33W wired fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. Wireless charging is available at 15W, and reverse wireless charging is also supported, allowing the device to charge other compatible accessories. The battery is non-removable and includes a battery level indicator. There is no option to remove or replace the battery manually.

The device includes stereo speakers and a built-in radio, but does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, so wired headphones would require an adapter. Bluetooth audio codec support is limited, with no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC available, meaning high-resolution wireless audio transmission through those codecs is not an option.

The phone supports 5G connectivity with a maximum download speed of 2770 Mbits/s and accommodates two SIM cards. Wi-Fi covers both Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Bluetooth 5.0 is onboard alongside NFC for short-range communication. The USB Type-C port runs on USB 2.0, and there is no external memory slot for storage expansion. Sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS with Galileo support, an infrared sensor, and a fingerprint scanner. Features such as a barometer, heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, 3D facial recognition, iris scanner, DLNA certification, HDMI output, satellite SOS, crash detection, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent. No stylus is included.

The device includes a video light for illuminating subjects during video recording, while the display is a standard flat panel — it is neither curved nor uses sapphire glass or e-paper technology.
