Unboxing/Accessories

Infinix Note 10 Pro 2022

The new Note 10 Pro arrives in the familiar green box with Infinix branding, specs, key features, and regulatory information.

Box inclusions

Inside is the phone, 33W wall charger, SIM ejector tool, USB Type-A to Type-C cable, bumper case, tempered glass, and documentation. There are no earphones included.

It is nice to see that Infinix still includes a charger and a silicone case inside the box. This has become a rarity in higher price smartphones. However, it is unfortunate that the company did not include earphones, unlike previous generations.

Build Quality/Design

Two-tone back Panel

At first glance, the Infinix Note 10 Pro 2022 looks very similar to the original. It features a glass front panel, plastic back panel, and a polycarbonate inner-frame. The phone curves at the back which makes it easy to hold but it is slippery and is a fingerprint smudge magnet. We recommend wearing the included case right away.

Because of the polycarbonate frame and the glasstic back, the phone is super lightweight even though it is rather large.

SIM tray

Surprisingly, the SIM tray has rubber gaskets for water resistance. The phone may feature decent water and dust resistance.

Large display

In front is a 6.95-inch 2.5D curved LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. It is large with good resolution and vibrant color. The brightness is decent for the price range but could struggle in daylight. 

On top of the display is a punch hole that houses the selfie camera and a slim earpiece. It is not the brightest panel we've seen in the price range but the colors are good.

Top and bottom

On top is a smooth surface while at the bottom are the speaker grills, microphone port, USB-C, and 3.5mm audio jack.

Left and right

On the left side is the SIM tray while on the right side is the volume rocker and the power button that doubles as the fingerprint scanner.

The phone measures 172.76 x 78.32 x 7.8 mm. 

Rear camera

At the back are is the 64MP, 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, 2MP mono, and 2MP portrait camera with a Quad Flash Light while on the punch hole is the front-facing 16MP selfie camera.

We have yet to try its cameras. Stay tuned!

As of the moment

Web surfing

Infinix continues to offer value-for-money smartphones but does the new Infinix Note 10 Pro 2022 do the same?

On paper, the new smartphone features attractive specs like the FHD+ 90Hz refresh rate display, 8GB RAM, 256GB of storage, a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, and 64MP quad-rear cameras.

The design of the phone is also unique and eye-catching with the two-tone back with the distinct camera module. Let's not forget the punch-hole display. 

We will have to see how it performs in real life soon.
