The camera setup

The Infinix Note 11S proves itself to be powerful both on paper and in real life considering its price of PHP 9,990 only.

Also, its 50MP camera performance did fairly well, although it has exposure issues both in photo and video, it still gave us decent and usable shots to post on social media.

Overall, the Note 11S impressed us with its capable performance so we’re giving this phone a 4.4 out of 5 ratings. That's it!
