At this price point, the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G has one of the strongest specs in its class paired with a lot of nifty features.

Verdict
 |
| The new standard for the price? |
It's a great all-around phone for the price.
All in all, I am overwhelmed with this phone—in a good way. It's feature-rich, delivers great performance and cameras in its range, an outstanding battery experience, a full-screen display, and a robust yet stylish build.
We can see a well-thought-out idea with Infinix's users in mind.
For its official price of PHP 17,999, we think it's a solid device that can provide long-term reliability. For its PHP 15,999 introductory price, it is an even better deal that is quite hard to beat.
If you're interested, it also comes with a FREE Call of Duty Mobile T-shirt, a 1-year VIU subscription, and a car charger when you purchase from official eCommerce stores until supplies last.
