This $200 Android phone fits a massive battery into an impossibly thin frame

What you need to know

  • The Infinix Note Edge combines a slim 7.2mm body with a massive 6,500mAh battery.
  • You get a 6.78-inch 3D-curved 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 4,500-nit HDR brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
  • With a starting price around $200, it delivers decent specs and features at a highly competitive mid-range cost.

Choosing between a thicker phone with a big battery or a slim phone with less battery life is a common frustration. Infinix is challenging that idea with its latest release, the Note Edge. The phone aims to offer both a large battery and a slim design, so you don’t have to compromise.

The Infinix Note Edge has a slim 7.2mm body, a 3D-curved AMOLED display, ultra-narrow bezels, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for protection. The screen measures 6.78 inches, offers 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color, and can reach up to 4,500 nits of brightness for HDR content.

What’s interesting is how Infinix managed to fit a large 6,500mAh battery into a slim phone. Usually, batteries this big make phones bulky. Infinix says it used advanced high-density materials and a "self-repairing" technology that fixes small battery cell damage during low-current charging.

Check your region before buying, though, as some markets may get a slightly smaller 6,150mAh battery. This battery supports 45W fast charging, can reach 50% in under 30 minutes, and uses adaptive bypass charging to manage heat during gaming or navigation.

Longevity is a selling point, not an afterthought

Infinix’s lab data says the battery should keep over 80% of its capacity after 2,000 charge cycles. That means it could last about six years of daily use if these claims hold up in real-world conditions.

Inside, the Note Edge is the first phone to use the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chipset. Built on a 6nm process, it combines Cortex-A78 and A55 cores with a Mali-G610 MC2 GPU. This setup should offer smoother multitasking, stable frame rates up to 90fps in supported games, and better power efficiency than older midrange chips.

Software is another area where the Note Edge tries to punch above its weight. XOS 16, based on Android 16, introduces a new Glow Space design language with dynamic lighting effects, physics-based haptic feedback, and playful 3D depth wallpapers.

Infinix promises three years of OS updates and five years of security patches, which is the longest update commitment for the Note series so far.

The starting price is about $200, which is very competitive. As phone prices keep rising, the Infinix Note Edge stands out as a strong value. You can reserve it now, and open sales are expected soon in select global markets.
