This newcomer is as thin as the Galaxy S25, but has a 6,500 mAh battery and a 4x lower price

Samsung, Apple ultra-thin flagships have failed in 2025; will budget mid-rangers with wasp waists triumph in 2026?

Infinix phone on a white drop.
There's a new cat in town: the Infinix Note Edge, and if you like 'em thin and light, well, this one's for you.

It's no match for the ultra-thin champions, but it's still thin



The just-released Infinix Note Edge comes with a 6.78-display (AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 1208 x 2644 px resolution, up to 2160Hz PWM dimming) in a chassis that measures just 7.2mm in thickness. That's the same thinness that the $800 Galaxy S25 offers.

The Infinix Note Edge is 185 g with a certain green finish (or 190 g if it's in black, blue, or the "Lunar Titanium" color option), which means that you'll certainly notice the difference if you're coming from a 200 g+ device (for reference, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is 233 g).

While I personally have no problem with phones that are around 10mm thick, I understand how some would prefer something more sleek and easy to hold. The Note Edge's 7.2 mm profile is pretty respectable, although I would call it an "ultra-thin phone", as this title is reserved for handsets like the Galaxy S25 Edge (5.8mm thin) and the iPhone Air (5.6mm thin). Basically, for a phone to enter this league, it has to be under 6mm.

The aforementioned two models by Sammy and Apple did, however, fail spectacularly in terms of sales in 2025. Maybe it was because they were premium-priced and their batteries were so insignificant in capacity numbers that they drove off any potential buyers.

The Infinix Note Edge's battery and chipset


So, the Infinix Note Edge has a 6,500 mAh battery cell, which, depending on your habits, should keep the lights on for a respectable amount of time. The 6.78-inch display is a large one, so I wouldn't keep it at 100% brightness levels for too long, though.

The phone comes with up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage (certainly not as blazing fast as phones with UFS 4.1) and 8 GB of RAM.

On its back, there's a single 50 MP camera, while selfies are handled by the 13 MP front snapper.

In other words, that's a true lower-tier mid-ranger. That's why, under the hood, there's the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset.

This one is designed to balance power and efficiency. It should manage everyday tasks smoothly with four high-performance CPU cores, while also boosting gaming performance with an upgraded GPU.

MediaTek's power-saving features help the phone run longer on a single charge and support fast 45W charging. The chip also enables features like long-distance Bluetooth connections between phones without using mobile data. Overall, it's a solid mid-range platform that keeps performance steady without draining the battery too quickly.

The Infinix Note Edge is the world's phone that uses the Dimensity 7100: that's another potential bragging point right there.

Let's talk about $$$


But, above all, its price may be its most important feature. The Infinix Note Edge is released in 20+ countries around the world (sadly, the US isn't one of those, but I guess you could easily import one from Latin America). At ~$200 (when directly converted), as this report has it, the Infinix Note Edge could be a very sane choice in a world gone mad.

What's the best feature of the Infinix Note Edge?
