This is not a hype, but a new midrange smartphone was released today that, based on its spec sheet, can beat expensive ones from other brands. I am talking about the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G, which arrived with a powerful chipset, telephoto lens, premium design, and other features that we only previously saw at around PHP 25,000 to 35,000 price point. And wait until you hear how much this device actually costs—it might just surprise you.
Is the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G the Best Smartphone Under PHP 20K in 2025?
Starting with the brain, Infinix Mobile uses the latest 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate octa-core chipset with Mali G615-MC6 GPU. I have been using a phone with this chipset and it is very powerful, more than enough for heavy users or those who use power-hungry apps.

As for the memory, the Infinix NOTE 50 Pro+ 5G has 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS4.0 internal storage. Kudos to Infinix for using fast memory even though this phone is very cheap.
Moreover, this phone boasts great camera performance since it is equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX896 main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), 50MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, up to 100x ultimate zoom, as well as OIS, and 8MP ultra-wide lens. For the selfie camera, this phone uses a 32MP camera sensor that is also great for selfies. Seeing a camera system this premium in a sub-20K phone is already impressive.
Another great feature of this phone is its display, the Note 50 Pro+ 5G has a large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, Always-On display feature, and up to 1,300 nits max brightness.
You can also get enough battery life in this phone since it is powered by a large 5,200mAh battery capacity that supports 100W All-round FastCharge 3.0. Its battery is claimed to maintained it health for up to 6 years.
This might surprise you—but at this price point, this phone already features 50W wireless charging. Even most of the phones in our 10 Best New Smartphones under PHP 40K (Q1 2025) don’t have wireless charging support.
Enough for internal hardware, you will also surely love the design of this phone since it has a premium build, thanks to its Ultra-Resilient Armor Alloy design that is built with ShockAbsorb architecture. The available colorways of this phone are Titanium Grey and Enchanted Purple
