The Infinix NOTE Edge has officially arrived in Nigeria, bringing curved-screen design and a very large battery into the mid-range category, a segment increasingly competing with flagship aesthetics.
Rather than chasing raw power alone, the NOTE Edge focuses on balance: premium looks, long battery endurance and practical everyday performance aimed at students, creators and young professionals.
A Curved Display That Targets the Flagship Feel
The Infinix NOTE Edge comes with a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED curved display, something rarely seen in its expected price range.
You get:
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 10-bit colour
- Peak brightness up to 4500 nits
- Ultra-thin bezels (1.87mm)
In daily use, this mainly improves outdoor visibility and scrolling smoothness rather than just visuals. It also supports stereo speakers tuned by JBL, giving noticeably fuller sound than typical mono speakers found in many mid-range phones.
The phone is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i and rated IP65, meaning it can handle dust and light rain, useful for Nigerian weather conditions and daily commuting.

Performance: Dimensity 7100 5G Focuses on Stability
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chipset built on a 6nm process.
This chip is not designed to beat gaming flagships, but to deliver:
- stable performance
- efficient battery use
- consistent multitasking
- smoother gaming frame rates
Infinix also adds signal optimization software designed to maintain network stability in crowded areas, important for urban connectivity.
The Real Highlight: A Massive 6500mAh Battery
The NOTE Edge carries one of the largest batteries in its class.
- 6500mAh capacity
- Up to 26 hours navigation
- Up to 22 hours video playback
- 45W fast charging (50% in 27 minutes)
More interesting is its battery health system, rated to maintain over 80% capacity after about 2,000 charge cycles, roughly several years of normal usage.
At 7.2mm thickness and 185g weight, the phone remains relatively slim despite the battery size.

Software and AI Features
The phone runs XOS 16 based on Google Android 16 and includes AI tools aimed at productivity rather than gimmicks.
Features include:
- AI summaries and translations
- One-tap assistant shortcut button
- RAM expansion up to 16GB
- promised long-term updates
The update commitment matters because many mid-range devices are abandoned after one or two years.
Camera: Practical Over Experimental
The device uses a 50MP main camera tuned for everyday photography rather than heavy zoom or ultra-wide experimentation.
Key features:
- Live Photo recording
- AI photo editing tools
- Low-light optimisation
The camera aims at social media creators who want quick processing instead of manual editing workflows.
What the Infinix NOTE Edge Means for the Mid-Range Market
Instead of competing directly with gaming-focused phones, the NOTE Edge positions itself as a design + battery endurance phone.
That combination is becoming important in Nigeria where users prioritise:
- battery longevity
- display quality
- durability
- daily reliability
If priced competitively, it could appeal to buyers who want flagship appearance without flagship cost.
