Infinix Note 40 Series was launched globally early this week and a local launch is in the works too. The Note 40 lineup comprises of the base Note 40, Note 40 Pro 4G, Note 40 Pro 5G and Note 40 Pro+ 5G.
The four share most design features and they will ship with Infinix’s All-Round FastCharge 2.0, the company’s upgraded ultra-fast charging now powered by their in-house built Cheetah X1 chip.
All of them support 20W wireless charging and except for the Pro Plus model, the three support 45W wired charging – the top variant supports 100W wired charging.
The Cheetah X1 chip incorporates All-round Support module, a high-precision power monitor module and a safety module.
This means that with its impressive processing efficiency per unit and intelligent algorithms, the chip eliminates the need for translation processes as current flows through the phone enabling the smartphone to offer charging functions beyond standard modes.
Charging functions under All-Round FastCharge 2.0:
- Multi-Protocol Fast Charge
- Reverse Charge Mode
- Multi-Speed FastCharge
- Bypass Charging Mode
With its wafer-level packaging technology, the chip shortens signal transmission paths and minimizes electrical signal delays, enhancing electrical performance, particularly in high-speed data transmission
and high-frequency applications.
The 20W Wireless Magcharge supported by the new Infinix MagKit for magnetic charging. The Kit also includes a MagCase for the phone, MagPower power bank and MagPad charging pad as seen with the features image above.
