Infinix, a subsidiary of Transsion Holdings, has recently launched its latest mid-range model, the Note 40 series, at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia. This new series includes the standard version, Note 40 Pro (4G/5G), and the top-end model, Note 40 Pro+.
All-Round Flash Charging 2.0 Technology Upgrade
Building on the success of the Note 30 series, the Note 40 models feature Infinix’s All-Round Flash Charging 2.0 technology. However, the company did not add any major upgrades to this feature this time. Infinix All-Round Flash Charging 2.0 technology boasts 100W multi-speed flash charging. It is capable of boosting power to 50% in just 8 minutes. Also, the new technology introduces magnetic flash charging functions. A standout feature is the introduction of Infinix’s first independently developed power management chip, the Cheetah X1.
Cheetah X1 Power Management Chip
The biggest highlight of the new phone is the company’s first independently developed power management chip, Cheetah X1. The Cheetah X1 chip offers a significant performance boost of 204% compared to traditional chips. Its smaller size reduces the transmission distance of current within the phone, leading to decreased heat generation and improved overall performance. The chip comprises three functional modules, enabling support for various charging scenarios like multi-speed flash charging, power-saving direct charging, reverse charging, and compatibility with multiple charging protocols.
Enhanced Charging Capabilities & Safety Features
The wireless charging power has been upgraded to 20W magnetic flash charging from the previous 15W. Infinix has also introduced the Infinix MagKit, a wireless charging kit that includes a magnetic protective case, a MagPad charging pad, and a MagPower power bank. These accessories offer users the convenience of wireless charging.
Gizchina News of the week
The Cheetah X1 chip incorporates high-precision power detection to monitor real-time power input and adjust settings to prevent overheating, ensuring the phone remains cool during charging. Moreover, the chip includes 63 protection schemes to safeguard the entire charging process.
According to Infinix, the Note 40 series can charge normally even in environments as low as -20°C. In addition, the new phone also supports the 2.0 power-saving direct charging function. This feature can filter the current and reduce the heat of the phone when the user is playing games or watching TV series.
Users can charge other devices at speeds up to 10W through wired or wireless methods. With support for the PD3.0 protocol, users can even utilize mobile phone chargers to charge laptops, enhancing the device’s versatility.
