Infinix Note 50X Review: There's only one flaw
This phone is the best deal for the vast majority of people at the 10,500 price point.
Yes, extending to the Vivo T4X (with offers) is a much better deal, but not everyone can afford the extra ₹2K-3K at this segment.

1. Multimedia
If you're coming from a phone with a 1080P display & over 326 PPI, you will feel the downgrade in sharpness every time you use the phone.
At 263 PPI, the lack of sharpness is very apparent for images, text, general multimedia, and especially video consumption.
If you have another device (laptop/ tablet/ etc) with a better screen for content consumption, this is serviceable.
The biggest issue with text. Reading a PDF is not a good experience on this; you have to zoom in a fair bit more than usual to get sharper text.
If you're a student and you make use of your phone for reading PDFs sometimes, this will not work that well.
Colour science is not really a problem, & outdoor brightness is okay for the price, so are viewing angles.
The resolution is extremely poor; let's not sugarcoat that.

Haptics are, again, sub-par, but u won't complain about it. It's 10,500. You can turn them off or reduce the intensity (for the keyboard).
& for the price, the speakers are decently loud, just don't cross 70%. Vocals get a bit shrill, sharper instruments are too treble-heavy.

2. Cameras
The primary camera (the only one) uses the Samsung JN1 (50MP 1/2.76") sensor, with f/1.6 aperture.
It does not feature OIS. The front camera is an 8MP sensor.
Overall, the images are serviceable for this price segment, but keep expectations in check. JN1 is JN1.

General low-light photography (not extreme low-light) is genuinely surprisingly good, for this segment
It takes fairly usable photos

For product photography, close-ups are strictly average with poor details, and a lot of weird sharpness, but that's expected
You can still take decent product photos

The filters aside, you have "Standard" mode which is a little dull and washed out, "Bright" makes the colours pop.
And the "Strong" mode adds slight warmth and boosts the contrast.
You can adjust the settings based on taste

3. Battery Life & Charging
The only issue here is that the settings app does not show SOT properly.
AccuBattery did not report it accurately. Kept over reporting or simply closing
So you'll have to rely on usage. 6-7h screen time average.

It takes ~1h to charge fully with the 45W mode, & it's good that you can select what charging speed you want. It lets you know when you plug it in.
The charger is a 45W charger, which is included in the box. Don't know if it's PD

4. Performance
easily the best-performing device in this segment
It is another highlight of this phone, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset.
6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, which is fine for the price.
BGMI: Supports only 60 FPS, but runs the game very smoothly for the price. The heat management is also controlled.
Genshin Impact: Runs the game fine at Low settings, but tends to struggle at Medium. Playable, but not great.
