Infinix is set to launch another smartphone in its Note 50 series in India, just after the Note 50x release. The upcoming model, Note 50s 5G+, has been teased to come in three color choices: Titanium Grey, Ruby Red, and Marine Drift Blue.

Unique Color and Technology

Among these options, Marine Drift Blue stands out because Infinix claims it features microencapsulation technology, which will give the phone a long-lasting scent. The company has now revealed that the launch date for this fragrant device in India is April 18.

How the Scent Works

Infinix is promoting this technology as Energizing Scent-Tech. Essentially, it captures fragrance molecules in tiny capsules that are integrated into the phone’s vegan leather back. This means the phone will slowly release a light, fresh scent over time.

Infinix assures that the fragrance is meant to be subtle and will last long, but its strength and duration could change based on usage and outside factors like temperature and humidity. The company claims the scent could stay for up to six months.

Pricing and Features

“We aim to be innovative. One of our innovations is this Energizing Scent-Tech. It’s not just a pretty phone; it smells great too, and there’s a lot of tech involved,” said Infinix India CEO Anish Kapoor. He also indicated that the phone will be priced below Rs 20,000 in India, which is around $235 for a scented smartphone that won’t break the bank.

While we don’t have the complete specifications for the device yet, considering the expected price, it’s safe to say not to anticipate anything overly luxurious. However, the official images confirm that it will include a 64MP Sony IMX682 sensor as its main camera.
