    Infinix Note 40 Pro 5G: Android’s First Magnetic Wireless Charging Phones in India

    Infinix Note 40 Pro series is set to debut in India this April, with a dedicated landing page already live on Flipkart, revealing key specifications for the upcoming Note 40 Pro 5G and Note 40 Pro+ 5G smartphones. Similar to its predecessor, the Note 30 series, which focused on delivering versatile and rapid charging capabilities, the Note 40 series is poised to offer an enhanced charging experience for users.

    Magnetic Wireless Charging Unveiled

    The Infinix Note 40 series introduces 20W magnetic wireless charging technology, along with support for 20W magCharge wireless charging. Magnetic wireless charging facilitates a secure connection, leading to quicker and more efficient charging compared to traditional wireless charging methods. While conventional wireless charging relies on induction technology and demands precise device placement on charging pads, magnetic wireless charging streamlines the process, offering a more user-friendly and seamless experience thanks to its secure attachment mechanism and faster charging speeds.

    Infinix Takes a Page from Apple's Book

    Apple has been at the forefront of magnetic wireless charging with its MagSafe branding, introduced with the iPhone 12 series in 2020. Notably, this feature has been absent in Android phones until now. However, Infinix's upcoming Note 40 series is poised to become the first commercially available Android smartphones to support magnetic wireless charging, as indicated on the Flipkart landing page.

    Features Highlighted for the Note 40 Series

    The Flipkart listing confirms that the Note 40 series will boast 20W MagCharge wireless charging capabilities. Moreover, these models will offer reverse wireless charging, enabling users to charge other compatible devices like phones and earbuds. Additionally, the Note 40 series will incorporate the Cheetah X1 chip, designed for efficient power management.

    While the Note 40 and Note 40 Pro will have 4G variants, it seems that these versions may not be available in the Indian market. Instead, the country will witness the launch of the 5G models, including the Note 40 Pro and Note 40 Pro+, powered by the Dimensity 7020 chipset.
