Infinix Note Edge

This one's built around the Dimensity 7100, a 6nm chip paired with 8GB RAM plus 8GB of extended RAM and 256GB storage, so multitasking and app switching shouldn't be an issue at this price point. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz and hits up to 1600 nits HBM brightness, which helps outdoors, and it's backed by stereo speakers tuned by JBL for a bit more punch when watching videos.

Battery life comes from a 6500mAh cell, and 45W wired charging gets you to 50% in 27 minutes if you're topping up in a hurry. There's also 10W reverse wired charging, handy for topping up earbuds or another phone. The 50MP rear camera with PDAF handles the main shooting duties, while the 13MP front camera covers selfies and video calls.

Infinix Note Edge price in Malaysia starts from RM999. It ships with Android 16 and Infinix has committed to 3 major OS upgrades, plus IP65 water and dust resistance, which isn't a given at this price. You get NFC and an IR blaster too, both useful extras that some rivals skip.
