Editorial report

Infinix Note 12 (G96) technical sheet

The Infinix Note 12 (G96) suits buyers looking for a large AMOLED display in a slim, light phone. Its clearest trade-off is the 60 Hz refresh rate, among the lowest of its time. The display measures 6.7 inches, and its 85.7% screen-to-body ratio is better than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 7.9 mm thick, it is also thinner than most of those phones.

The main camera pairs 50 MP with an f/1.6 aperture, among the brightest of its time. Its 1/2.76″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones launched around then, however, and the camera overall is typical. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. The MediaTek Helio G96 comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage. Performance and hardware are typical for phones of its time.

A 5,000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging; both figures are typical. The phone includes Dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5, USB Type-C, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its connectivity is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time. This version matches the only available configuration, 8 GB / 128 GB. With a NeoScore of 4.9, it is a reasonable fit for buyers who prioritize an AMOLED display and slim design and can accept the low refresh rate and less competitive connectivity.
