Well, we received a review unit of the device 2 weeks back, and by first impressions, the Infinix Note 7 comes in a medium-sized box with a semi-premium finish just like the Note 6. Inside the box, regular accessories are tagged along with the device and here is a flex of the device’s unboxed contents:

Infinix Note 7 Box Contents

• A single Infinix Note 7
• Micro USB Cable
• Charging Brick
• Headsets
• Transparent phone cover (rubber)
• Single layer Screen Protector
• SIM tray Ejection PIN
• User Manuals

However, the Infinix Note 7 misses the XPEN in-box, but tags along as an extra accessory that can be purchased from authorized points of sale. So, it’s the end of an era for the Infinix Note series to tag along an Xpen as evidenced on previous releases like the Note 6 and Note 5 Smartphones.

Infinix Note 7 First Impressions

The Infinix Note 7 is a big phablet that weighs lighter, but holds a wide display rocking with 6.95 Inch Screen. Sparkling out loud, a punch hole display rules the device’s top right bezels giving the Phone a full display standard.

But what truly impresses is the device’s circular-shaped quad rear camera setup that promises better quality images, and sieves as the only rear-view component this time around, with no rounded fingerprint sensor. 

Instead, the Power button rocks as a Fingerprint sensor with a soft patch, which is awesome, given the fact that you don’t have to press the button, but simply touch with a registered fingerprint.

On Power-on, the Infinix Note 7 display delivers the most of detail with lesser bezels and in-screen navigation buttons on its close to 7-Inch display. Likely, the Note 7 still rocks with a basic HD resolution of 720 which we feel is a little backward, now that most flagships rock with Full HD 1080 and 4K displays.

However, Big Storage, Big Battery are all equipped by the Infinix Note 7. A Base 64GB Internal memory is good enough to facilitated common files and not wave any out-of-space alerts.

More so, 4GB RAM is good for real-time memory, and this means the Smartphone can handle most memory-thirst games like Call of Duty, PUGB Mobile, among others.

5000mAh of Battery power equals to almost 3-days without a charge, the inbuilt battery capacity is a great standard to deliver more uptime to the device, even on a wide display. But we shall try running battery intensive applications on the Phone and share our experience in our upcoming review article.

Infinix Note 7 Price in Uganda

The Infinix Note 7 is priced at UGX 734,000 for the 4GB/64GB Version with a circular quad rear camera, UGX 833,000 for the 6GB RAM/128GB ROM version, then UGX 655,000 for the 4GB/64GB version with a triple camera setup.

All 3variants come in three color options; Bolivia Blue, Forest Green, and Aether Black available at Airtel Service centers. Likely, the Xpen comes an external accessory estimated at UGX 120,000 or slightly more.

With a Quad rear camera system teasing as the Smartphone’s top range feature, the Infinix Note 7 comes with a different punch-hole display notch routing a 6.95 Inch screen size, but misses an Xpen as an onboard accessory and instead ships as an external piece for the Smartphone.

As seen on the Infinix Note 6, Note 5 and Note 4 Pro, the Xpen was known to follow Samsung’s Galaxy Note Smart Pen trend by having a dedicated slot from the device’s bottom array.

However, by ditching the dedicated Xpen slot, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor is gifted to the Note 7 to make up as a another accessibility liner, which is the first for an Infinix Smartphone.

During the launch, Infinix Note 7 was revealed in 3 variants, the Note7 Lite with 4GB RAM+ 64GB ROM, a Note7 with 4GB RAM+64GB ROM, and the Note7 with 6GB RAM +128GB ROM.

Apparently, all variants differ in price by a low margin of 655,000 for the Lite, then UGX 734,000, and UGX 833,000 for the 64GB and 128GB respectively.

By Performance, the Note 7 runs Android 10 Pie ontop of Infinix’s custom XOS6.0 firmware, the device also equips an octa-core MediaTek Helio G70 processor supported by 4GB RAM and 64 GB or 128GB onboard Internal storage.

Attractively, the device’s quad rear camera setup includes a 48MP main sensor, a 2MP sensor, a 2MP tertiary sensor, and a low light 16MP video sensor with a maximum aperture of f1.8.

To the front, the device houses a single selfie camera under its punch-hole display notch. With a tose of what the Infinix Note 7 has to offer, here is a tone of the device’s mini specifications sheet.

Now that the Infinix Note 7 is off the launchpad, we shall test its performance and feature levels in our review and unboxing articles soon.

Having delayed its 2020 Smartphones launch pad due to the current COVID19 Pandemic, Infinix Mobile is set to launch the Note 6 successor in Uganda.

Infinix Note 7 succeeds the Note 6 and the Android one powered Note 5 Smartphones on the market. Being a 2020 release, we expect the phone to have a pile of upgrades to taste.

But unlike its predecessors, the Infinix Note 7 accessory list doesn’t feature an X-Pen as compared to the Note 6,5 and 4Pro. However, the device is rumored to have extra functionality to replace the physical pane.

Accordingly, Infinix Note series are best known to tag along flagship performance, fast charging, and still carry balanced battery performance. With the Infinix Note 7, we expect not a lot to change with its teaser images inking a much wider display and quad rear camera system.

The Smartphone’s Internal storage capacity is rumored to be 64GB and 128GB as 6GB of RAM takes charge of the device’s performance ratio. Likely, the Note 7 equips a 5000mAh battery inking an upgrade trend from the regular 4000mAh series on previous Note-series entrants.

As per the device specs sheet in other markets, the Infinix Note 7 comes in two variants, a base version and a Lite version ranking at two different price tags, though the device price range has not been confirmed as yet. But once the Smartphone is launched, we expect the Infinix Note 7 to kiss a UGX 700,000 price mark just like the Infinix Note 6.

Excitingly the Infinix Note 7 is accompanied to the market by a Lite version__the Infinix Note 7 Lite which packs minimal features with a more budget-friendly price tag.

Infinix Note 7: It’s features, specifications

Unlike the Infinix Note 6 which posed a solid finish, and a quad rear camera setup on the regular right-top-rear position. The Infinix Note 7 ships with a rounded rear camera setup as seen on popular high-end releases.

It sports a large IPS 6.95 Inch display with a 720 * 1640 pixels dimension riding on a 20:5:9 aspect ratio and a punch-hole display notch housing the front selfie camera.

The Infinix Note7 fingerprint sensor is located on its sides shifting away from the back plate trend. Additionally, face unlock is another extra security layer added to it in the light of Android 10 as the base Operating System. Nonetheless, here is a sniff of the key Infinix Note 7 specifications:

Infinix Note 7 Specifications

At the moment, The Infinix Note 7 is only available in Nigeria. But depending on the COVID pandemic tension on the African continent, the Smartphone could soon launch in strong demand countries like Kenya, and Uganda much sooner than expected.
