The Infinix Note 40S is a sleek, design-forward addition to the acclaimed Note 40 lineup, offering premium curved-display aesthetics and advanced charging tech at a highly competitive price point. Starting from approximately ZAR 2,800, it serves as an excellent option for South African consumers who love the high-end look of a curved screen and the convenience of wireless power without the steep price tag.

Price Note: While pricing starts at around ZAR 2,800, please keep in mind that the final shelf price will vary based on localized market conditions, specific retail promotions, and whether you purchase it cash or bundle it with a cellular contract.

What Makes it Stand Out?

The Note 40S blends premium design elements from the Pro models with everyday efficiency, standing out for several major reasons:

  • 3D Curved 120Hz AMOLED Screen: True to the Note series’ premium aspirations, the Note 40S features a gorgeous 3D curved AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This gives the device an incredibly slim feel in the hand and makes streaming videos or scrolling through social feeds look stunning.

  • All-Round FastCharge & Wireless Charging: Infinix includes its innovative charging architecture here. The device supports fast wired charging alongside seamless compatibility with magnetic wireless charging accessories—giving you flexible, rapid power options to stay ahead of load-shedding schedules.

  • 108MP Super-Zoom Camera: The rear camera setup is anchored by a massive 108MP main sensor. It allows you to take highly detailed, crisp photographs and utilize high-quality in-sensor zoom without losing clarity when cropping into the shot.

  • Dual Speakers Tuned by JBL: Entertainment is heavily upgraded with dual stereo speakers engineered in collaboration with audio experts JBL. This ensures loud, clear, and balanced audio depth whether you are gaming, watching movies, or taking video calls.
