MANILA, Philippines (Mar 2025) — Infinix is set to introduce its latest NOTE 50 Series smartphone on March 20, featuring the One-Tap Infinix AI and a striking full-metal body. The device is rumored to be the first under $500 to utilize an advanced unibody metal casting process, inspired by high-efficiency manufacturing techniques used in the automotive industry.
Borrowing from Car Manufacturing
Infinix appears to be taking cues from electric vehicle makers like Tesla, which pioneered integrated steel-aluminum casting technology to streamline production and enhance durability. By applying similar methods, Infinix aims to create a smartphone that is lighter, stronger, and more environmentally friendly.
ArmorAlloy™: A Full-Metal Design
Unlike most budget smartphones that use plastic or glass backs, the NOTE 50 Series is expected to feature ArmorAlloy, a fusion of Damascus steel and aluminum alloy. This material enhances scratch resistance, prevents deformation, and offers better corrosion resistance, making it more durable in humid environments. Additionally, its use of recyclable metal aligns with sustainable production practices.
HyperCasting: A New Approach to Smartphone Manufacturing
Infinix is rumored to be developing a proprietary process called HyperCasting, where aluminum alloy is melted at 700°C and molded under 600 tons of pressure. This technique reportedly eliminates up to 22 welding points, reducing weight while strengthening the phone’s frame. It also enhances heat dissipation, which could be a major benefit for mobile gamers.
A Bold Camera Design
The NOTE 50 Series features an octagonal camera module, inspired by high-performance car air intakes, diamond-cut precision, and luxury jewelry. The design aims to blend functionality with a premium aesthetic, catering to users who value both style and performance.
A Potential Shift in the Smartphone Industry
If these innovations hold up, the NOTE 50 Series could mark a turning point in smartphone manufacturing. A shift toward high-efficiency production techniques may lead to thinner, lighter, and stronger smartphones without compromising aesthetics or durability.
