Why the Infinix Note 40 Pro Is Underrated But Offers Great Value

Strong Specs That Punch Above Its Price

The Infinix Note 40 Pro delivers features that many phones costing much more struggle with. It has a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes interactions and scrolling feel smooth. The 108MP main camera plus a 32MP selfie cam give solid photography in good light. Battery capacity is 5,000mAh which keeps you going through a full day, and it supports fast wired charging (70W) and wireless MagCharge options in many variants. It runs Android 14 with XOS 14 out of the box. (Zenex Technologies)

Where It’s Undervalued

Many people overlook the Note 40 Pro because Infinix is often associated with budget phones, not premium features. But the reality is that the Note 40 Pro blends high-end display tech, a camera bump, and fast charging in a mid-range price band. Other phones in this price range often compromise more—slower refresh rates, lower resolution cameras, or weaker charging support. For users who want a phone that feels up to modern tasks—video, social media, photography—without paying flagship prices, Note 40 Pro delivers surprisingly well. Some tradeoffs are present—low-light photography isn’t perfect, materials aren’t top-tier, and perhaps update & support won’t be as long as premium brands—but the package gives more value than many similar devices.

Current Price in Kenya & Where to Buy

• Phones City Kenya lists the 8GB + 256GB variant at KES 35,500. (Phones City Kenya)
• SmartTech Phones Kenya sells it for KES 35,999. (Smart Tech Phones)
• Phone Hub Kenya also offers it at KES 35,999. (Phone Hub Kenya)
• Zenex Technologies Kenya has it at KES 26,000 for a 4G model with the same storage/RAM specs. (Zenex Technologies)
• PSK Arena lists it for around KES 26,500. (pskarena.co.ke)
• Patabay Kenya has it for KES 36,200. (Patabay)
• Nairobi Laptops shows price about KES 35,400. (Nairobi Laptops)

So depending on store, spec, and whether it’s 4G or 5G, you can find the Note 40 Pro in the range of KES 26,000 to ~KES 36,500. The lower end tends to be older or 4G-only versions, while higher ones include newer chipsets or extras.

What Makes It Good Value

• You get fast display updates (120Hz), which is still rare for phones in the KES 30,000-35,000 range. That means smoother animations, better gaming touch response, and a more polished feel.
• The 108MP camera gives good detail in daylight, and with decent software processing it competes well for social media photography.
• Battery + fast wired/wireless charging is a strong combo—fast top-ups are appreciated.
• The build and design are decent; color variants and finish make it feel more premium than many in its bracket.
• Good storage (256GB) with 8GB RAM means fewer storage headaches, especially with media, apps and videos.

Who Should Consider It

• Users who want a phone that feels smooth (display + charging + camera) without spending flagship money.
• Content creators, social media users, vloggers who care about front camera, screen quality, and enough storage.
• People who value fast charging and a battery that lasts.
• Anyone okay with some tradeoffs (like lower build premium, modest performance under heavy gaming, and maybe less software longevity) in exchange for great everyday features.

Conclusion

The Infinix Note 40 Pro is underrated because it gives a lot of what people want—big display, high refresh rate, power camera, fast charging—for prices often in the KES 26,000–36,500 range in Kenya. If you match the variant (4G vs 5G) and make sure you buy from a reputable store with warranty, it’s a smart buy. It may not beat flagship phones in every way, but for what it offers at its price, it delivers value many phones costlier than this can’t match.
