Infinix has officially launched the NOTE Edge in Kenya, marking the global debut of the world’s first smartphone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G platform and running on the all-new Android 16 with XOS 16. The launch signals a major shift in smartphone innovation, placing long-term reliability, intelligent performance and battery longevity at the centre of everyday mobile experience.
Designed around Infinix’s new “Dream Booster” concept built for people’s work and life, the NOTE Edge is engineered to support modern digital lifestyles that demand constant connectivity, content creation and productivity without compromise. The device blends premium curved-screen design with powerful 5G performance, advanced AI functions and industry-leading battery technology in an ultra-slim 7.2mm body. At the heart of the NOTE Edge is the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, making its first commercial appearance worldwide. Built for sustained efficiency rather than short bursts of peak performance, the platform delivers smooth gaming, streaming and multitasking while maintaining low energy consumption — ideal for users who rely on their smartphones throughout long, demanding days.Adding a powerful human-interest dimension to the launch, Infinix is also spotlighting the inspiring journey of Sabrina Simader, Kenya’s first-ever female Winter Olympian, who returns to witness the Winter Olympics 2026 in Milano Cortina, powered by the Infinix NOTE Edge. Having broken barriers for athletes from tropical nations when she first competed on the global snow stage, Sabrina now comes back as a symbol of resilience, legacy and possibility — capturing, reflecting on and sharing the next generation of Olympic moments through Infinix’s latest innovation. Her story will later be expanded into a standalone feature highlighting how technology continues to support bold dreams across new frontiers.
One of the defining innovations of the NOTE Edge is its self-healing battery technology paired with a massive 6,150mAh capacity, the largest introduced by Infinix in Kenya. The intelligent battery system actively repairs micro-damage during charging cycles, maintaining over 80 per cent capacity even after 2,000 full charges — equivalent to up to six years of everyday use. This ensures consistent all-day power while significantly extending the device’s lifespan.
Running Android 16 with XOS 16, the NOTE Edge integrates AI-powered smart functions designed to simplify daily tasks, enhance content creation and improve real-time performance. From intelligent system optimisation to AI-assisted productivity tools and imaging enhancements, the device delivers a seamless and responsive user experience tailored to modern needs.
Commenting on the launch, an Infinix Kenya spokesperson said the company is responding to a growing demand for smartphones that deliver long-term value rather than short-term performance peaks. “Kenyan consumers are increasingly focused on reliability, battery endurance and how long their phones remain secure and useful. The NOTE Edge reflects this shift, combining world-first technology with intelligent features that truly support everyday life.
”The NOTE Edge houses Infinix’s largest-ever 6150mAh battery to be introduced in Kenya, supporting 25.42 hours of continuous Google Maps navigation or 20.9 hours of YouTube playback for true all-day peace of mind.
Thanks to industry-leading battery packaging, this massive capacity fits into a slim 7.2mm-thick, 185g body, offering effortless one-handed grip, easy pocket portability, and minimal added bulk for all-day use.
Running the all-new XOS 16 based on Android 16, the NOTE Edge integrates Glow Space natural light elements for a lightweight, immersive visual feel with fluid, responsive operation. Up to 8GB of RAM ensures lag-free multitasking, even under heavy loads like office apps and social feeds, fluidity that’s further complemented by Perception Scheduling 3.0 optimization and optional MemFusion RAM extension to 16GB.
The NOTE Edge also comes with a commitment to three major Android-based XOS upgrades and five years of security updates, reinforcing Infinix’s focus on long-term software support and digital safety.Priced from KES 32,999, the Infinix NOTE Edge is now available across authorised retail outlets nationwide, bringing premium 5G performance, AI innovation and self-healing battery technology to consumers at an accessible price point.
