The colors were also standout that I frankly did not feel the difference when switching phones.</p><p>The unit has a clear and high resolution screen that&#x27;s good enough not just for playing Mobile Legends (or other games at that) but also for binge-watching on Netflix or watching YouTube.</p><p>Aside from a good screen, consumers nowadays expect a good camera even on budget phones.</p><p>The Infinix NOTE 12 also did not fall short in terms of photos and videos.</p><p>Its 50-megapixel Ultra Night Camera comes equipped with a depth and AI lens. Note though that you need to turn on 50 MP mode on the camera setting to make sure you&#x27;re getting the best resolution from the phone. </p><p>Despite the cloudy setting, it was able to capture the sky, trees and other colors from the outdoor photos below. </p><p>It also has its own short-video sharing app with easy to use creation tool.</p><p>The depth of field effect of its camera is also useful for influencers in taking food shots and for other &quot;Instagrammable&quot; posts.</p><p>In terms of performance, I haven&#x27;t experienced any hiccups. I&#x27;m also not a heavy user. But for those looking for powerful performance, the Infinix NOTE 12 is powered by MediaTek Helio G96 Ultra Gaming Processor.</p><p>It said its octa-core processor incorporates two Cortex-A76 processor cores up to 2.05 GHz and Mali-G57 GPU. </p><p>Infinix NOTE 12 also said &quot;there is no game too heavy&quot; for the new model. Its 8GB memory is expandable to 13GB.</p><p>Long hours of gaming, binge-watching or any other use are not a problem for the NOTE 12&#x27;s 33W fast charger and its 5,000 mAh battery.</p><p>The unit comes with a charger plug and cable, a jelly case and a gaming voucher.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="What" s="" inside="" the="" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/box.jpg"/><figcaption>What&#x27;s inside the box.</figcaption></figure></div><p>The 256GB variant retails for P9,990 while the 128GB is available for P8,990.</p><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/infinix1.jpg"/></div><div><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/infinix2.jpg"/></div><div><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/infinix3.jpg"/></div><div><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/infinix4.jpg"/></div><div><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/infinix5.jpg"/></div><div><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/business/07/30/infinix6.jpg"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Photos taken using the Infinix NOTE 12</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Photos taken using the Infinix NOTE 12</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Photos taken using the Infinix NOTE 12</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Photos taken using the Infinix NOTE 12</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Photos taken using the Infinix NOTE 12</cite></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div><cite>Photos taken using the Infinix NOTE 12</cite></div></div></div></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1643305" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
