Not too long ago, the Infinix Note 11 and Note 11 Pro were launched. But they didn’t gain as much popularity as their predecessor Infinix Note 10 Pro. However, the features and specs of the Note 12 series should make it a big success in the coming months.

Let us discuss both devices in detail here.

Note 12 Design and Display (D&D)

Design

Infinix has come up with yet another fascinating design for its Note series. Both devices have almost flat sides with round edges. Note 12 G88 is slightly thinner than the Note 12 G96. However, the difference is ignorable. You are not going to get a punch-hole selfie camera as this device comes with a notch display. The bezels are also a bit larger than their predecessors Note 11 and Note 11 pro.

The backside gives a frosty look. There isn’t any noise cancellation mic on the upper side. The bottom side has a speaker, charging port and a dedicated mic. The right side comes with volume control buttons and a fingerprint sensor.

Infinix Note 12 Series Camera Comparison

In the camera department, there is a downgrade. Note 11 Pro had a 64MP 1/1.72″ primary camera sensor but both Note 12 devices have 50MP 1/2.8” sensors. So, it might not be a device if you are looking for a camera upgrade from Infinix Note 11 Pro. Another missing feature is the telephoto camera that was available in the Note 11 Pro.

However, the selfie camera is the same and the video features are almost the same as well.
