Infinix is set to launch the Note 50s 5G+ in India on April 18. Although this device is positioned in the mid-range segment, it is attracting interest due to a unique feature rarely found in smartphones—a rear panel that emits fragrance.
Scent-Enabled Back Panel
The company has introduced a distinctive scent-release technology called Scent-Tech for the Note 50s 5G+. This innovative approach utilizes microencapsulation, which involves encasing fragrance molecules within tiny capsules. These capsules are integrated into the synthetic leather surface of the phone’s back panel.
As time passes, these capsules slowly release a gentle scent into the air. Infinix describes the fragrance as subtle and continuous, designed to be pleasant without being overpowering. The company estimates that the scent will last for approximately six months, although its longevity and intensity may vary based on environmental factors like temperature and humidity, as well as the frequency of device usage.
Limited to One Color Option
The phone will be available in three color options, but the scent-emitting back panel will only be offered with the Marine Drift Blue variant. The other two colors will not include this fragrance feature.
Pricing Expectations
The Infinix Note 50s 5G+ is expected to be priced under INR 20,000, aligning it with other entry-level to mid-range smartphones in India. While specific details about the device’s specifications remain undisclosed, the addition of this scent-emitting capability indicates that Infinix aims to provide a unique experience beyond standard hardware enhancements.
Many Unanswered Questions
Currently, Infinix has not revealed detailed specifications for the Note 50s 5G+, such as the processor, display resolution, battery capacity, or software version. It is also uncertain whether users will have the option to refill, replace, or disable the scent feature.
The idea of incorporating fragrance into a smartphone may prompt practical considerations, such as how the scent interacts with everyday use and its durability in different climates. The feature’s appeal or skepticism will likely depend on how well it performs in real-world usage after launch.
