The Infinix Note 6 is a 2019 phone. It has been discontinued, and it shipped with Android 9 Pie, so it is far behind on Android versions and security patches. Its current successors are the Infinix Note 60 and Note 60 Pro from 2026, which run Android 16 with XOS 16 and do not come with a stylus. If you are buying today, check the software support and battery health of any used Note 6 first, and compare it with a current Note model before you spend money on old stock.
The rest of this page covers the Note 6 as it launched in mid-2019, with specs and prices checked against current listings.
Infinix Note 6 at a glance:
- Specs: a balanced set for its time, neither very high nor very low.
- Price: at launch the stylus phone was not a budget buy, but it cost less than the Note 5 was selling for at some Nigerian retailers.
- Availability: in 2019 it sold through retail shops in Nigeria, Kenya and other Infinix markets.

Infinix Note 6: Introduction
Infinix Mobility announced the Note 6 in June 2019, and it launched in Nigeria in July 2019. There was no separate Note 6 Stylus model. The pen came in the box with the standard Note 6 instead.
That makes the Note 6 the successor to both the Note 5 Stylus and the Note 5, and its spec sheet is stronger than either one.
The Note 6 does share a lot with the Note 5, though, so some Note 5 owners had little reason to upgrade.
Infinix Note 6: Review
This review is based on the official spec sheet and published launch coverage. It is not a hands-on test.
Body
The Note 6 has a slim, tidy design. It measures 154.2 x 74.5 x 7.7 mm and weighs about 173 g in GSMArena’s listing. Other spec databases give a few grams more.
At 7.7 mm it was about as thin as most phones of 2019. With the 6.01-inch screen, the overall size felt comfortable and fairly premium.
The included X-Pen stylus was the headline feature. Infinix pitched it for note-taking, sketching and its AI and AR pen tricks.
Screen and resolution
The Note 6 has a 6.01-inch screen. In 2019 that was a normal size for a mid-range phone.
The resolution is Full HD+ at 1080 x 2160 pixels, roughly 402 pixels per inch, so text and video look sharp.
The panel is AMOLED, which was unusual in this price range then. AMOLED gives deeper blacks and stronger contrast than the LCD on the Note 5. Combined with the Full HD+ resolution, it makes the Note 6 a good phone for watching video.
Operating system (OS)
Infinix, a brand owned by Transsion Holdings, shipped the Note 6 with Android 9 Pie, which was the current version of Android at the time.
On top of Android it runs Infinix’s own XOS 5.0 Cheetah interface, which adds extra features and customisation.
Unlike the Note 5 and Note 5 Stylus, which ran Android One with close-to-stock software, the Note 6 is not an Android One phone. That matters now. Android One phones got a promise of regular updates, and the Note 6 had no such promise. Today it is far behind current Android versions and security patches.
System on chip (SoC)
The Note 6 uses the same chip as its sister phone from Tecno, which Transsion also owns.
Both the Note 6 and the Tecno Phantom 9 use MediaTek’s mid-range Helio P35 (MT6765). The Phantom 9 pairs it with a larger 6.4-inch AMOLED screen and 6GB of RAM.
The Helio P35 has an octa-core CPU with Cortex-A53 cores running at up to 2.3GHz, and a PowerVR GE8320 GPU.
It handles everyday apps well enough but does not feel fast. Reviewers of the Phantom 9 named the same chip as that phone’s weak point. In 2026 it struggles with current apps and games.
Storage
Memory is one of the Note 6’s strongest areas.
It has 4GB of RAM, enough to switch between a few open apps smoothly in 2019.
Internal storage is 64GB, plenty for documents, photos and apps at the time.
A dedicated microSD slot lets you add up to 128GB more storage.
Overall, the memory and storage are solid for a mid-range phone of its era.
Camera
Apart from the stylus, the AMOLED screen and the newer software, the camera was the main reason to upgrade.
The Note 6 has four cameras: three on the back and one on the front.
The rear cameras are:
- 16MP main camera
- 8MP ultrawide camera
- 2MP depth sensor
The front camera is 16MP with AI features and a low-light mode.
Battery
Battery life is decent.
The Note 6 has a 4,000mAh battery. That is the same as the Note 5 Stylus but less than the 4,500mAh in the Note 5.
The smaller battery makes more sense once you look at the screens. The Note 5 uses a 6.0-inch IPS LCD, while the Note 6 uses AMOLED, which usually uses less power, especially with dark themes and dark content. On any Note 6 still in use, the age of the battery will matter more than its rated capacity.

Infinix Note 6: Verdict
Verdict
In 2019 the Note 6 had good specs in almost every area, and the bundled stylus made it stand out from other mid-range phones.
At launch it was a good option, especially if you wanted a pen without paying Samsung Galaxy Note prices.
Note 5 owners had three main reasons to upgrade: the camera, the newer software and the faster chipset.
That advice no longer holds. A 2019 phone stuck on old Android and a Helio P35 chip is a poor main phone in 2026. It is worth buying only as a very cheap backup or second phone, and only after checking the battery and screen.
Infinix Note 6: Price and Availability
Price at launch (2019): Pocketnow reported a price of about $200. In Nigeria, retailers listed it at around ₦65,000, and some later listings went as high as ₦85,000. In Kenya, Infinix sold it from Ksh 21,799 when it arrived in September 2019.
Availability today: The Note 6 is discontinued, so you will mostly find used or refurbished units. Check it here for any remaining listings, and compare the asking price with a current Infinix Note model before you buy. Price trackers sometimes show high leftover figures that do not reflect what the phone is worth today.
What replaced it: The Infinix Note 60 was announced in February 2026. It has a 6.78-inch display, a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate chip and 8GB of RAM, and it runs Android 16 with XOS 16. The Note 60 Pro, which launched in India in April 2026 from ₹31,999, uses a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip with a 6,500mAh battery and 90W wired charging. Neither one comes with a stylus.

Does the Infinix Note 6 come with a stylus?
Yes. The X-Pen stylus comes in the box. Infinix did not release a separate stylus model for this generation, so every Note 6 includes the pen.
Is the Infinix Note 6 still getting updates?
No. It launched with Android 9 Pie and XOS 5.0 Cheetah and has been discontinued for years. Without current security patches, it is a risky main phone for banking and payment apps.
How much RAM and storage does the Infinix Note 6 have?
It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. A dedicated microSD slot adds up to 128GB more.
What is the difference between the Infinix Note 6 and Note 5?
The Note 6 has an AMOLED screen, a Helio P35 chip, a triple rear camera, XOS on Android 9 and a bundled stylus. The Note 5 has a 6.0-inch IPS LCD, a Helio P23 chip and Android One software. The Note 5 also has a bigger 4,500mAh battery, against 4,000mAh in the Note 6.
What is the latest Infinix Note phone?
The current models are the Note 60 and Note 60 Pro, both announced in February 2026. They run Android 16 with XOS 16, and the Pro has a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and a 6,500mAh battery.
Should you buy an Infinix Note 6 in 2026?
Only as a cheap backup phone. The Helio P35 struggles with current apps, and any used unit will have an aged battery. For a main phone, a current Infinix Note or Hot model is the better buy.
