Infinix has launched the NOTE 40 Racing Edition in partnership with BMW Group Designworks. This partnership focused on the design of the phone’s back cover, with an emphasis on materials, color, and finish, bringing a racing-inspired aesthetic to the device. This release marks the second time Infinix and BMW Group Designworks have worked together, showcasing their mutual focus on innovative design and performance.
Design and Build of the NOTE 40 Racing Edition
The NOTE 40 Racing Edition stands out with its unique “Wings of Speed” design, featuring sleek, streamlined lines created through advanced UV transfer printing. These lines not only contribute to the phone’s aesthetic but also enhance grip and create subtle shadow effects when interacting with light. The phone is constructed using premium composite materials, which give it a glossy finish while maintaining a lightweight feel. Additionally, the silver finish with a metallic luster adds to the device’s sense of lightness, while the iconic tri-color racing symbols near the camera frame introduce dynamic color accents.
The design philosophy was emphasized by Lake Hu, CMO at Infinix, who stated, “Our continued partnership with BMW Group Designworks pushes the boundaries of mobile design, redefining excellence. Speed is not just a metric; it’s an attitude. The Racing Edition embodies this spirit with speed-inspired aesthetics, legendary design, and cutting-edge technology delivering an unmatched experience to customers worldwide.”
Similarly, Cece Chen, Senior CMF Designer at BMW Group Designworks, noted, “The Racing Edition shows off the joint passion between Infinix and Designworks for high performance and our collective commitment to pushing limits and embracing speed. At Designworks, high-performance design is our expertise. The creation of the NOTE 40 Series Racing Edition allowed us to advance the concepts of speed and sportiness in design through innovative shapes and dynamic craftsmanship.”

The display on the Racing Edition is a 3D curved 120Hz AMOLED screen, which promises vibrant and smooth visuals. For photography enthusiasts, the phone comes equipped with a 108MP super-zoom camera system, complete with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), ensuring sharp and detailed images. The Active Halo AI lighting and audio tuning by JBL further enhance the multimedia experience.
