Infinix Note 40 Racing Edition design
Infinix has partnered with Design Works, a BMW Group company to design this phone. The design includes:
- The rear surface has a glossy finish, made with PC+PMMA (organic glass) materials and a UV transfer printing process.
- You can see “silk-screened mirror-faced silver logos” on the back.
- The rear camera panel setup appears similar to the Note 40 Pro+ but there is a BMW tricolour insignia.
- On the front, the wallpaper, UI and icons are custom-themed to match the special edition feel. The aesthetics extend to the box and other inbox contents too.
