Infinix unveils a branded NOTE 12 2023 (G99) for Russia with expanded storage and gaming collaboration
Infinix announced a limited promotional version of the NOTE 12 2023 (G99) specifically for the Russian market. This edition was developed in partnership with the creators of the popular mobile game Standoff 2 by Axlebolt. Alongside distinctive branding, the device ships with a substantial 256 GB of permanent storage, doubling the maximum capacity of the standard model which offers up to 128 GB.
As part of the launch promotion, the first 1,000 customers who purchase the NOTE 12 2023 (G99) in December and complete a designated form on the company’s website will receive 1,000 in-game currency units for Standoff 2. The campaign emphasizes a direct tie-in between the device and the gaming community, adding extra value for early buyers.
The branded variant is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, featuring a balanced 8-core CPU configuration. It incorporates two high-performance ARM Cortex-A76 cores running up to 2.2 GHz and six efficiency-focused ARM Cortex-A55 cores delivering up to 2.0 GHz. The Mali G57 GPU handles graphics tasks, enabling smoother visuals for gaming and multimedia use.
The device is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, with the option to expand further via a microSD card up to 2 TB for those who need additional space. On the imaging front, the back camera array includes a 50 MP main sensor paired with a 2 MP auxiliary sensor, while the front camera is 16 MP for selfies and video calls. The 5000 mAh battery supports a 33 W charging solution, aimed at keeping gamers and everyday users at work or play longer without frequent recharges.
In addition to its hardware, the branded NOTE 12 2023 (G99) comes pre-installed with the Monster Gaming Kit app. This software optimizes system resources to enhance gaming performance, mute non-essential notifications, and extend play time during intense gaming sessions. The collaboration with Axlebolt and Standoff 2 positioning signifies an emphasis on the growing intersection of mid-range devices and mobile esports, appealing to players who want strong performance without compromising price.
Unlike premium gaming phones, this model offers a practical balance of speed, memory, and battery life, making it a compelling option for fans of mobile shooters who also value everyday reliability, storage capacity, and battery endurance. The inclusion of a large storage option and gaming-oriented software highlights a broader strategy to attract budget-conscious buyers who still demand a smooth, responsive gaming experience on a daily basis.
For markets observing global device launches, such partnerships illustrate how manufacturers leverage popular game franchises to differentiate mid-range devices. This approach aligns with consumer expectations in Canada and the United States, where mobile gaming is a significant factor in purchasing decisions and where buyers look for devices that can handle modern titles without breaking the bank. The emphasis on expandable storage, a capable processor, ample RAM, and a robust battery reflects current trends toward versatile mid-range smartphones that can serve as both gaming machines and everyday companions.
