Infinix has officially launched its Smart 10 series, expanding its entry-level smartphone lineup with three new models: the Smart 10, Smart 10 Plus, and Smart 10 HD. Designed for users on a budget, the new devices pack impressive features like high-refresh-rate displays, DTS-tuned dual speakers, large batteries, and stylish color options — all at affordable prices.

Display and Design: Big Screens with Smooth Refresh Rates

All three models feature a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+ resolution and up to 700 nits peak brightness, providing ample visibility even under direct sunlight. Where they differ is in refresh rates:

• Smart 10 and Smart 10 Plus boast 120Hz refresh rates for smoother scrolling and transitions.

• Smart 10 HD settles for a still-respectable 90Hz panel.

These displays are complemented by dual DTS-tuned speakers, providing stereo sound and a special 300% volume boost mode that enhances audio clarity and loudness — a rare inclusion at this price tier.

Hardware: Same Chipset Across the Lineup

Powering all three devices is the Unisoc T7250 chipset (also known as T615), a competent entry-level SoC. Infinix offers RAM options up to 8GB, with internal storage going as high as 256GB. Each model supports microSD expansion and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, ensuring flexibility for media consumption and storage needs.

Camera Capabilities: Basic Yet Functional

• Smart 10 and Smart 10 Plus are equipped with 8MP rear cameras and 8MP front-facing selfie shooters.

• The Smart 10 HD steps up slightly with a 13MP primary sensor supported by an AI lens, along with the same 8MP selfie camera.

While the camera hardware is modest, it caters to casual photography and social media usage — exactly what’s expected at this price range.

Battery and Charging: Size and Speed Vary

Battery life is another key differentiator among the trio:

• Smart 10 Plus leads with a 6,000mAh battery and 18W fast charging support.

• Smart 10 features a 5,000mAh cell and 15W charging.

• Smart 10 HD also includes a 5,000mAh battery but only supports 10W charging.

Both Smart 10 and Smart 10 Plus come with IP64-rated protection against dust and water splashes, adding some durability to their value proposition.

Software: Android 14 and 15 with XOS Skin

The phones ship with different software versions:

• Smart 10 and Smart 10 Plus run XOS 15.1 based on Android 15.

• Smart 10 HD boots XOS 13 based on Android 14 Go Edition, which is optimized for devices with lower memory.

XOS brings several enhancements such as power-saving modes, visual customizations, and pre-installed utility apps aimed at improving the user experience on entry-level hardware.
