The Infinix Smart 5 was launched recently in the sub-Rs. 8,000 price segment as the newest addition to the Smart series. When I unboxed this smartphone, I was surprised to see how big it is, thanks to the bigger-than-usual battery capacity, considering its price. The Smart 5 has some decent specifications on paper, and an attractive starting price of just Rs. 7,199. Does that make it the best pick for those on a very tight budget? I put the Infinix Smart 5 to the test to find out.
The Smart 5 is a budget offering from Infinix with a big 6.82-inch HD+ display with a dewdrop notch. It also has a selfie flash that is common on Infinix smartphones at the front. The Smart 5 is heavy and has a 207g because of its big 6,000mAh battery. It has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that’s slightly higher than ideal.
It is powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 octa-core processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The performance might disappoint heavy users while casual users should not face any issues with the device performance. The phone runs Android 10 with Infinix's custom XOS 7 UI on top.
You get a dual camera setup with a 13-megapixel primary camera and a depth sensor. Photo quality is strictly average for the price. Lowlight camera performance lacked sharpness and colour accuracy. Overall, the Smart 5 is for those with casual usage and a strict budget.
