Like most budget tablets available in India, Infinix's first tablet, the XPad, has been designed to focus on content consumption, with large displays accompanied by loudspeakers. But adding cellular connectivity at Rs. 12,999 (for the base 4GB + 128GB variant) means you can also place calls with it, adding extra value. We received the top-end 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant for this review, which is priced at Rs. 15,999, which is a competitive price tag for a budget tablet. Indeed, Infinix seems to have gotten the value quotient right from the get-go. However, what makes budget devices interesting is finding out where manufacturers cut corners. And boy, was I in for a few surprises!
The Infinix XPad has a very practical-looking metal unibody design which has a plastic insert at the top for better radio connectivity. There’s two speakers on each side (when held horizontally) and they deliver rich sound with sufficient bass for watching video content. Despite its compact dimensions the tablet is quite heavy and does not come with any accessories.
Performance is on par with the competition and just about delivers enough power for day-to-day requirements. Image quality of the front and rear camera is passable and meets the necessary requirements for a budget tablet as well.
Battery life is again average for a device at this price point and will last users a day of continuous video viewing. While it's nice to see a charger in the box, we did find the charging speeds to be average.
