Infinix Smart 10 review
It suits someone who prioritizes screen size and battery longevity over everything else—a user on a tight budget who is okay with slow charging and soft text. Anyone who benefits from a snappy interface, sharp display, or usable camera should look elsewhere, even if they have to spend €20 or €30 more."
This review is written with AI assistance from Infinix’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Infinix Smart 10, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.
Overview
The Infinix Smart 10 is a no-frills €60 phone built around a large 6.67-inch screen and a 5000 mAh battery. It handles everyday tasks fine, but the cameras are basic, charging is slow, and the display resolution is low for the screen size—worth it only if you prioritize screen real estate and battery longevity over anything else.
Design & build
At 187 g and 8.3 mm thick, the Smart 10 is solid in hand without being heavy, and the dual-SIM design with a dedicated microSD slot is practical. The glass front and plastic back are standard for this price, and the real surprise here is the IP64 rating paired with 1.5-meter drop resistance—features you typically see on phones costing twice as much. Water and dust protection at this cost is noteworthy, though IP64 means only splashes, not full submersion. It will survive daily accidents better than rivals.
Display
The 6.67-inch screen is the phone's primary selling point, and it delivers on size. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz panel, and the 700-nit peak brightness is enough to read outdoors in sunlight without squinting. The downside is resolution: 720 pixels across 6.67 inches yields 263 ppi, which is loose for text-heavy work or close reading. If you spend time in email, books, or fine details, this softness becomes obvious. For video, maps, and casual browsing, it is fine.
Performance
The Unisoc T7250 is an entry-level chip designed for light everyday tasks. Messaging, web browsing, and light social media work without hiccups. Switch to a 3D game, open a dozen background apps, or try to edit a video, and you will hit stutters and load delays. Android 15 Go Edition on 3 GB RAM is a tight fit; the 4 GB and 6 GB variants give more headroom, but even those will not make this phone snappy for heavy lifting. It is honest about what it is: a phone for people who check messages and news, not a device for gaming or creative work.
Camera
Both the 8 MP main and 8 MP selfie camera are straightforward: they capture daytime photos with flat color and soft detail, and lowlight shots are grainy. The 1440p video at 30 fps is usable for casual clips but not crisp or stable. You are not buying this phone for photography; anyone who cares about image quality should spend more. The flash helps indoors, but do not expect miracles from a 1.12 µm sensor.
Battery & charging
The 5000 mAh battery is the phone's second strength. With moderate use—messaging, light social media, calls, some video—expect about 1.5 days. Heavy streaming or gaming cuts that to a single day. The real friction is charging: 15W is slow by modern standards, even for entry-level phones. From empty, a full charge takes 2 to 3 hours. If you need a quick top-up during the day, you will wait. The upside is that the large battery means you are not charging daily, even if the charging itself is glacial.
Software
Android 15 with Go Edition optimizations keeps overhead low, which helps on 3 GB RAM variants. Infinix's XOS 15.1 customization is minimal and does not get in the way. Updates will be the usual story for a budget device: maybe one or two major versions before the phone stops receiving patches. For a €60 device, do not expect long-term support, but the current software is stable.
Value & verdict
At €60, the Smart 10 undercuts most rivals and includes IP64 durability, a large screen, and a battery that lasts days. The penalties are harsh: low-res display, weak performance, and glacial charging. It is not trying to be a premium device at a budget price—it is accepting hard trade-offs in exchange for a handful of strengths. The market for a 6.67-inch screen at this cost is real, and if you just need to call, message, and browse without strain, this phone does that. But if you upgrade from a phone with a sharper display or better performance, the step backward will sting.
Verdict
It suits someone who prioritizes screen size and battery longevity over everything else—a user on a tight budget who is okay with slow charging and soft text. Anyone who benefits from a snappy interface, sharp display, or usable camera should look elsewhere, even if they have to spend €20 or €30 more."
- Large 6.67-inch display with 120Hz refresh and 700 nits peak brightness makes scrolling smooth and outdoor use readable
- 5000 mAh battery stretches to about 1.5 days with moderate use, unlike many rivals in this price tier
- Dedicated microSD slot lets you expand storage without sacrificing a SIM, useful at 64GB base configurations
- IP64 protection and 1.5-meter drop resistance add durability you do not usually see at €60
- 720p resolution on a 6.67-inch screen leaves text and icons noticeably soft; 263 ppi density is visibly coarse for anyone upgrading from a sharper phone
- 15W charging takes 2–3 hours to fill the 5000 mAh battery, making it a slow top-up for a device you rely on daily
- Unisoc T7250 chipset handles basic browsing and messaging but lags hard under any sustained load—games stutter, apps take time to open
