Infinix Smart 10 Plus review
This phone suits anyone who values battery life and screen size over raw power or camera ambition, and who is willing to wait an hour to charge. Skip it if you game regularly, shoot photos you care about keeping, or need a phone that charges in 20 minutes.
This review is based on Infinix’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Infinix Smart 10 Plus, 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 Smart 10 Plus is a bare-bones budget phone that gets two things right: a massive 6000 mAh battery that lasts 1.5 days of normal use, and a bright 120Hz screen large enough for video without straining your eyes. Everything else—the 8MP cameras, the entry-level Unisoc chip, the 18W charging—is functional but forgettable, which is fine at EUR 70.
Design & Build
At 198g and 8mm thick, the Smart 10 Plus feels solid but not refined. The glass front and plastic back are a formula Infinix has used for years; it survives everyday bumps thanks to the IP64 rating and drop resistance up to 1.5m, so it will handle a tumble off a desk or brief rain without drama. The side-mounted fingerprint reader and dual-SIM tray are well-placed. It is neither light nor pocketable—this is a handheld tablet that demands a bag or large pocket—but the durability is genuine for a EUR 70 phone.
Display
The 6.67-inch IPS LCD is the phone's strongest suit. At 720p and 263 ppi, text is soft-edged and photos lose fine detail, which is a real step below the 1080p standard in the same tier. But 120Hz scrolling through feeds and web pages feels snappy rather than stuttering, and the 700-nit peak brightness (HBM) punches through sunlight without fading—a feature that matters far more than pixel density in bright climates. The 84.2% screen-to-body ratio is clean for a 2025 mid-budget phone.
Performance
The Unisoc T7250 is an entry-level chip that handles light work: messaging, email, video playback, light browsing. Apps open without major delay, and typical tasks feel responsive enough. Demanding games and heavy multitasking expose its limits—frame drops appear quickly, and running four or five apps at once creates noticeable lag. The Mali-G57 GPU is modest, and 4GB RAM on the base model tightens that ceiling further. This is not a phone for mobile gaming or power users, but for basic daily tasks on a tight budget, it does the job.
Camera
Both the 8MP rear and selfie cameras are functional but uninspired. The rear shoots 1440p video at 30fps with autofocus and a dual-LED flash, adequate for video calls and bright-daylight snapshots. In low light or detail-heavy scenes, the 1/4.0" sensor and 1.12µm pixels lose definition fast. No ultrawide or telephoto means you get only what the standard lens sees. Video at 1440p feels grainy compared to 1080p rivals with larger sensors. These are shoot-and-forget cameras, not creative tools.
Battery & Charging
The 6000 mAh battery is genuinely generous for the price and delivers real staying power. Light use—messaging, browsing, calls—stretches to 1.5 to 2 days; moderate mixed use hits a comfortable full day. Heavy video streaming drains faster, closer to a day. The 18W wired charging refills the tank in about 60 to 90 minutes, which is slow by 2025 standards (rivals at this price often hit 30W or higher), so overnight or mealtime charging is the rhythm you will settle into. Reverse wired charging is advertised but rarely useful on a budget phone.
Software & Connectivity
Android 15 with Infinix's XOS 15.1 skin runs cleanly without heavy bloat. The phone supports LTE bands across most of the globe, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC for data transfer, and FM radio—a useful combo for global and offline-heavy users. No 5G, which is fine at this price point. Bluetooth, GPS, and standard sensors round out the suite. It is a connectivity-first device, not a 5G-forward one.
Value & Verdict
At EUR 70, the Smart 10 Plus targets buyers in low-income regions who need a phone with reliability and all-day endurance over speed or camera prowess. The large bright screen and enormous battery are genuinely useful; the rest is baseline. You are not paying for style, gaming muscle, or photo quality—you are paying for a durable, long-lasting way to stay connected. It undercuts rivals with weaker batteries or dimmer screens, and the durability features (IP64, drop-safe, headphone jack, microSD) sweeten the deal. The Unisoc chip and 8MP cameras are drawbacks only if you expect more than you should from EUR 70.
Verdict
This phone suits anyone who values battery life and screen size over raw power or camera ambition, and who is willing to wait an hour to charge. Skip it if you game regularly, shoot photos you care about keeping, or need a phone that charges in 20 minutes.
- 6000 mAh battery delivers roughly 1.5 to 2 days of real-world use on light tasks
- 6.67-inch 120Hz IPS LCD with 700-nit brightness handles sunlight and scrolling without pain
- IP64 dust and water splash resistance plus 1.5m drop durability for a phone at this price
- Dedicated microSDXC slot and headphone jack still here, plus FM radio and NFC for those who use them
- 8MP rear and selfie cameras lack zoom or ultrawide, and 1440p video is low-detail; fine for snaps and calls, weak for anything you'd want to keep
- 18W charging takes 60–90 minutes full, so no quick refills despite the large battery
- Unisoc T7250 is entry-level and stumbles with demanding games or heavy multitasking; expect lags if you push it
