Without the need to break the bank, the Infinix Smart 10 Plus has set a new standard among budget-friendly phones. Right out of the box, the first impression of the phone is its lightweight feel coupled with a matte, shimmery finish, which not only provides a secure grip but also resists fingerprint smudges. The phone comes with a wired headphone and an 18W charger. 

Compared to rivals like the Redmi 14C, Realme Note 60, and Samsung A06, the Smart 10 Plus excels in battery capacity, display refresh rate, and AI features. 

Built with a casing made of a composite board back panel — this is essentially a type of plastic material, not metal (iron) or glass, which ensures enhanced protection against accidental drops. It comes with dual speakers and is available in stylish colours such as Ruby Red, Iris Blue, Sleek Black, and Titanium Silver.

Into the specifications:

The Smart 10 Plus has a 90.2% screen-to-body ratio, which is capable of delivering great visuals for browsing. The 120Hz refresh rate combined with up to 700 nits brightness ensures smooth scrolling and readability, even under direct sunlight.

The Smart 10 Plus is powered by the T7250 octa-core processor, which optimises for low power consumption and long-term performance. 

For its storage capability, the budget-friendly device comes with 128GB of internal storage and 4-8GB of RAM. In addition, it has expandable memory up to 2 TB. This combination, with its 240Hz touch sampling rate, contributes to a very responsive performance for users. 

The Smart 10 Plus’s battery life is one of its standout features. Powered by a 6000mAh battery and supported by 18W AI charging, this device promises long-lasting performance. You can have 47 hours of talk time if you are a light user, 24 hours for heavy users, and 12 hours for video streaming. 

The phone also comes with a suite of problem-solving AI tools, led by the popular Folax, Infinix’s assistant. Folax can help you handle multiple tasks, from making calls and creating schedules to answering your questions on the go. With a simple long press on the power button, you can activate Folax and give verbal instructions, just like you would with Siri.

The AI suite also includes features like AI Writing and summarising for drafting messages or condensing long articles, and AI Problem Solving, which lets users snap a photo of a question to get answers with step-by-step solutions. For accessibility, powered by Google, Live Caption provides real-time subtitles during videos, calls, and podcasts. Together, these tools turn the Smart 10 Plus into a reliable companion for work, learning, and daily life

For its camera, the Infinix Smart 10 Plus may not focus on high megapixel counts like some of its competitors, but it offers practical and creative camera features suited for everyday use. It comes equipped with an 8MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. 

What makes the camera experience stand out is its dual video mode, allowing you to record from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. This is perfect for vloggers, live streamers, or content creators who want to capture their reactions and surroundings at the same time, all without the hassle of switching between lenses mid-recording.

With an IP64 rating, the Smart 10 Plus offers protection against dust and water splashes, giving users a layer of confidence in unforeseen situations. 

If you want a phone that is durable and built for everyday the Infinix Smart 10 Plus is a solid choice.
