| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Impressive sleek design, with a glossy gradient finish at the back
- Quite lightweight at 155 grams, and due to its compact size, it fits into the hand perfectly
- Fast fingerprint scanner - apart from unlocking the phones, it also allows you to take photos, accept calls, browse through pictures, and dismiss alarms using gestures
- Fast face unlock
- Modern, vibrant, 6.26-inch water-drop notch display, with good viewing angles
- Sunlight legibility is especially good, unlike many other budget phones
- Eye care mode allows for a comfortable reading experience at night
- Infinix's custom XOS UI has a decent set of additional features, including XClub (customer forum), XHide (to hide pictures, videos), Phone Master app (to free up RAM to boost performance), gesture support, and a smart panel to the left of the first home screen
- You can also do plenty of UI customisations with the XTheme app
- Decent performance in day-to-day use with a modest Helio P22 (similar to Snapdragon 625) at the core
- Decent triple camera setup on the rear - 13MP primary camera + 8MP ultra-wide camera + 2MP depth camera - one of the rare phones to offer a triple camera setup in this price bracket
- Daylight shots are above average with good clarity and overall colour reproduction - the phone also does an excellent job of capturing macro shots
- Auto-focus is fast
- The quality of the wide-angle camera is decent too, and it gives you interesting picture framing options, especially when shooting landscapes
- Good 32MP front camera - takes clear and crisp selfies - and is pretty decent in indoor lighting as well
- Both rear and front cameras also have a decent bokeh mode
- Overall, this is one of the best camera setups in this price bracket
- Very good battery life with a large 4000mAh battery - you can expect a day and a half of use with moderate usage
- Overall, despite a modest processor, the phone is one of the better contenders in the entry-level budget segment - with 2 key USPs - a good battery life and a good camera setup - if you are a light smartphone user, and not into gaming, it's certainly worth considering - if however you are more of a power user, you should look at alternatives from Xiaomi and Realme
|
- Good looking, premium design, with a glossy mirror finish on the back panel
- Lightweight
- Fits comfortably in the hand
- Decent, fast rear fingerprint sensor
- Good, modern, water-drop notch, 6.21-inch display - it offers some good colour reproduction and viewing angles
- XOS UI is pretty decent, works smoothly, and comes loaded with some interesting features
- Decent day-to-day performance with a Helio A22 at the core (similar to Snapdragon 615) processor - light users will be happy (though power users will want to look elsewhere)
- Triple camera setup at the rear, which is a rarity for this price segment - includes a primary camera + depth sensor + low-light sensor
- Decent daylight performance from the rear camera set, with good detailing
- Macro shots are pretty good too
- Decent selfie camera too - the selfies look natural and have a decent amount of detail with punchy colours
- For this price point, this is one of the better camera phones
- Good battery life with a 3500mAh battery - you will comfortably get a day of use
- Decent charging speed - the phone can be charged from 0 to 100 per cent in about 1 hour and 30 minutes
- Overall, the Infinix Smart 3 is an attractive choice for this price bracket, if you are fine with just-about-ok performance, and want to instead prioritise the camera
|
| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- Due to its glossy finish, the phone attracts lots of smudges at the back panel (though Infinix does thankfully ship a TPU case in the box)
- There is unfortunately plenty of bloatware too, as is often the case with such custom UIs
- There is plenty of competition though that packs better processors in this price bracket (especially from Xiaomi and Realme), and will give much smoother gaming performance - so if you are a power user, then the S4 might not be your best choice
- Low light performance of the rear cameras is average
|
- The back panel is prone to smudges (though thankfully, the company has given a bundled protective case)
- There is plenty of pre-installed bloatware though, a problem that plagues a lot of such custom UIs
- Multi-tasking performance is limited though because of the limited 2GB of RAM - again, the device is only meant for light users
- Both the rear and front cameras have significant shutter lag though, so if you don't keep a steady hand, you can sometimes end up with blurry photos
- Low light performance of the rear camera is only average (even with the low-light sensor)
- If you do care more about performance more, look at options from Xiaomi or Realme instead
