2-Minute Review

Let's cut through the noise, and get to the crux of it. 5 Expert Reviews analysed and summarised by the PhoneCurry Editorial Team, in a short and sweet 2-minute review.

Design

Good looking, premium design, with a glossy mirror finish on the back panel
Lightweight
Fits comfortably in the hand
Decent, fast rear fingerprint sensor
The back panel is prone to smudges (though thankfully, the company has given a bundled protective case)

Display

Good, modern, water-drop notch, 6.21-inch display - it offers some good colour reproduction and viewing angles

Software

XOS UI is pretty decent, works smoothly, and comes loaded with some interesting features
There is plenty of pre-installed bloatware though, a problem that plagues a lot of such custom UIs

Performance

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)
Multi-tasking performance is limited though because of the limited 2GB of RAM - again, the device is only meant for light users

Camera

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
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)

Battery

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

Verdict

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
If you do care more about performance more, look at options from Xiaomi or Realme instead
