Friends+Design
- Good looking, premium design, with a glossy mirror finish on the back panel
- Lightweight
- Fits comfortably in your hand
- Decent 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
- Cheetah 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 because of the limited 2GB of RAM
Camera
- Decent daylight performance from the rear camera set, with decent detailing
- Macro shots are good too
- Low light performance of the rear camera is average though - the photos come out to be grainy, and there is significant shutter lag
- Average selfie camera - in daylight shots too, the background tends to be sometimes overexposed
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 decent choice in this price bracket, and can be a good daily driver
