Infinix Smart 10: Infinix has launched its latest budget smartphone Infinix Smart 10 in India today, 25 July 2025, exclusively on Flipkart. This phone comes with the promise of delivering amazing features at a low price. The company claims that this device will perform smoothly without any lag for four years. Talking about its price, there are rumors that its starting price can be between ₹ 6,499 to ₹ 9,999, that is, it can be found under ₹ 10,000 – which is a big deal in today’s time.

Infinix is ​​focusing on three things in India with this phone – speed, affordable price and AI-rich smart user experience. The Smart 10 has a large 6.67-inch IPS LCD display, with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 700 nits brightness – which is often seen in mid-range phones. The punch hole design of the display from above gives it an even more premium look.

Hardware That Punches Above Its Weight Class

Inside this phone, you will get Unisoc’s T7250 octa-core chipset, which is built on 12nm technology. It has Mali-G57 graphics which is enough for daily use and normal gaming. The special thing is that this phone has got TÜV SÜD certification – that is, the company is guaranteeing that it will run without lag for four years. This promise is being made for the first time in a budget phone.

While the base variant will get 3GB RAM and 64GB storage, some variants will also have the option of up to 4GB RAM and 256GB storage. Along with this, the feature of virtual RAM will also be available, due to which the total RAM can be expanded up to 8GB. It has a 5,000mAh battery, which supports 15W fast charging. The company claims that this phone can give 28 days of standby time, 40 hours of calling and up to 100 hours of music playback – meaning you charged it once and became tension free.

Cameras Tailored for Budget Creators

Talking about the camera, there is a dual camera setup at the back with an 8MP primary camera and LED flash. This camera can record video in 2K at 30fps. An 8MP camera is also provided on the front, that too with LED flash – which is rarely seen in this price range.

Features like Pro Mode and Dual Video Mode are also provided in it, which will give content creators a chance to do something unique. That is, you can record video with the front and rear camera simultaneously, which is great for social media users.

Durability Beyond Expectations

The strength of Infinix Smart 10 is also its biggest USP. This phone has IP64 dust and splash resistance – that is, the phone will be safe from light rain and dust. Its back panel has been made scratch resistant and the company claims that this phone has been drop tested 25,000 times from 6 different angles from 1.5 meters. Such features are usually found only in expensive phones, but Infinix has brought it to the budget.

AI, Software and Accessibility: More Than Just Android

The phone has XOS 15 based on Android 15, in which you will get many AI tools. It has smart features like Folax AI Assistant, Document Assistant, Writing Assistant and AI Wallpaper Generator. For this, there is also a dedicated AI button in the phone, by pressing which all the AI features are activated.

These AI tools were started by Infinix with its Hot 60 5G + phone, and now it is being brought to the budget segment as well – which is quite commendable.

Apart from this, the phone also has dual stereo speakers, side mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC (in some variants) and UltraLink connectivity. With the help of UltraLink, calling between Infinix devices remains smooth even in weak network.

Fit and Feel: Size, Weight and Build

The size of Infinix Smart 10 is 165.6 x 77 x 8.3mm and its weight is around 187 grams. Because of this, the phone will neither feel too heavy nor too big to hold in the hand.

The body of the phone is made of plastic, but it also has scratch resistance and strong grip. This phone will come in four great colors – Sleek Black, Iris Blue, Titanium Silver and Twilight Gold – so that every user can choose their favorite color.

The Strategic Vision: Widening the Budget Landscape

Infinix has made its goal very clear with this phone – to change the definition of affordable smartphone in India. Infinix’s Smart series was also priced between ₹7,000 – ₹9,000, but with the Smart 10, the brand has now brought specifications like 120Hz display, big battery, AI features and robust build to the budget segment – which challenges phones above ₹10,000.

The phone will currently be available online only on Flipkart, and its microsite is also live. Meaning the company is directly targeting first-time users and those looking to upgrade.

Legacy and Competition

The Infinix Smart 10 will compete directly with budget phones from brands like Tecno Pop 10, POCO C-series, and Redmi–Realme. But compared to these brands, the things offered in the Smart 10 – like AI tools, TÜV certification and 120Hz display – are not available in phones from other brands. If the price of this phone really remains below ₹ 10,000, then other companies will have to make a big change in their strategy.

Critics and Potential Concerns

Now talking about some potential weaknesses, some users and reviewers say that the 8MP sensor is a bit weak about the camera – especially in low-light and detail.

Also, the Unisoc T7250 chipset, which is enough for daily tasks, but heavy gaming or multitasking can be a bit difficult – as it is not as powerful as the top-end processors from MediaTek or Qualcomm.

The company is talking about TÜV certification, but only time will tell how the actual performance will be for four years.

Final Thoughts: A Powerful Statement

With the launch of Infinix Smart 10, the company has made it clear that you do not need to spend a lot of money to get a good smartphone. It showed that AI features, big display, smooth performance, and strong build can all be found within ₹6,499–₹9,999.

With Android 15, XOS 15, this phone not only looks smart but also performs smartly. Now it remains to be seen how well this phone lives up to all its claims after the launch – but for now, it can definitely be said that Infinix Smart 10 is going to shake up the budget smartphone market in India.
