Infinix Smart Features Overview
This Android-powered device is one of the few entry-level smartphones that runs Android 7.0 Nougat. This is an advantage the device has over other devices in that category. Users can now get a test of the Android Nougat without breaking the bank.
On top the Android Nougat is XOS 2.2 Chameleon – the exclusive Infinix user interface which is said to improve overall user experience.
Infinix Smart (also known as Infinix X5010) is a 5-inch device. The device feature high-definition display with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. For a low priced 5-inch device, that is an impressive display.
The 8MP back camera and the 2MP front camera are not bad as well. Though nothing special, but they are good enough for regular selfies and day-to-day picture taking.
The new Infinix Smart is powered by MTK MT6580 chipset. The MT6580 chipset has quad-core processor and a processor speed of 1.3GHz. The chipset is based on ARM Cortex-A7 architecture and it features Mali-400 MP GPU.
The processor of the Smartphone is coupled with 1GB RAM and a 16GB internal storage. The storage capacity is expandable to up to 32GB with the help of a micro SD card.

My infinix smart is recently giving me headache. I cannot upload pictures on Facebook & other social media platforms except on WhatsApp. Also, sms doesn’t send but I can receive…
No wonder the price is just 26k, there is no good features. No 4G LTE, it’s 1GB Ram and the battery is not that high.
I want to buy the phone, hope i won’t regret buying it.
The only thing i hate about infinix smart is the 1GB RAM
Buy mine now hope is good one

I wonder why people are complaining about the price of this phone. The specs are not bad and I think it is worth the price. Compare the specs to other phones with similar specs and see for yourself.
Above all, it has an OTG facility!
When the battery becomes faulty or weak, what happens; how is changed.
You can visit any infinix shop outlets or calcare to have the battery replaced for you.

Yes, the Infinix Smart battery is inbuilt (non-removable)
Wat about d battery life
The Infinix Smart comes with 3060 mAh battery. For a device of that caliber, such battery capacity should do just fine.
I swear am confused oh is the camera that bad oh
I don’t see anything bad about the camera. 8MP camera is not bad for a phone of that range.
I want to ask a question admin, between Infinix and Gionee which is better to go for?
That depends on the particular phones you are comparing. Both brands are good have wide range of smaetphones.

You have a point Nnamdi.
Please where can I get the Infinix Smart in Ibadan and how much is the current price?
The phone is available on Jumia and it is currently selling for around NGN31,000.
I wonder what is smart about this Infinix smart. I seriously think the phone is overrated and should be selling for around 20k.
Well you may be right James, there is probably nothing “smart” about the phone except that it is a smartphone but the specs aren’t bad compared to its price range.
