Infinix Smart 5

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Infinix Smart 5 at Rs 15,999 delivers 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage at a competitive price, though its processor lags behind similarly priced competitors. The Helio A20 is a 12 nm chip that handles basic tasks without significant drama, though the PowerVR GE8320 GPU struggles with gaming. The 6.6-inch display at 266 PPI is comfortable for reading and browsing, and the 5000 mAh battery provides standard all-day endurance. The triple-camera system with a 13 MP main sensor captures decent daylight photos, though the two QVGA secondary sensors add minimal practical value. The 8 MP selfie camera with dual LED flash is useful for low-light selfies. With 3 GB of RAM, the phone handles two to three apps simultaneously without constant reloading. The 64 GB of storage is generous for the price. At 165.4 mm tall and 8.8 mm thick, this is a standard-sized phone. This model suits budget-focused buyers who want adequate RAM and storage without paying flagship prices. The Villaon V50s at Rs 21,399 costs Rs 5,400 more but offers 4 GB of RAM expandable to 8 GB, though the Smart 5's 3 GB of dedicated physical memory is a better baseline than many competitors. The Infinix's 13 MP camera also captures more detail than the Villaon's 8 MP unit. The Smart 5's 5000 mAh battery outlasts the Villaon's 4000 mAh cell. Storage is tied at 64 GB. For buyers who want the most affordable phone with 3 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, the Infinix Smart 5 delivers genuine value; the Villaon appeals to those who want expandable RAM and are willing to pay a premium.
