Infinix Smart 6 3GB

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Infinix Smart 6 3GB at Rs 23,999 is the most basic smartphone on this list, and its specifications reflect that positioning. The Unisoc SC9863A processor is built on a 28 nm process — older and less efficient than the 12 nm chips found in slightly pricier phones — which means it runs warm under load and drains the battery faster than you might expect. The 3 GB of RAM is the most critical limitation: Android uses roughly 1.5 GB on its own, leaving barely enough for two apps to remain open. You will notice frequent app reloads when switching between even basic programmes. The 32 GB of storage is also tight, with roughly 18 to 20 GB available after system files. The 6.6-inch display at 266 PPI is adequate for basic tasks. The 8 MP main camera with autofocus captures passable daylight photos, and the 5 MP selfie camera is strictly for social media thumbnails. The 5000 mAh battery compensates for the processor's inefficiency by providing reliable all-day endurance. At Rs 23,999, this phone makes sense only if you need the cheapest possible Android device for calls and messaging — do not expect multimedia or multitasking capability. The Villaon V50s at Rs 21,399 saves you Rs 2,600 and offers 4 GB of RAM expandable to 8 GB, plus 64 GB of storage — specifications that outclass the Infinix on every count. The Smart 6's 28 nm processor is less efficient than almost any modern chip, and its 3 GB of RAM creates a frustrating app-reload cycle that the Villaon's 4 GB base memory avoids. The Villaon also doubles the storage to 64 GB, giving you more room for apps and photos. The Infinix's only advantages are its documented display resolution at 266 PPI and its 5000 mAh battery, which outlasts the Villaon's 4000 mAh cell. For most buyers, the Villaon V50s delivers substantially more phone for less money; the Infinix Smart 6 3GB only makes sense if brand preference or a specific feature like the larger battery outweighs the need for adequate RAM and storage.
