Infinix Smart 7 HD

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Infinix Smart 7 HD at Rs 18,999 is one of the most referenced phones in this batch — and for good reason. It delivers a 500-nit display, 5000 mAh battery, and 64 GB of storage at a competitive price. The unnamed octa-core 1.6 GHz processor handles basic tasks without significant drama, though its exact gaming capabilities are uncertain due to the undisclosed chipset. The 6.6-inch display at 267 PPI with 500-nit brightness is one of the brighter panels in this segment, ensuring outdoor readability under the Pakistani sun. With 2 GB of RAM, the phone struggles with multitasking — opening a third app often causes the first one to close from memory. The dual 8 MP + 0.08 MP rear camera captures passable daylight photos, and the 5 MP selfie camera handles basic video calls. The 5000 mAh battery provides standard all-day endurance. At 163.9 mm tall and 8.7 mm thick, the phone is a standard size. This model suits buyers who prioritise outdoor screen visibility and adequate storage. The Villaon V50s at Rs 21,399 costs Rs 2,400 more but offers 4 GB of RAM (expandable to 8 GB) — double the Smart 7 HD's 2 GB. The Villaon's unnamed processor provides no basis for comparison, though the Infinix's 500-nit brightness ensures outdoor readability that the Villaon cannot guarantee. Both phones share 5000 mAh batteries and 64 GB of storage. For buyers who prioritise outdoor visibility, the Infinix Smart 7 HD delivers a genuine advantage; the Villaon V50s appeals to those who want more RAM and are willing to pay a premium.
