Design & Display: Looks Good, Feels Better

At first glance, these aren’t your typical budget phones. All three variants boast large, immersive screens perfect for binge-watching, scrolling, or video calls. The Smart 10 HD keeps things slightly compact with a 6.6-inch panel, while its siblings stretch to 6.67 inches. But what truly elevates them is the refresh rate, 90Hz for the HD and a buttery-smooth 120Hz for the other two.

What’s more, the peak brightness of up to 700 nits means you can comfortably use your phone outdoors under Nairobi’s scorching midday sun, no squinting necessary.

Performance: Smart and Surprisingly Zippy

By leveraging chipsets like the Unisoc T7250 and T606, Infinix manages to deliver solid performance for tasks that dominate daily life, chatting, browsing, streaming, and light gaming.

“For this price range, we usually expect basic specs. But with the T7250, Infinix is giving users a real step up,” says Peter M., a Nairobi-based smartphone reviewer.

Camera & Creativity: Ready for the ‘Gram

If you’re the type to capture every moment, from that perfectly plated samosa to a quick selfie in traffic, you’ll appreciate the consistent 8MP front cameras across the board. The Smart 10 HD takes things further on the rear side, with a 13MP shooter plus AI enhancements that give your shots that extra pop.

All models support 2K video recording, a rare treat at this price.

Battery Life & Charging: Built to Last

A standout feature? Battery stamina. The Smart 10 Plus packs a beastly 6,000mAh cell, meaning you can go well into a second day without reaching for a charger. Even the other two models hold their own with solid 5,000mAh batteries.

And while fast charging varies, with only the Plus getting a respectable 18W, all models will comfortably get you through the day and then some.

Audio & Extras: Louder, Smarter, Better

Infinix didn’t just focus on visuals and performance. Audio gets a boost, too. All models include dual speakers with DTS tuning and a 300% volume boost mode, making them a delight for music lovers, Netflix junkies, and even boda boda riders who need to hear notifications in traffic.

Add to that the customized XOS software skins, light for the HD version and full-featured for the others and you’ve got a surprisingly complete smartphone experience.

Final Thoughts: Is the Smart 10 Series Worth It?

Absolutely. For under KES 13,000, you’re getting large, high-refresh-rate screens, decent cameras, big batteries, and dual speakers, a combo rarely seen in this bracket. Infinix has clearly listened to its core users and delivered value without compromise.

This lineup also reflects a broader industry trend: budget phones are no longer just “cheap phones.” They’re becoming viable daily drivers for most people, especially in markets like Kenya where affordability meets function.

So whether you’re upgrading your mum’s feature phone or buying your first Android device, the Infinix Smart 10 Series might just be the smartest choice in 2025.
