- Dimensions: 164.2 x 75.6 x 9.37 mm
- Weight: 207 grams
Design and Build Quality
Aesthetics:
The Infinix Smart 7 sports a simple yet functional design, with a plastic back and frame. The back panel features a textured finish, giving it a unique look and providing better grip. The phone is available in multiple colors, such as Green, Blue, and Black, adding some style options for users.
Durability:
While made of plastic, the build feels sturdy enough for everyday use. The rear-mounted fingerprint scanner is easily accessible and responsive, adding a layer of security to the device.
Ergonomics:
With its relatively compact size, the Infinix Smart 7 is easy to hold and operate with one hand, although the slightly bulky 207-gram weight is noticeable. The phone retains a 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB port, both common for this price range.
Display
Specifications:
- Size: 6.6-inch HD+ IPS LCD
- Resolution: 1612 x 720 pixels
- Brightness: 500 nits peak brightness
Performance:
The 6.6-inch HD+ display provides decent visuals for its price point. While it lacks the sharpness and contrast of higher-end models, the IPS panel delivers acceptable color reproduction and viewing angles for watching videos, browsing the web, and general use. Brightness is sufficient for indoor use but may struggle under direct sunlight. The large display size makes it ideal for content consumption and social media.
In summary, the display is decent for an entry-level phone but don’t expect premium performance for high-resolution media consumption or gaming.
Performance
Hardware:
- Processor: Unisoc SC9863A (Octa-core, 4x Cortex-A55 @ 1.6 GHz + 4x Cortex-A55 @ 1.2 GHz)
- RAM: 3 GB / 4 GB
- Storage: 64 GB (expandable via microSD card)
Performance Evaluation:
Powered by the Unisoc SC9863A chipset, the Infinix Smart 7 delivers modest performance suitable for basic tasks like browsing, using social media, and casual gaming. The 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM is enough to handle light multitasking, but don’t expect it to breeze through more demanding applications or games. Heavy apps or multiple apps running simultaneously may cause some lag.
The phone is better suited for light users who need a device primarily for calls, messaging, and occasional app usage. It’s not designed for gaming or power-hungry applications.
Benchmark Scores:
In basic benchmark tests like AnTuTu and Geekbench, the Infinix Smart 7 achieves low to mid-range scores typical for budget smartphones. These scores indicate that the phone is best suited for everyday, non-intensive tasks.
Camera
Rear Cameras:
- Primary Lens: 13 MP (wide)
- Secondary Lens: AI Lens
- Features: LED flash, AI enhancements, Portrait Mode, HDR
Front Camera:
- Resolution: 5 MP
- Features: AI Beauty mode, HDR
Camera Performance:
In well-lit environments, the 13 MP rear camera captures decent photos with acceptable detail and color accuracy. However, the image quality drops noticeably in low-light conditions, with increased noise and reduced sharpness. The AI Lens assists with depth-sensing for portrait shots, but edge detection is sometimes inconsistent.
The 5 MP front camera is adequate for selfies and video calls but does not perform well in low-light situations. Overall, the camera system is sufficient for basic photography needs but falls short when compared to mid-range devices.
Video Recording:
The Infinix Smart 7 supports 1080p video recording at 30fps. Video quality is acceptable in good lighting but lacks stabilization, which can result in shaky footage.
Battery Life
Specifications:
- Capacity: 5000 mAh
- Charging: 10W charging (microUSB)
Performance:
One of the highlights of the Infinix Smart 7 is its impressive 5000 mAh battery, which easily lasts a full day of moderate usage. This includes activities like web browsing, social media, light gaming, and streaming. With more conservative use, the phone can last up to two days on a single charge.
However, the 10W charging speed is relatively slow, taking about 2-3 hours to fully charge the battery. The absence of fast charging is expected in this price range.
In conclusion, the battery life is a major selling point of the Infinix Smart 7, making it ideal for users who prioritize long-lasting battery performance.
Software
Operating System:
The Infinix Smart 7 runs XOS 12 based on Android 12. The software offers a customizable user interface with several added features like Game Mode, Social Turbo, and XOS Vault.
User Experience:
While the interface is relatively smooth, it comes with a fair amount of bloatware that may take up space and slow down performance. However, these apps can be uninstalled or disabled. Despite the bloat, XOS 12 is easy to navigate and provides additional features that enhance the overall user experience, particularly for first-time smartphone users.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Affordable Price: Great value for budget-conscious users.
- Large Battery: 5000 mAh battery provides excellent longevity.
- Decent Display: The 6.6-inch HD+ screen is large enough for media consumption.
- Expandable Storage: 64 GB internal storage with microSD support up to 512 GB.
Cons:
- Average Performance: Unisoc SC9863A struggles with heavy tasks and multitasking.
- Camera Quality: Subpar performance in low light; mediocre selfie camera.
- Slow Charging: 10W charging takes time to fully charge the large battery.
- Bloatware: Pre-installed apps can clutter the experience.
Conclusion
The Infinix Smart 7 is a good option for users on a budget who need a smartphone for basic tasks like calling, texting, and light app usage. Its large display, durable design, and impressive battery life make it a compelling choice for those who prioritize these features. However, its performance and camera capabilities are limited, making it less suitable for power users or those looking for advanced features.
