The teardrop notch takes up a small part of the screen which in turn is less obstructive while viewing some content.

Infinix Smart 5 sports an octa-core processor which is not disclosed by Infinix but it clocks up to 1.8GHz. The processor while being octa-core; but the clock speeds may be a bit underperforming while some heavy task is being done. There is a single storage option of 64GB which is paired with 3GB of memory. While this configuration is adequate for everyday use but the processor remains a bit of a worry.

Infinix Smart 5 is preloaded with Android 10 Go Edition, which is a good decision considering the processor may be a bit on the weak side. There is Infinix’s in-house XOS 6 layered on top of the Android 10 Go Edition.

There are many great sample shots posted on the site but the actual performance is yet to be seen.

Infinix Smart 5 is equipped with a massive 5000mAh battery, which is more than enough for a smartphone with these specifications. There is reportedly 33 hours of talk time and a massive 35 days of standby time. It has a 10W charging speed but for a battery this big, even 10W of charging will take a long-time charge fully.

Infinix Smart 5 is a smartphone that is smartly specked by Infinix and the 5000mAh battery is just the icing on the cake. The octa-core processor should be plenty but heavy applications may struggle to run; so don’t expect mid-range level performance from this one. The pricing will decide if this phone is worth buying.
