Infinix Smart 2 Hands-On: An Affordable Dual 4G Smartphone That Competes With the Redmi 5A

Transsion Holding sub-brand Infinix Mobiles is unstoppable in recent times. After competing with the Redmi 5 with its Infinix Hot 6 Pro, the company has now outed the Infinix Smart 2, which takes on the Redmi 5A. Infinix has entered a new entry-level segment by creating the all-new ‘Smart’ series. The Hot 6 Pro was aimed at users looking for a big smartphone on a budget, and the Smart 2 is for users looking for an entry-level smartphone with 18:9 display, decent selfie camera and more importantly, it solves the major problem which is the 4G connectivity on a single SIM slot. Yes, the Infinix Smart 2 is one of the cheapest smartphones out there to offer dual 4G and VoLTE functionality.

The Infinix Smart 2 is priced at Rs 5,999 for the base variant with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is same as the base variant of the Redmi 5A. I have been using the Infinix Smart 2 for more than a couple of days, here’s what I think about the device.

Infinix Smart 2 Hands-On: Design and Display

Let’s get straight into the design: the Smart 2 doesn’t turn any heads in terms of the design. Even though the device boasts of an 18:9 display, there are thick bezels on top and bottom, which is expected in this price range. However, it feels compact when taken into hands. The phone is constructed out of plastic, which will be evident right after you pick it up. A disappointing aspect of the build is the back panel attracts smudges, and Infinix doesn’t bundle any case inside the retail box.
