Design, Display
The wave pattern design on the rear of the phone makes it all trendy. The Infinix Smart 7 offers a sleek, contemporary appearance. The back also possesses antibacterial properties with the positive silver-ion-charged coating on the panel. There is a physical fingerprint sensor for security. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack is at the bottom. The Smart 7 is slightly bulky. The added weight comes from the chunky 6,000mAh battery.
A waterdrop notch on top of the large 6.6-inch HD+ display accommodates the selfie camera. The display has a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels and a brightness of 500 nits, making it bright enough to be viewed outside. The panel performs decently and you will be able to stream videos at 720p.

Processor
The Infinix Smart 7 is powered by an octa-core Unisoc processor, 4GB of memory (physical RAM), and 64GB of internal storage. Although the RAM might seem a little meager, Infinix has used cunning tactics here. Upgrading the RAM to 7GB is an option with the Smart 7. The handset can supplement an additional 3GB of virtual memory from internal storage. With this extended RAM capacity of up to 7GB, the smart 7 offers a lag-free multitasking. There is a dedicated microSD card slot that allows the 64GB internal storage to be increased to 2TB. The phone includes a 3-way SIM slot which supports dual SIM and one microSD card. Running on top of Android 12 is XOS 12, which powers the Infinix Smart 7.
Infinix has made some customizations with the UI and you get a few apps and games preinstalled on the smartphone. Palm Store, an alternative to the Play Store, is one of the pre-installed apps. It pushes notifications for different apps and games which can be annoying at times. I couldn’t find a way to uninstall the app but could disable it. I downloaded a few games, and the phone was able to run them decently at low graphics quality with the frame rate set to medium. I did notice stutters while playing the games, and the smartphone did slow down occasionally. If you are a gamer hoping to play titles like Call of Duty Mobile, the Smart 7 isn’t going to be satisfactory. But light gaming is a fair experience.
Camera
In terms of cameras, the 13MP dual AI setup with dual LED flash serves as the main camera on the back of the Infinix Smart 7. On the side of the dual cameras at the back is where the fingerprint scanner is located. An LED flash is provided by the front 5MP camera to take selfies in dimly lit areas.
The smart 7 has a decent camera for daylight shots. However, low-light shots lacked sharpness and the color accuracy was off. This phone doesn’t have a Night mode to improve low-light photography either. There are a bunch of shooting modes, however, you get limited options here. There is no dedicated Night mode, but you can capture low-light shots with dual LED flash. The selfie snapper is decent too. You get fair clicks that can be uploaded on social media platforms.
Battery, Connectivity
With moderate call, streaming, and browsing usage, the large 6000mAh battery ensures that the phone lasts an entire day. The Smart 7 would still have enough fuel at the end of the day for binge-watching shows and movies on OTT apps. It takes over an hour for the battery to get a full charge.
The Infinix Smart 7 supports both 3G and 4G. This smartphone has a GPS receiver built-in. There is also an FM radio in this Infinix smartphone.

Verdict
With these specifications, specifically up to 7GB RAM, the Infinix Smart 7 excels in this price-sensitive market. Its large screen makes watching movies enjoyable and interesting. The videos are jitter-free and without missing frames, and they can be captured in high HD. With a price of INR 7,299, Infinix Smart 7 is a fantastic low-cost smartphone that undoubtedly packs a punch thanks to its feature set and stylish design. Infinix Smart 7 is a wise purchase for someone looking for a phone for daily tasks, a good display, and media consumption that won’t let them down in terms of performance and battery life while still being budget-friendly.
