Infinix has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of the Infinix Xpad. This is Infinix’s first foray into the tablet market. Infinix has been working hard to make a name for itself in the smartphone market and now it wants to expand its portfolio with this new tablet. It is a mid-range tablet that offers a versatile experience at an affordable price. Let’s take a detailed look at the device below.
Infinix Xpad Design
The Infinix Xpad displays a sophisticated aesthetic with its solid metal unibody construction that adds to both its durability and premium feel. Many manufacturers cut costs with a plastic build, but Infinix has opted for a premium look. What’s more, it looks modern thanks to the thin bezels around the display, adding to its modern appeal and maximizing the screen area. The tablet is available in three elegant colors that offer variety to suit different tastes: blue, black and gold.
Infinix Xpad Features and Specifications
The Infinix Xpad features an 11-inch 1920×1200 resolution IPS LCD panel. The highlight of this display is its 90Hz refresh rate, which provides smooth scrolling and an enhanced viewing experience; ideal for multimedia consumption. The display’s 440 nits brightness and 83% screen-to-body ratio also contribute to an immersive viewing experience.
Tablets don’t usually focus much on camera capabilities, and the Xpad follows that trend. It comes equipped with an 8MP front camera and an 8MP rear camera, which is more than enough for basic photography and video calling.
In the performance segment, the tablet shines with the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset. It is a solid mid-range processor with a 2.2GHz octa-core CPU. It can handle daily tasks and even light gaming. The tablet comes in two versions: one with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the other with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Gizchina News of the Week
Powering the Infinix Xpad is a 7000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. While it is sufficient for most users, the charging speed could be improved. In the current market, even smartphones have fast charging speeds of 30W and above. Therefore, it would have been better if Infinix had at least opted for 30W fast charging.
Xpad runs on XOS, the Android operating system enhanced with Infinix’s proprietary features, including Folax, an AI-powered assistant driven by ChatGPT. This assistant adds a layer of convenience to the user experience by helping users manage tasks, plan routes, and even recommend places of interest.

Pricing
While Infinix is yet to announce the official pricing and availability of the XPAD, it is expected to offer competitive pricing in line with its mid-range market positioning. Availability details are expected to be released market-by-market.
Solution
The Infinix Xpad is a notable entry into the mid-range tablet market. The current tablet market is not as saturated as the smartphone market. Therefore, Infinix still has a place to play. With the launch of the Xpad, the company shows that Infinix is serious about expanding its product line beyond smartphones. From a market perspective, the Xpad fills a gap for consumers looking for a budget-friendly tablet that doesn’t compromise on key features like display quality, battery life, and build. The Xpad is a solid choice for everyday users. While it may not appeal to high-end users or those who need premium features, it does meet the needs of a wide audience, from casual browsers to those looking for a secondary device for media consumption.
All in all, the Xpad is a promising addition to the tablet market. I hope Infinix launches more models in different categories so that they have a wider portfolio. However, let us know your thoughts on the tablet in the comments below.
