| Infinix GT 10 Pro review |
Few people are aware of Infinix and its mobile devices. In the affordable market, Infinix has just lately begun stealthily displacing competitors. The GT 10 Pro boasts the quickest technology in this class together with an attractive look reminiscent of the Nothing Phone 2. Is that sufficient for budget shoppers to prioritize it on their shopping lists?
It is a smartphone that I really ought to have reviewed sooner—the GT 10 Pro. I have, however, been using the smartphone for more than two weeks. Let's investigate its outcome.
The unique style
The GT 10 Pro stands out in the crowded budget market because to its Cyber-Mecha (as the firm is calling it) design. Beside the camera, there's an LED indication that gives the impression of a translucent plastic back. The body of the GT 10 Pro is made of curved polycarbonate. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a resolution of 2400x1080 is the main attraction.
The GT 10 Pro is free of fingerprints and smudges and comes in Cyber Black and Mirage Silver color choices.
The right side of the device has the power/lock and volume buttons. There are two SIM card slots on the left side. The speaker grille, main microphone, USB Type-C connector, and 3.5mm headphone jack are located at the bottom. The second speaker and backup microphone are located at the top.
With a weight of about 190 grams and a thickness of 8.1 mm, the phone is not heavy and is easy to carry when playing games. That this smartphone isn't particularly slippery is an additional benefit.

Performance: Quickest within the category
Equipped with the state-of-the-art 6nm-based MediaTek Dimensity 8050 processor, the GT Pro effortlessly manages all aspects of gaming and beyond. It hardly ever lags or stutters when I use it regularly. Despite having just one 8GB RAM and 256GB storage option, it offers excellent value for the money.
When it comes to battery life, the GT 10 Pro delivers. There is enough life left in the 5,000mAh battery for an entire day of use. It's a fantastic combo when combined with a 45W charger, which can charge the smartphone in just over an hour. The USB PD 3.0 standard is also supported by the smartphone.
Software: The smartphone's weak point
The Pure XOS OS, which is based on Android 13, is included with the GT 10 Pro. The UI is a touch too extravagant and very customized (it makes me think of ColorOS). Fortunately, there aren't many pre-installed apps—most of them can be removed.
The OS as a whole just needs refinement. There are several little problems there that should be resolved by a software upgrade. This operating system has a severe learning curve even if it incorporates features from other operating systems. The fact that Infinix has only committed to one significant Android upgrade and two years of security updates is a drawback.
Although the user interface functioned flawlessly, it seemed a bit overwhelming to navigate through.

Cameras
It's OK that the Infinix GT 10 Pro is more concerned with gaming than with taking pictures. Before investing in a GT 10 Pro, you are aware of what you are getting into. Having said that, only one of the three lenses included in the GT Pro's arrangement is functional. Of the three, the 108MP rear camera is the most notable; the 2MP macro and portrait lenses are almost ineffective.
For posting on social networking platforms like Instagram, the camera works best. However, keep in mind not to blow them up on your 55-inch TV.
There is a 32MP selfie camera on the front, which is adequate but not outstanding.
The GT 10 Pro produces some excellent shots in bright daylight conditions, capturing a lot of detail and providing excellent color vibrancy. However, the cameras suffer in low light, displaying apparent noise and losing out on details. If you're photographing in dim light, you really must use the Night setting since it produces superior photographs. They make less noise and are crisper (with more details).
Why Infinix didn't add an ultra-wide camera is beyond me. I think it's a perplexing choice instead than a cost-cutting one.
Conclusion: An excellent low-cost gaming smartphone!
I'm confident in saying that, during the last six months, this is Infinix's greatest smartphone. The Dimensity 8050 chipset provides excellent performance to support the design, which speaks for itself. The GT 10 Pro has positioned itself effectively, despite the unsatisfactory camera and shoddy software. Its all-day battery life is another selling point.
The GT 10 Pro is the right choice if you're on a tight budget, want the greatest hardware, and don't mind being overpowered by software. especially if you're a serious player. The POCO X5 Pro is the sole true rival of the GT 10 Pro.
All things considered, the GT 10 Pro accomplishes enough to merit a spot among the greatest low-cost smartphones on the market right now.
