Infinix Xpad GT review

Introduction

Last year Infinix launched the Xpad tablet with mid-range specs at an incredibly affordable price. This year, the slate is getting a more powerful big brother aimed at gaming and streaming - the Infinix Xpad GT.

The Infinix Xpad GT brings a 13.0-inch LCD screen with 2,880 x 1,840 pixels, 10-bit color depth, 144Hz refresh rate, and HDR10 support. It is powered by the Snapdragon 888 chip paired with 8GB RAM. There is no cellular option.

The Xpad GT also has eight speakers, there is a 13MP rear camera with an LED flash, and a massive 10,000mAh battery capable of 33W charging.

Unboxing the Infinix Xpad GT

The Infinix Xpad GT ships inside a thick paper box. In addition to the tablet itself, the package includes a 33W charger, a USB cable, and a book cover that doubles as a tablet stand.

Infinix also supplies a pair of Earpods-like wired headset with USB-C connection, and a USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter. According to Infinix, the tablet comes with FM radio so having the headphones plugged would be required to get it working. However, we didn't find any FM radio app preinstalled so we couldn't test how well this works.
