Infinix Note 10 Pro Review: Budget Friendly By JuanBagnell

Inexpensive phones continue to impress a philosophical question to keep in the back of your brain as we go through this review. What do you really use your phone for over the last couple of years? One of the segments of phones that has been most exciting to watch has been this mid-range, especially the lower mid-range phones from 200 to 400-ish dollars. There have always been some good bargains to be found, but often they'd come with a lot of caveats. This is the right phone for you. If you can handle these compromises, blah blah blah blah blah the infinite note 10 joins a list of phones. I've been digging for their hardware value.

Increasingly, it's the more affordable phones out there that offer the most complete consumer hardware package, so not to read the spec sheet at you. I figure you can go to GSM arena, but headphone jack power, button, fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, a 90 hertz display a 64, megapixel camera 33 watt, fast charging, dual sim and a memory card slot, UFS storage and a big of hunk and battery. This is really hot territory right now against TCL's and words, Xiaomi and motor. Where we can find hardware rich options undercutting the price of iPhone, SES and pixel 4as, the note 10 pro makes some charming design decisions, a camera module that looks somewhat Samsung inspired, but with a two-tone back that looks a little like a pixel and on a color and texture, which reminds me of Huawei and honor phones, sort of evolutionary mutt of cell phone design, but it still looks pretty good regardless. There's a plastic bumper in the box.

You're, probably going to put your phone in a case, especially a phone, this big, because this is a big chunk. It's even just a little bigger than my lg v60, but the expectation for this phone in the manufacturer lineup. This is the big, powerful gaming and work phone, and it handles those duties surprisingly. Well, the MediaTek soc is wonderfully capable CPU performance just slightly ahead of the mid-range 700 series, solutions from Qualcomm GPU performance just slightly behind a powerhouse chip like the snapdragon 855. This is the ballpark where we were with the T-Mobile variation of the lg velvet last year and the velvet sold for quite a bit more and folks review premium.

Tier a thousand dollar phones, but only talk about average consumers. This is the kind of phone which easily handles that kind of use and in many ways, is still a little overkill. For average battery life has been phenomenal, which shouldn't be much of a surprise. Given the mid-range soc and the huge battery, I think a goodly chunk of consumers would happily give up some compute power if they knew they'd get more runtime out in the field and 30 watt fast charging is still pretty quick by today's standards. You're not left out for long when you need a top off, but this is another phone I'd recommend getting in the habit of not charging it overnight, especially if you're, using the fast charger regularly.

Considering the price tier, I'm not too concerned about the lack of wireless charging or having an IP rating. Cable charging is faster, it's more efficient, it puts less wear on the battery and doesn't require additional, more expensive pads. That you'll need to buy, and the phone seems to be built with a decent level of splash resistance, so the IP rating that would bring some peace of mind, but I see no reason to fear a little spill or using this phone out in some light rain. The audio game is respectable for this tier of phones, stereo speakers, which are good for arm's length options if just falling short of the power and quality that you'd want. If you were trying to replace a small Bluetooth speaker to fill a small room with some good sound, the tuning is a little lean for phone speakers.

I could do with just a bit more low end, but I wouldn't say that's a serious fault where these speakers still handily keep with and outperform a lot of cheaper laptops out there. The headphone jack is a solid convenience port. You get good audio numbers, though it obviously does not deliver audio file grade output and the amp is kind of weak. I'm honestly, I'm just not sure how much I should be worried about those people who want to use headphones. That cost as much or more than this phone on this phone.

I honestly don't know how many of those people really exist, and the camera performance is another area where this price shows us how far we've come, but it's also not difficult finding more expensive phones that perform better. If your frame of reference is Google Pixel processing, then some of the shots that come out of this will probably disappoint, but you'll spend more on a pixel the flip side. This hardware affords some physical advantages over pixels and iPhones. The casual point-and-shoot stuff is handled really well, if it's a bit goofy, sometimes on the HDR processing, but there are manual control options for folks who want to drive this main camera just a little harder. The complimenting cameras are a varying utility.

The 2 megapixel monochrome is becoming more common for contrast and low light performance, plus to top it all off. We get perfectly usable, 4k video again these mid-ranger options with memory card slots. It's pretty nice to have the extra storage when you're, shooting 4k video and just as a snarky, dig to a number of other manufacturers out there. There's no reason premium. Tier phones should lack 4k, selfie video, this phone shoots 4k video from the front camera.

I've been glowing on this hardware, because it's pretty much all good. I can't find any tragic missteps any serious dealbreakers. The concerns on a phone like this will more likely come down to software and support. As an English speaker, I do think it's cute finding a few of those little English typos throughout the UI, but I was happy to be greeted by a fairly substantial update for system performance, and we're not too far out of date on the security patching more, I would highly recommend people more regularly check out their play. Services updates.

I went through four reboots getting the phone set up to get the OS and the security patching and the play services all up to date. Increasingly, this is where we're going to see more security patching happening anyway. So it's about time we get a bit more familiar with how to get those updates done from there. It's mostly just personal preference stuff. You know this skin has some fun additions like a security filter, cribbed from a blackberry.

There's a quick toggle pane where you can dock some shortcuts, and you've got access to things like screenshots and cropping the general aesthetic is bouncy without being quite as playful as Xiaomi skin. It's like the interior trim on a car. You get to pick and choose the feel you like. Maybe the only part I just can't quite get behind is the app drawer I mean the good. Am I get my perfectly vertical notification shade and app drawer? It's all one vertical column.

The irritating part is when I try to swipe down to close the app drawer. I get this additional wallpaper and app panel that I can't close through a similar swipe. I can't find a setting to disable this, but it drives me nuts. Furthermore, I really don't like having to hit the home button twice to get out of it, but it's on that software point that we can start wrapping this up these types of options, they're hardware, rich, but low cost. We can build some expectations that software support will likely be on the shorter side, and this brings up one of the main choices facing consumers in this tier.

We have a high threshold for pixel and iPhone updates. Furthermore, we expect more out of google and apple. Those phones cost a lot more and lack some hardware options people might want to play with. So it's not as simple as picking updates as the dealbreaker. How dare someone want to own a bigger nicer, looking phone with fun features? The conversation needs to balance all the pros and cons, and not just cherry-pick.

One way a phone might lose in a comparison when we're not really comparing we're supposed to be reviewing it's not about picking winners or losers based on one feature, it should be more like Pok?mon or transformer power stats. You know varying degrees of good and better. Maybe my last parting criticism. I just wish this wasn't called a note.10. yeah, you know balancing price and performance.

My biggest issue with the phone is probably its name. I feel there are other things we could call phones, especially when they don't have any kind of built-in stylus support.
