Infinix is a brand that is well known for the low-cost and budget devices that it makes (alongside its sibling company, Tecno). Infinix makes smartphones, tablets, and even laptops, and none of them will cost you an arm and a leg, so that makes its options very appealing to a lot of people.
For those who don’t want to spend a ridiculous amount of money yet still want to enjoy their mobile gaming sessions, Infinix’s GT family will help you get that done. Today, the company announced that the family is going to be getting a new device—its first tablet. The Infinix XPAD GT is coming this month, and it is going to be pretty good.
The Infinix XPAD GT Will Bring Several Gamer-centric Features to the Table
We’ve seen the Infinix XPAD, and we’ve also seen numerous Infinix GT gaming smartphones. However, what we haven’t seen is a fusion of those two. The good thing is that it’s finally here, in the form of the XPAD GT, which is a device that is clearly intended for those who expect to do a lot of gaming. However, the specs of this tablet also suit it pretty well for consuming media, so if that’s all you plan to do, this isn’t a bad choice.
The Infinix XPAD GT brings a slew of features that will enhance your Android or cloud gaming experience, whether you plan to play Call of Duty: Mobile or Forza Horizon. Here are some of the specs for the gamers out there:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 888: Released in 2020, it’s a little older, but it was a flagship chip then, so it should hold up well for a budget gaming tablet.
- 144Hz Refresh Rate: When you’re playing competitive games, the more times your display refreshes in a second, the easier it is to see enemy movements (and respond to them).
- 3D Surround Sound Speaker System: Good sound makes good games more immersive. However, it can also bring a tactical advantage when you accurately tell which direction opponents are coming from.
- 10,000mAh Battery: With a battery this size, you won’t find yourself plugging your tablet in to charge every few hours since this will last you through those longer sessions. And when it is time to charge, 33W wired charging will help get that done.
The tablet will also arrive with Infinix’s Folax AI assistant, though in this case, it is stated to be optimized for the larger screen that a tablet comes with. There’s no exact launch date, but we know that it should arrive this month, so there isn’t too long to wait.
How Does the Infinix XPAD GT Compare to the Regular Infinix XPAD?
The “GT” tag at the end of the name of the upcoming tablet from Infinix indicates that it is meant to be gaming-focused, but does it bring that much more compared to the regular Infinix XPAD?
While we don’t have access to the full spec sheet, we can actually take a gander at that, and the answer seems to be a big yes, as far as we can see.
Infinix XPAD GT | Infinix XPAD | |
Chipset | Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 | MediaTek Helio G99 |
Display Refresh Rate | 144Hz | 90Hz |
Battery | 10,000mAh | 7,000mAh |
Wired Charging | 33W | 18W |
The price is the only thing that could potentially make the upcoming tablet a miss, but for now, it seems to be doing everything right.
