Verdict

For the price, it sounds too good to be true, but Infinix managed to pull it off. The company is really on to something with this as they're setting a new standard in the budget category.

It comes with mid-range specs on a sub-PHP 10K phone. You get a gaming-capable performance on a budget, IP53 dust and water resistance, a long-lasting battery with 45W fast charging, and deliverable cameras.

And mind you, this is one of the most affordable 5G-ready smartphones you can get to date. 

For a starting price of PHP 9,499, this is insane! 

We highly recommend the Infinix Note 30 5G if you're looking for a well-rounded device on a budget.
