Infinix Xpad GT: A Gamer-Focused Tablet Without the Premium Price
Infinix is shaking up the tablet pot with their new Xpad GT, and this one looks like it's built for gamers but not at a cost that would break the bank. It's packed with some serious hardware under the hood, particularly for the price.
What Makes the Xpad GT Stand Out as a Gaming Machine
Let's discuss that screen to start with. It's a 13-inch big display, and that's wonderful for becoming one with your games. But the big deal is the 144Hz refresh rate. That's incredibly smooth graphics, and that can make all the difference in high-speed action. It's also rather bright, peaking at 700 nits, and HDR10 capable with 10-bit color, so look out for vivid and sharp graphics.
Behind the bonnet, Infinix has opted for the Snapdragon 888 chip. This was, of course, a flagships-wide processor back in 2021, which powered most high-end smartphones. Coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage capacity, plus Adreno 660 graphics, Infinix claims you can reach some seriously high frame rates: 144 fps on Standoff 2, 120 fps on Honor of Kings, and a decent 90 fps on PUBG. That's pretty silky-smooth gaming from a budget tablet.
To avoid things getting too hot with all those marathon gaming sessions, there is a cooling system that features an evaporation chamber. And what drives it all. A massive 10,000 mAh battery. That should be more than enough gaming time for you, and when you need to recharge, there's 33W fast charging to get you back in action. Everything is packed into a remarkably thin metal chassis just 6.5mm thick.
More Than Just Gaming
Although gaming is clearly the focus, no one-hit wonder is the Xpad GT. A couple of the other features worth mentioning are:
- Cameras: 13-megapixel primary camera in the back and 9-megapixel selfie-camera for video calling or selfies.
- Sound: Savor your audio experience using eight internal speakers.
- Productivity: It supports stylus- and external keyboard-use, so it's usable for more than play.
- Thoughtful Extras: There isn't a standard headphone jack, but Infinix includes a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter in the packaging. You also get a protective eco-leather case, which is a nice touch.
How to Get Your Hands on the Infinix Xpad GT
The Infinix Xpad GT can already be pre-ordered and is reasonably priced at around $400. Being a tablet with such game-focused features, it is one to watch out for if you're in the market for an affordable but capable unit.
