Infinix Xpad 20 Pro
The Infinix Xpad 20 Pro, that new big-screen Android tablet, starts strong with a beautiful 12-inch IPS LCD that’s actually a joy to stare at for hours. It’s got a 2K-ish resolution (2000 x 1200 pixels), refreshes up to 90Hz so everything feels buttery, and can crank out 450 nits of brightness—good enough to survive a sunny café window, though direct Indian sunlight still wins, let’s be honest. I’ve lost track of how many hours I’ve watched random YouTube cooking fails on screens like this, but the quad stereo speakers are loud enough that you don’t need headphones unless your roommate hates you.
Under the hood, there’s a surprisingly zippy Helio G100 chip (octa-core, with two speedy Cortex-A76 cores bumping along at 2.2 GHz for gaming and six efficiency Cortex-A55 cores for those days you just want battery to last forever). It’s paired with 8GB RAM (with 8GB extra as virtual RAM for app hoarders), and up to 256GB internal storage. Plus, there’s a dedicated microSD slot—throwing a 512GB card in there felt mildly indulgent, but honestly, who deletes photos anymore? If you’re anything like me, half your storage is memes and recipes you’re never going to cook. By the way, it boots Android 15 right out of the box, so all those little OS animations and privacy features—it feels fresh and modern. Infinix promises two years of security updates, which is comforting. (Anecdote time: my last budget tablet got one update and then ghosted me. Burned once.)
Battery life is a headline feature—an 8000mAh cell, 18W charging, and reverse charging so those old Bluetooth devices can leech off your tablet in emergencies. I got about two days of moderate use, which is honestly more than I expected; I forgot the charger on a road trip and still had 25% left after two nights streaming podcasts and making photo collages. The quad speakers are punchy and decent for games or casual movies, but don’t expect miracles—if you want thumping bass for party mode, maybe look elsewhere, though the volume is solid.
For cameras: there’s a very standard 8MP shooter on the back, plus a 5MP selfie cam. Both are perfectly fine for video calls or casual snaps, but I can’t say they’ll replace your phone for actual photography. Still, when I joined a Zoom call from bed in my pyjamas, nobody complained about clarity. The front camera even has a flash, which seems like overkill unless you’re streaming in total darkness (no judgment, late-night gamers).
Connectivity is solid—Wi-Fi ac (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C, 4G LTE on a nano-SIM—so you can work or play wherever, and you can expand storage up to a ludicrous 1TB with a card. Missing bits? No fingerprint sensor, no NFC, and no headphone jack, sadly—so those fancy wired headphones are staying boxed. That said, I’ve honestly stopped caring as much; Bluetooth has gotten pretty reliable.
Build-wise, it’s lightweight with a premium feel despite being plastic. Comes in Titanium Grey or Mist Blue, which sounds much fancier than they look. The price? Around $340 or ₹45,000-ish—definitely on the sweet spot for what you get, though always shop around for sales and bundles. If you’re a student, a movie buff, or just want a solid tablet for less than an iPad, this one’s got a lot going for it. Infinix really knows how to keep devices affordable and practical. Sure, some premium features are missing, but for everyday life? Pretty compelling stuff. Would I recommend it for binge-watching, note-taking, or occasional drawing? Absolutely. If you want a tablet that doesn’t make you swear at lag or low battery, this is a pretty good bet—and it’s actually fun to use day to day.
