Infinix Smart 4c

The Infinix Smart 4c suits someone looking for a basic phone and willing to accept performance worse than most phones of its time. Its 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB storage leave limited room for apps and files, though storage is expandable. The Helio A22 is a quad-core processor. Overall, performance is worse than on most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display has 720 × 1,600 pixels and a density of 266 ppi, lower than on most phones of its time. Its 4,000 mAh battery is average, while the battery overall is below average for the period. The rear camera has 8 MP, a resolution among the weakest of its time; the front camera is 5 MP. Everyday connections include Dual Nano-SIM, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Connectivity overall is worse than on most phones launched around then. On the positive side, it weighs 183 g, less than most phones of its time, and its 8.3 mm thickness is also lower than most. This is an entry-level option with expandable storage and familiar connections, but limited memory, display density and performance. It makes most sense for someone who needs basic phone functions rather than generous storage or a more capable multimedia experience.
