What was impressive was that the AnTuTu scores were 30+ percent higher than those of similarly specced devices, which means Infinix's claims are true.Generally, the tablet is more than fast enough for casual use, navigating through the UI, and opening and switching between apps, documents, spreadsheets, e-mail, social media, and media consumption.Infinix XPAD 30 Pro's Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Graphics settingsRunning Mobile Legends: Bang Bang with HD selected is smooth. It isn't the fastest, but the frame rates are consistent.

In our usual 4K YouTube video loop test, it managed to run a 4K YouTube video continuously for 16 hours 31 minutes with 13 percent battery remaining. In our daily usage, we were getting nearly 2 workdays of use. This entails constant connection to WiFi or 4G, and we were constantly on social media, web surfing, occasional video calls, documents, spreadsheets, and other work-related tasks.When we played 30 minutes of MLBB, we only lost 2 percent of the battery.It takes 210 minutes, or 3.5 hours, to charge the battery from 0 percent to 100 percent with the included 18W charger.Overall, we are confident that the tablet will last two days consistently.Large screenInfinix XPAD 30 Pro's screenIn front is the 11-inch IGZO TFT screen with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, a 550-nit peak brightness, and a 90Hz refresh rate. It supports PWM Dimming and has a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. It is Panda Glass protected.The panel is decently bright, which makes it somewhat readable under direct sunlight. It produces images with vibrant colors, crisp text, and decent contrast.When used outdoors, it does catch some reflections.It supports 10-point multi-touch and features symmetrical slim bezels.Overall, the panel is more than good enough for productivity and media consumption. It doesn't have the fastest refresh rate, but 90Hz is still better than 60Hz.It features stereo speakers that have a decent maximum volume and a decent level of clarity and power. The soundstage isn't big, and we noticed distortion at 85 percent and above.The rest of the featuresInfinix XOS 16Alongside are Dual Speakers, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, GPS, and microSD card expansion.It runs on XOS 16 based on Android 16. This brings a new Glow Space design language with light, depth, transparency, and glass effects. The notification and quick settings panel have been revamped with rounder toggles, pill-shaped buttons, and improved transparency.One of our favorite features is the multiwindow support. It lets us split the screen with multiple apps simultaneously.Infinix AI and Folax Voice assistantIt is loaded with a ton of new AI features made to improve productivity and learning with the Folax Voice assistant.It supports Recording Summary, where users can upload audio files to the Folax Voice assistant and generate a summary from the transcribed text of the recording.

They can even use it to expand it or polish it in different tones.In general, the tablet runs smoothly with basic tasks and can run games like MLBB without a hitch.Pros - Eye-catching design, stereo speakers, large 2.5K 11-inch 90Hz display, microSD card expansion, 2-day battery life, 6GB LPDDR4XCons - 128GB-only configuration can be limiting, 4G only, wireless keyboard sold separatelyInfinix XPAD 30 Pro SpecsDisplay: 11-inch TFT IGZO screen w/ 90Hz refresh rate, 2.5K 2560 x 1600 resolution at 274 ppiCPU: 2.2GHz 6nm Mediatek Helio G200 Ultimate octa-core processorGPU: Mali-G57 MC2RAM: 6GB LPDDR4XROM: 128GB UFS 2.2, expandable via microSD card slot up to 2TBBack Camera: 8MP f/2.0Selfie Camera: 8MP f/2.0Battery: 8,200mAh w/ USB-C charging 18W chargingOS: Android 16 w/ XOS 16Connectivity: WiFi (2.4GHz/5GHz), 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, SIMSensors: G, e-compass, light, SAROthers: Stereo speakers; Colors: Twilight Purple, Anthracite Grey, Titanium SilverDimensions: 253.99 x 165.55 x 6.6 mmWeight: 476 gPrice: PHP 13,999VerdictThe AI crunch has affected tablets too. We applaud Infinix for offering 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and microSD card expansion, but we hope they offer 256GB/512GB options in the future.We also love the massive 90Hz 11-inch 2.5K IGZO TFT screen and the massive 8,200mAh battery that work together to give a 2-day-lasting tablet for both productivity and media consumption.Other incredible features include stereo speakers and the varied new AI features.Our only concern with the tablet is that the wireless hardware keyboard are sold separately.What do you guys think?If you are interested, it is available here: Shopee, TikTok Shop, Lazada.
