Infinix re-enters the budget tablet market in Indonesia with the new XPad 20, priced attractively at around IDR 1.9 million (approximately $129). This device succeeds the popular first-generation XPad, offering notable upgrades that appeal to users seeking affordable yet capable Android tablets.
Display and Design
The XPad 20 sports a large 11-inch display with a 1920 x 1200 Full HD+ resolution, providing sharp visuals suitable for multimedia consumption and casual productivity. Its adaptive refresh rate fluctuates between 60Hz and 90Hz to enhance scrolling smoothness, a feature uncommon in this price segment. Brightness measurements reach up to 546 nits in tests, making the screen usable indoors and under bright lighting, although it lacks auto-brightness functionality.
The tablet shows a design overhaul compared to its predecessor, adopting a single-tone finish with color options like dreamy purple, forest green, and stellar grey. Its dimensions (257.67 x 169.22 x 7.9 mm) and weight of 508 grams, combined with an included 247-gram protective case, ensure portability without compromising sturdiness. The polycarbonate body feels solid but tends to attract fingerprints, an issue partly mitigated by the bundled case.
Hardware and Performance
Running on the Mediatek Helio G88 chipset, the XPad 20 targets daily use and casual gaming with moderate performance expectations. It comes in two memory configurations: 4GB RAM with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB storage. Both variants include expandable storage via a microSD slot supporting up to 1TB. The tablet operates on Android 15 in a clean “vanilla” build, free from bloatware and intrusive ads, promising smooth user experience and timely security patches for two years.
Performance benchmarks record an AnTuTu 10 score of 261,000 and Geekbench 6 scores of 445 (single-core) and 1,433 (multi-core). Gaming tests revealed acceptable performance on lighter titles: Mobile Legends runs smoothly at 60fps, PUBG Mobile averages 40fps on smooth-ultra settings, and Free Fire Max achieves 40-60fps. However, demanding games like Genshin Impact struggled, with frame rates fluctuating between 25-30fps on the lowest settings.
Battery Life and Charging
One of the standout features is the 7,000mAh battery, shown to sustain up to 18 hours and 21 minutes of offline Full HD YouTube playback. During active streaming or social app scrolling, battery drain remains minimal (3% in 30 minutes of YouTube, 5% in TikTok). Despite this endurance, charging speed is modest due to the 10W charger included. Replenishing the battery from empty to 50% takes roughly 1 hour and 39 minutes, while a full charge demands nearly 3 hours and 45 minutes. This slow charging pace is reasonable given the battery’s capacity and promotes cooler charging temperatures.
Camera and Audio
The XPad 20 includes a 5MP front camera with an LED flash supporting video recording up to 2K at 30fps—an unusual feature at this price. The rear camera offers 8MP with autofocus and similar video capabilities. Audio features comprise dual stereo speakers positioned horizontally, delivering prominent treble and loud volume enhanced by a 5-band DTS Sound equalizer. A 3.5mm headphone jack and USB-C port add connectivity options, along with support for Bluetooth 5.2 audio codecs like SBC and LDAC.
Additional Features
Portability features include a SIM tray suitable for 2G to 4G LTE networks, enabling phone calls using speaker mode. The device supports USB OTG and FM radio, along with privacy features like a private space for hiding apps and files secured by PIN or pattern locks. Included accessories enhance user convenience: a pre-applied screen protector, USB A to C cable, 10W charger, ejector tool, and protective case.
Price and Value Proposition
Retailing in Indonesia starting at IDR 1,999,000 (~$129) for the base 4GB/128GB variant and approximately IDR 2,348,000 (~$152) for the higher 8GB/256GB model, the Infinix XPad 20 is aimed at entry-level buyers wanting a full-sized tablet experience. Both options come with a one-year official warranty. The larger RAM and storage version offers better value given its improved multitasking capabilities.
The Infinix XPad 20’s combination of a sizable 11-inch 90Hz screen, substantial battery, clean Android 15 software, and budget pricing presents a compelling choice for basic media consumption, light gaming, and day-to-day tasks. However, users with heavier gaming or professional editing needs might find its midrange Helio G88 chipset limiting. Overall, it stands out as an affordable, no-frills Android tablet fit for casual users and budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable large-screen device.
