Infinix introduces another budget-friendly device, featuring a premium look. Despite its mostly plastic build, the Infinix XPAD 20 feels sturdy without being overly heavy. It comes with flat edges, rounded corners, and a shiny rear cover.

In portrait mode, the volume keys of the Infinix XPAD 20 are located on its upper left cheek, alongside a microphone.
Its power button is strategically placed at the top, far-left part, making it easily accessible even when the device is used in landscape mode. Beside the power button sits a loudspeaker. Meanwhile, another speaker is found at the bottom part of the Infinix XPAD 20, alongside a USB-C port.
There's also a 3.5mm headphone jack, a good addition for users who still prefer using wired earphones.

Neatly packed inside a white box with a large image of the device upfront, the Infinix XPAD 20 comes with the usual paperwork, a free mini brick charger, and a USB-C to USB-A cable.
There’s also a free high-quality tablet case included in the Infinix XPAD 20 case, allowing users to save a few bucks on a separate purchase.

Apart from the Infinix XPAD 20 hero variant in Stellar Grey, the device is also available in Forest Green, Dreamy Purple, and Rising Red.
DISPLAY:
An 11-inch FHD+ screen serves as an ample digital canvas for the Infinix XPAD 20, especially for multimedia consumption. As expected from a budget tablet, its display quality is not the sharpest, but bright enough to carry out productivity tasks and enjoy entertainment content. Plus, the Infinix XPAD 20's screen is equipped with eye care features, diminishing eye fatigue even with longer hours of usage.

Its thick bezels are an obvious compromise for the affordable price tag. Although somehow, it’s a good touch, since users can hold the tablet without their hands blocking the screen.
Scrolling through and switching between multiple apps is a breeze on the Infinix XPAD 20 with its 90Hz refresh rate. This makes the tablet a good portable workstation for a busy day, may it be for students or on-the-go professionals.

The 11-inch display of the Infinix XPAD 20 boosts its UI-related convenience features, including Split Window, which allows two tabs to be shown side by side, and FreeForm, which activates a floating tab.
PERFORMANCE:
Behind the impressive capability of the Infinix XPAD 20 to deliver an efficient all-day performance is a MediaTek Helio G88 processor with eight cores and a choice of either a 4GB + 128GB or 8GB + 256GB memory and storage.

The MediaTek Helio G88 chipset delivers a decent overall performance, making the Infinix XPAD 20 a good match for those who want a tablet that just works well without the flagship price. Even gaming hits the sweet spot on the Infinix XPAD 20 with the settings clocked at mid-levels.
AI is also present through various productivity-related features, including AI translation, AI Screen Recognition, and Folax, Infinix's AI voice assistant backed by a full version of DeepSeek-R1. These AI features are snappy and immediately deliver what they're designed for.

CAMERA:
Unsurprisingly, the camera department isn't one of the strongest suits for the Infinix XPAD 20. Its sole 8-megapixel rear lens could use improvements, especially in terms of colors and sharpness.

For students, the camera quality of the Infinix XPAD 20 could be useful for document scanning and capturing photos of whiteboards. Its 5-megapixel selfie camera, meanwhile, is good enough for video calls and online classes.

With a 7,000mAh battery on the Infinix XPAD 20, users are spared from worrying about a dead device during midday. Based on our actual usage, it can last a day and a half of heavy usage on a single charge.

30 minutes – 2% to 35%
1 hour – 48%
1 hour 30 minutes – 62%

CONCLUSION:
Should you get the Infinix XPAD 20? Yes, if you're after a budget tablet that offers more than its asking price. For a budget mid-range tablet with a large screen, big battery capacity, good package inclusions, and practical AI features, the Infinix XPAD 20 is undoubtedly a steal for P6,499 (4GB+128GB) and P7,499 (8GB+256GB), available via Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.
