A New Contender in Budget Gaming Tablets
The gaming tablet market just got more exciting with Infinix’s latest release—the XPad GT. Positioned as an affordable yet powerful gaming device, this tablet smartly leverages older flagship hardware to deliver impressive performance without the premium price tag.
Powerful Performance with Snapdragon 888
At the heart of the XPad GT lies the Snapdragon 888, a 5nm processor that once powered high-end smartphones in 2021. While some may dismiss it as “outdated,” this strategic choice allows Infinix to offer near-flagship performance at a fraction of the cost.
Key performance highlights:
- 144 FPS in Standoff 2
- 120 FPS in Honor of Kings and Mobile Legends
- 90 FPS in PUBG Mobile
The Adreno 660 GPU ensures smooth gameplay, proving that you don’t need the latest chipset for an elite gaming experience.
Stunning 13-inch 144Hz Display
The XPad GT boasts a massive 13-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1840) display with a 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and media consumption. Additional display features include:
- 10-bit HDR10 support for vibrant colors
- 700 nits peak brightness for outdoor visibility
Immersive Audio & Robust Cooling
Unlike many budget tablets, the XPad GT doesn’t compromise on sound quality. It features:
Eight speakers with DTS audio & 3D sound processing
Vapor chamber cooling to prevent overheating during extended gaming sessions
Long-Lasting Battery & Practical Design
Despite its slim 6.5mm metal body, the tablet packs a 10,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, ensuring hours of uninterrupted gameplay.
The 13MP rear and 9MP front cameras are sufficient for video calls and casual photography, though this tablet is clearly built for gaming, not content creation.
Versatility: Gaming & Productivity
While marketed as a gaming tablet, the XPad GT can double as a productivity device with optional accessories:
Detachable keyboard with trackpad
Stylus support
Early buyers in Malaysia can get these accessories free with pre-orders.
Pricing & Availability
Priced at RM 1,699 (~$400 / KES 52,000), the XPad GT is a compelling option for budget-conscious gamers who want high-refresh-rate gaming without flagship prices.
Pre-orders are now open in Malaysia (via Lazada & TikTok), with shipping starting within 14 days.
Final Verdict
Infinix’s decision to revive the Snapdragon 888 in a budget-friendly tablet is a smart move, offering smooth gaming performance on a large, high-refresh-rate display. If you want flagship-like gaming without the premium cost, the XPad GT might be your best bet.
