Infinix Smart 6 – Best Budget Phone for Kenya
If you’re shopping for a smartphone in Kenya on a tight budget and still want reliable daily performance, the Infinix Smart 6 is a smart choice.
Why it’s a good budget phone in Kenya
The Infinix Smart 6 offers surprisingly strong value in Kenya. You’ll find the 2 GB / 32 GB variant priced around KSh 10,600 to KSh 12,000. (Phonetronics Kenya) For that price you get a large 6.6″ screen, decent battery capacity and 4G connectivity—items many ultra-budget phones may skip. For first-time smartphone buyers, students or anyone needing a reliable device for everyday tasks—messaging, streaming, social media, basic apps—this phone gives content without seriously stretching your wallet.

Strengths
- Very affordable price: Around KSh 10,000-12,000 makes it one of the lowest-cost smartphones you can buy in Kenya, yet usable.
- Large battery: 5,000 mAh battery gives decent usage time even with basic hardware.
- Decent screen size: 6.6″ display gives comfortable room for browsing, streaming and apps—better than many ultra-cheap phones with smaller screens.
- 4G connectivity: At this price, getting 4G (rather than 3G only) is a plus for Kenya’s networks.
- Trusted brand & local availability: Infinix has presence and support in Kenya, which helps with parts, service and trust.
Weaknesses
- Very modest RAM & storage: 2 GB RAM + 32 GB storage means limitations in multitasking and storage space. You may need to manage apps and media carefully.
- Low resolution display: While the size is large, the resolution is HD+ only (~720p) so text and fine detail won’t be as sharp as Full HD phones.
- Basic camera quality: 8 MP main camera and 5 MP front camera are entry-level; low-light performance and fine photo detail will be weak compared to higher end phones.
- Basic performance: The SC9863A is sufficient for everyday tasks but not for heavy gaming, high-end apps or many simultaneous tasks.
- Few premium features: Don’t expect features like high refresh rate, advanced multi-camera setups, fast charging or ultra-premium build materials at this price.
