InFocus Vision 3 Pro: Good battery, budget price
American- based smartphone company InFocus recently added one more smartphone to the fray with the Vision 3 Pro — an incremental update to the Vision 3. With the price starting at ` 10,999, the Vision 3 Pro brings in minor changes as compared to its predecessor, InFocus Vision 3.
The smartphone looks almost identical to its older variant and is equipped with an 18: 9 display, coming in at an HD+ ( 720x1440 pixels) resolution on a 5.7- inch panel.
The Vision 3 Pro is built around a MediaTek MT6750 octa- core chipset sporting 8 Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz. It is aided by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It’s disappointing to see InFocus still using the old Android 7.0 Nougat while rivals are adopting Oreo out- of- the- box. Overall, InFocus has merely upgraded the internals.
The smartphone works well for casual daily tasks. With 4GB of RAM, the phone manages to multitask pretty well. However, some minor lags were witnessed and the signs of stress noticed when loading a few heavier apps such as games and alike. The Vision 3 Pro also boasts of a 13MP + 8MP dual camera setup on the rear and clubs along a single LED flash. Images snapped in daylight turn out to be good. Move on to shaded areas and noise tends to intrude. In low- lighting, the camera struggles to get sharper images. Grainy images are well noticeable at most times. The 13MP selfie camera delivers decent photos which can be used for social media.
Moving ahead, the Vision 3 Pro hosts a similar 4000mAh battery to that on the predecessor. The smartphone easily manages to deliver an entire day’s worth of usage on a single charge.
To wrap up, the Vision 3 Pro doesn’t come out as a competent all- rounder. The device offers better specifications over the Vision 3, but probably fails to deliver in comparison to its Snapdragon rivals. A long- running battery life and a large display is probably the only redeeming quality of this smartphone. At ` 10,999, the device does seem a bit pricey as competition phones with similar price tags are able to offer a better performance in comparison.
