Swan.my.id - Infinix has introduced the Infinix Smart 20e in Indonesia, adding a new option to its Smart 20 smartphone family. The phone went on sale after its local launch on November 10, 2026, with NFC, a 120Hz display and a single available memory configuration. Its listed price is Rp2,699,000.

The Smart 20e shares a broad design resemblance with the regular Smart 20, but the two models differ in several important areas. Those include their processors, screen designs, battery capacities and connectivity features. Here is what the new model offers and how its specifications compare.

Infinix Smart 20e keeps a familiar design

Infinix gives the Smart 20e a large rear camera module, a prominent visual feature that it shares with the regular Smart 20. The LED light beside the rear camera has a framed design on the 20e, however, rather than the plain treatment used on its sibling. From the front, the 20e has a notch for the selfie camera.

The phone comes in four colors: Night Pulse, Silver Dancer, Deep Cherry and Hush Blue. While the overall design may look familiar to people who know the regular model, the different camera-light detail helps distinguish the 20e. Its appearance is only one part of the comparison, though, since the internal specifications also differ.

A 120Hz display with a 6.75-inch screen

The Smart 20e uses a 6.75-inch display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. That screen is slightly smaller than the 6.78-inch panel on the regular Smart 20. The two also use different front-camera layouts: a notch on the 20e and a punch-hole design on the regular model.

Infinix lists a maximum brightness of 700 nits when the screen uses High Brightness Mode, or HBM. This setting is intended to help keep content legible in bright surroundings. The 120Hz refresh rate, meanwhile, allows the display to refresh more often than a standard 60Hz panel. How smooth that feels can depend on what the user is doing and whether an app supports higher refresh rates.

Unisoc processor and expandable storage

An octa-core Unisoc T7250 processor powers the Smart 20e. That sets it apart from the regular Smart 20, which uses a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultimate. The available Smart 20e configuration pairs the Unisoc chip with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Users can also add a microSD card with a capacity of up to 2TB. That gives them an option to expand space for items such as photos, videos, documents and other files. Infinix has said that it plans to offer additional configurations later: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage, 4GB with 128GB, and 8GB with 128GB. The company has not announced prices or availability details for those versions.

Battery capacity, operating system and software features

The phone has a 5,000mAh battery, slightly less capacity than the 5,200mAh battery in the regular Smart 20. Infinix includes a feature it calls Self-Healing Battery, which is designed to help maintain battery health over longer-term use. The company has not provided a specific battery-life estimate in the available product details.

The Smart 20e runs XOS 16.3, based on Android 16. It also includes Efficient Data Saver, a tool intended to help users monitor and manage their mobile data consumption. These software features sit alongside the phone’s hardware differences, giving buyers more to consider than screen size or battery capacity alone.

NFC, 4.5G and touch support in the rain

NFC is one of the notable additions to the Smart 20e. Infinix says users can use it to share files and top up electronic money. The regular Smart 20 did not include NFC, so this feature marks a practical difference between the two models.

The Smart 20e also supports 4.5G networks. Its Rain-Responsive Touch feature is designed to keep the display responsive when water droplets reach the screen. These features address different everyday situations, but they do not replace the need to check network availability or follow the requirements of a particular electronic-money service.

IP64 rating and boosted audio

Infinix lists an IP64 rating for the device, which provides protection against dust and splashes of water. The company also says the phone can withstand impact from a fall of up to 1.5 meters, based on its laboratory testing. That claim describes a test result; it should not be taken as a guarantee against damage in every real-world fall.

For sound, the device offers a feature called 200% Boosted Volume. Infinix says it can increase audio output by up to 200 percent, with the aim of making calls, voice messages and videos easier to hear in noisy environments. Actual results may vary with the content and surroundings.

Price and available configuration in Indonesia

In Indonesia, the Infinix Smart 20e costs Rp2,699,000 for the currently listed model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The three other memory combinations are planned for a later release, but Infinix has not shared their prices. Buyers considering the phone should therefore distinguish the announced configuration from those future options.

The Smart 20e brings together a high-refresh-rate screen, NFC, expandable storage and a 5,000mAh battery. Its main points of comparison with the regular Smart 20 include the Unisoc processor, smaller display and lower battery capacity. For shoppers, the decision may come down to which features matter most—and whether the available 6GB/128GB version fits their budget and storage needs.
