Is Infinix SMART 20 HD a 5G phone?

No. Infinix SMART 20 HD is 4G only, so it cannot use Jio or Airtel 5G, even with a 5G SIM and a 5G plan.

Should I buy Infinix SMART 20 HD in 2026?

Tuvvo suggests skipping it. 156 of the 192 phones launched in India in 2026 so far are 5G (81%), and a phone bought today should keep up for 3 to 4 years. Buy a 5G phone instead: the closest we recommend start at ₹11,999.

Which 5G phone should I buy instead of Infinix SMART 20 HD?

At ₹10,999, the closest 5G phones on Tuvvo's shortlist are Lava Shark 2 5G (₹11,999), Poco C85x 5G (₹14,999), Lava Virat V1 Pro 5G (₹15,999).

I already own Infinix SMART 20 HD. Do I need to replace it?

No rush. 4G networks keep working in India, so a 4G phone still makes calls, runs apps and uses mobile data. Pick 5G when you next buy.
