Infinix XOS 15 review (on the Infinix Note 50X) it's a *very* feature packed software, with better animations even at ₹10,500. (1/12)
9. First Party Apps
🟢Gallery has search, is very well organized
🟢Calculator has all the features you need. Clock, Calendar are both good too.
🟢Stock dialler is really good, has call recording too
🟢Notes app has no missing functions
-Weather app is fine, till it kicks you into a Browser for very basic info that should have instead been expanded there
-Settings app is neatly designed, things are easy to find
- X Message is trash, poorly designed & doesn't even have support for RCS
Just switch to Google Messages instead
Camera App
🟢Pro Mode
🟢Dedicated Night Toggle
🟢Document scanner works well
❌'AI' Camera & Gallery- the names are so bad
❌Immature app, cannot even use thumb swipes for navigation, cluttered with AI Slop
❌Very limited settings
❌AI auto video editor tops out at 30FPS

-First party photo editing suite except missing eraser
-Video editor is also fine
-Can crop the subject, and save it to the smart bar
-Screenshot annotation is perfect
-Third video shows what it came up with for the 'Video Vlog' thingy.
🔴Something very annoying in general about this skin, is that the bottom navigation bars for any app (1st party) are not swipable. You *have* to tap on them, can't slide. The camera app missing thumb gestures for operation is another annoyance.
🟢Speaking of updates, it's right now on the July 2025 patch! That's as fast as... uh, the Xiaomi 14 which also went from May to July update (14 still has June patch but whatever)
Summary
🟢Multitasking, (mostly) customization
🟢Feature suite
🟢Animations (mostly)
🟢Battery, RAM optimization
🔴Camera app
🔴Feels heavy to use, quite slow in many places
🔴Missing some AOSP basics, cuts down some features that can be *easily* added
🔴Mixed UI design with no originality
🔴Bad haptic implementation
🔴Some of the worst widgets on any skin
🔴Buggy

1. Third party widget animations (Not totally broken, but not good, very laggy)
2. First party widget animations (Good. If only there were actually some good widgets for this)
Yeah, spacing and all is fine but what's the use.

Conclusion
Color OS at ~16K starting with K13 becomes good, but is horrible at 10.5K.
For 10.5K..
Nothing OS doesn't sell at 10.5K, FunTouch OS does not either, Realme UI is horrible, forget Android Go, & ignore Poco. One UI 7 might compete well
For 10,000 to ~16,000 better take this over the others in terms of software. After 16K it's still Color OS, FunTouch OS, & Nothing OS that are far better skins overall than this. Oh yes, this is far better than Hyper OS for Poco & Redmi as well, but that is not a super high bar to clear.
Final words, Infinix/ Tecno have done a very good job with XOS/ Hi OS 15, this is a step in the right direction.
Circle to Search is there, yes, it works, but is quite laggy and also slow,
There's a 1st-party Circle to Search 'clone' called 'Folax Smart' or something, just use C2S instead

Redmi Turbo 5 / Poco X8 Pro could be the first device to come with this SoC.
Some other phones like Oppo Reno 15 Series & Vivo phones will come with this SoC
