Infinix has announced a new budget tablet in the Philippines, and it’s aiming squarely at the classroom. Meet the Infinix XPAD 30E.
The company is positioning this education-focused device as a “learning companion in the digital era,” packing it (and rightfully so) with AI tools and study resources designed to help students without breaking the bank.
The Infinix XPAD 30E is priced at ₱8,999 (around $150) for the base 4GB of physical RAM and 128GB of internal storage. For those who need more headroom, the 8GB/256GB variant will set you back ₱10,999 ($183). It’s available in three colorways — namely Dream Purple, Forest Green, and Deep Blue — and officially goes on sale beginning March 26 across all local e-commerce platforms, including the brand’s official website and its Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok shops.
For the launch, Infinix’s latest tablet will be available for as low as ₱7,999 ($133) for the 4GB/128GB kit, and ₱9,999 ($166) for the 8GB/256GB configuration. As if that wasn’s enough to tempt parents, early buyers get bundled freebies worth ₱4,000 ($67), which include a protective case, a keyboard, a one-year VIU subscription, plus access to a Summer Coding Bootcamp.
On the software front, the XPAD 30E comes loaded with the Infinix Learning app, which is built for kids from toddlers all the way up to 16-year-olds, reportedly boasting over 30,000 curated resources across 30 subjects.
Beyond that, the tablet offers a huge catalog of over 6,000 instructional videos, in addition to a dedicated “Edutainment Center” loaded with 14 expert-designed learning games. Factor in the preinstalled staples you already know, like Google Classroom, YouTube Kids, and Google Kids Space, and the XPAD 30E could double as a full-on digital classroom that grows with your child through high school — at least, to a certain extent.
Of course, it’s a 2026 gadget, so we also have to talk about AI. Thankfully, the company actually integrated it in a way that makes sense for its intended audience. The standout is a photo-to-solution tool. Just take a picture of a brutal math problem or a confusing physics concept, and the Infinix XPAD 30E breaks it down.
The clever part is there are separate Parent and Student modes. If it’s locked to Student mode, the AI won’t just hand over a cheat sheet. It acts like a real tutor, walking the kid through the steps so they actually learn how to solve it instead of just copying the final answer.
For everyday homework, holding the power button for half a second brings up a smart assistant that analyzes whatever is on the screen. It can translate text, identify objects, or pull up relevant info. There’s even a feature that lets you just circle anything on the display to search for it immediately. Think of it like Google’s Circle to Search, but baked right into the device’s learning tools.
And if a student is watching an online lecture, a simple two-finger press grabs text or charts straight from the video. That means no more endlessly scrolling through a messy camera roll of screenshots just to find one specific formula.
Underneath all that software, the Infinix XPAD 30E gets most of the hardware basics right for a student on the go. It features a rather spacious 11-inch display and a hefty 7,200mAh battery that should easily survive a full day of classes and homework. Just take note that it’s a MediaTek Helio G80 processor. Thankfully, the chip supports 4G LTE connections via a SIM slot, allowing for true mobile internet access.
