Popularity Of Infinix Mobile

Infinix mobile is arguably one of the biggest mobile brand names in Africa. This is simply because the android smartphones built by them are cheap and affordable.

Another major thing that keeps that has helped them become a big brand name in Africa is because of the battery power. The average Infinix mobile device normally packs a 2500mAh battery and above.

Consistency has been key to the brand’s popularity. As they have been bringing out low budget devices every now and then. In Nigeria Infinix mobile and Tecno mobile share more than 50% capital of the smartphones market. As well as in Kenya and Ghana.

Infinix Smartphone Are Top-Notch Budget Smartphones

All this has been possible because their phones are targeted at Africans. In Asia where they come from they hardly command any traffic. The high level of competition that exists between Samsung, Huawei, and the fast-growing Xiaomi makes it difficult.

According to reliable sources, Infinix has never sold a single unit of its smartphone in China. This is because of the existing competitions and better quality available in the Chinese market.

DESIGN AND AESTHETICS

When it comes to designs the mobile brand fared pretty well although they are very slow in keeping up with the standards that are maintained by top android manufactures in the world.

We can generally relate that this happens because the phones are mostly a low budget smartphone with a few mid-range devices.

Giving in to their latest designs especially with the infinix S4 because I have a personal user experience I can see that they are trying to keep up with the standard.

Quick Pick On Infinix Hot S4 Review

The Hot S4 does not have a big bezel or chin making its screen to body ratio very high and also allows you to watch videos in full-screen resolutions which is one promising improvement compare to Infinix Hot S3.

The waterdrop notch houses a 32MP selfie camera on the front of the device, high-end selfie pictures are guaranteed. And more to it the selfie camera is empowered with some Emoji to make your photography a fun experience.

On the other hand, looking at the Infinix Note 6 recently released. You will notice that it doesn’t pack many attributes when compared to the Infinix S4 but it sells for a higher price.

The design is not pleasing in the eyes, the only outstanding feature to me is the AMOLED screen of the device. Majority of their mobile devices were been shipped with IPS LCD capacitive touch screens. But, with this, it is a sign of improvement which is nice.

They normally have plastic or metal frames. Until recently we’ve seen them adopt the glastic back covers for their devices thereby making them more beautiful and more attractive.

Infinix mobile has built a reputation for creating a well-tailored brand of android smartphones that suits the African continent. Be it camera, processors, quality, durability and a user-friendly (XOS) interface for any of their mobile smartphones that will handle your daily task perfectly.

Problems Faced By Infinix Mobile

Infinix mobile devices are not generally without any problems. But wait, is there any brand of Android smartphone in the world that doesn’t have its own fair share of the problem. From bloatware, occasional lag, and software problems?

Sometimes Infinix mobile users complain about the heaviness of their device, slow charging (giving the nature of electricity problems across the continent they need to improve this aspect).

Overheating problems, lack of software updates, Laging or hanging when it comes to dealing with heavy apps or games that requires a high level of GPU.  To me, all this boils down to the price. But I still believe that the brand can improve all these things to the nearest minimum.

The Future Of Inifnix Mobile

What does the future hold for Infinix mobile in Africa?   

 

The Slogan from this prestigious brand is

The Future is Now

The big Android brands are now taking a new look at the African market. This is because they have seen the enormous rewards that brands like Infinix mobile and Tecno mobile have reaped over time.

But, with these big brands coming into Africa. This means Infinix mobile must quickly move at the same pace or even faster than these brands. As they have a 5th sense of the African Smartphone market.

Samsung introduced its A-series line in Nigeria. And Android users have opted for the devices because of its features and giving its low price. For example, the Samsung Galaxy A20 and the Infinix S4 are priced within the same range. But The Features are not the same. Some people will go for the Samsung Galaxy A20 because of its screen powers.

Another notable one is the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 in Lagos, Nigeria. The phone’s gorilla glass screen feature relates well if you look at how we handle our devices daily.

Currently, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is one of the sorts after phone globally. Xiaomi is also expected to launch the much talked about Redmi Mi 9t / Redmi K20 in Lagos, Nigeria soon. As well as the Redmi 7a.

Another notable problem is the ever-growing presence of Huawei across the continent. With the introduction of budget and mid-range devices. These devices offer high quality and good user interface they are slowly making a name across the continent.

The mobile brand must look at these competitions with both eyes widely open. As they could get them out of business on the African continent.
