Infinix

The premium, mid-range smartphone segment in India has seen a surge in the number of launches lately. Most smartphone companies have launched new options around Rs. 30,000, which is considered to be the new entry-point for premium devices. Infinix, a company known for its budget and mid-range smartphones in India, has launched its first premium smartphone in the country.

With 5G networks now available in major cities, Indians are still paying the ‘5G tax'. This basically means that as a buyer, if you choose a 5G-capable smartphone, you end up with less capable hardware and features because 5G has been prioritised over everything else. This is felt the most in the budget segment, because of the rising cost of hardware. The recipe for cooking up a budget 5G smartphone for India has been the same since they started appearing in the first half of 2021. Now, Infinix has just launched its version of a budget 5G smartphone, the Hot 20 5G, so let's see if anything has changed.
