The company makes smartphones that run the Android operating system. It was founded in 2013. The firm claims to have local subsidiaries in over 60 countries.
The world of foldable phones was once reserved for those willing to spend a significant amount, but that's no longer the case. Last year, Motorola and Tecno were among the first to introduce affordable clamshell foldable phones in India, and this year, Infinix has joined the fray. In October, Infinix launched its first foldable phone in the country – the Zero Flip. The phone is priced at Rs. 49,999 and offers standout features such as a large cover screen, the largest battery in the segment, and more.
Infinix has made steady efforts to make its presence felt in the laptop segment. The brand has consistently launched laptops that cater to different segments like gaming or thin and light categories. With the launch of its Inbook Air Pro+, the company plans to disrupt the market with some value-for-money proposition. Priced at Rs. 49,990, the latest laptop from the brand comes loaded with some interesting specifications, including a slim and lightweight design, a 13th Intel Core i5 processor, an OLED display, and more. So, does it make sense to go for this laptop? Let's find out in this in-depth review.
Like most budget tablets available in India, Infinix's first tablet, the XPad, has been designed to focus on content consumption, with large displays accompanied by loudspeakers. But adding cellular connectivity at Rs. 12,999 (for the base 4GB + 128GB variant) means you can also place calls with it, adding extra value. We received the top-end 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant for this review, which is priced at Rs. 15,999, which is a competitive price tag for a budget tablet. Indeed, Infinix seems to have gotten the value quotient right from the get-go. However, what makes budget devices interesting is finding out where manufacturers cut corners. And boy, was I in for a few surprises!
Infinix should stop using the Zero moniker for their phones because, honestly, their phones are not what they used to be. The new Infinix Zero 40 5G is not a zero. The phone, at a starting price of Rs. 27,999, offers a lot of features. Infinix also claims that the Zero 40 5G is the first phone in its segment to offer 4K 60fps video recording on both front and rear cameras and to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide rear camera. It's also the first Infinix phone to launch with Infinix AI.
