Infinix has opened office in 6 African countries which include Nigeria, Ghana, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Kenya. They are offering a series of affordable smartphones and tablets with some jaw dropping specs and prices. In the smartphone category, Infinix offers the Alpha, Race, Surf, Diamond and Zero series. For tablets they have the “Joypad” 7, 8, 8S and 10 series. However Infinix is a completely new brand in the Ugandan market. The device marker will have to compete with established brands like Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Huawei, HTC and Tecno. The vendor is wise enough to offer devices with high-end specs at irresistible prices just like Chinese phone Vendor Tecno — a strategy that has made it extremely successful in markets like Nigeria.
