[Giznext Exclusive]: Infinix’s First 5G Smartphone Coming By January End, Says CEO

After creating all the buzz, Infinix has finally announced the launch of its first laptop for the Indian market. The InBook X1 laptop has been announced in three models and is expected to take on notebooks by Realme and Xiaomi.

Meanwhile, Giznext has managed to do an exclusive interaction with the company’s CEO, Anish Kapoor regarding the upcoming 5G smartphone and product lineup for the next year.

It is worth noting that the company has launched almost 14 smartphones this year and plans to bring the same number of devices in 2022. In addition, the company is all set to launch Note 11 and the Note 11S on December 13th, 2021.

Infinix 5G Smartphone

“We will be launching Note 11 and the Note 11S devices under Rs. 15,000,” he said. He exclusively informed Giznext that the company will be launching its first 5G smartphone by the end of the next month and it will be priced between Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 20,000 powered by the MediaTek processor.

This also means that the upcoming device might give a tough fight to the Poco M3 Pro 5G, Realme 8S 5G, and the Oppo A53s. All of these are budget 5G smartphones in the Indian market. Kapoor also said that the company is in talks with the telecom operators and will conduct trials when the device will be available.

“Our portfolio is ready but initially we will be launching one device,” he replied when asked the number of 5G devices Infinix will be bringing next year. Meanwhile, several reports surfacing claim that the Zero 5G will be the company’s first 5G smartphone, which might be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 5G processor.

It will also have a 120Hz Super AMOLED Display, a triple camera at the back, and the hole-punch camera cut out in the screen. Moreover, the leaks suggested that power and volume buttons will be placed on the right side of the smartphone, whereas the SIM card tray might sit on the left side of the device.

Upcoming Infinix Products In Q1 2022

Apart from launching its first 5G smartphone, the company is planning to launch approximately seven smartphones in the first half of the next year. Additionally, Infinix is planning another laptop that will be launched during the same period.

“Our team is already working and we will be launching a new laptop in the first half of the next year that will be aggressively priced,” Kapoor further said. Also, the company is expected to expand its smart television segment and plans to bring a 55-inch screen size at the same time.

The additional set of features here are Android 11 OS topped with a FunTouch OS 12 interface and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The handset will have a 44W fast charging support and a 4.050 mAh battery unit.
