Infinix is another brand that is gearing up to launch its first 5G smartphone in the Indian market. After Tecno, Infinix has also announced its next 5G handset for the Indian market. The Infinix Zero 5G which has been subject to multiple leaks is now finally confirmed to arrive in the second week of February in the country. Following is when the company has planned the launch of its first 5G phone in India along with the features and specifications:

Infinix Zero 5G India Launch Confirmed For This Month

The Infinix Zero 5G will be officially launched on valentine’s day in India, i.e, February 14. A dedicated product page of the first 5G phone has been updated at the e-commerce portal Flipkart. The microsite on the online retailer has confirmed the upcoming launch. Notably, the launch was earlier tipped for February  8 which for some reason got delayed.

Nevertheless, now we know when the Infinix 5G phone will finally go official in the Indian market. The product page on the e-commerce portal has also revealed the key features. The pricing details are at large. But, there are speculations Infinix could price the Zero 5G under Rs. 20,000 in India. That’s similar to what the leaks have tipped for the Tecno’s first 5G phone, i.e, the Pova 5G.

According to the e-commerce listing, the Infinix Zeto 5G will be launched with the Dimensity 900 processor. The octa-core MediaTek 5G processor will come with 13 5G bands support. It will be combined with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The Zero 5G will be pre-installed with Android 11 OS topped with a custom XOS interface.

The upcoming Infinix 5G will be packed with a triple rear camera setup where the primary sensor would be a 48MP AI lens. The Zero 5G will be announced with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display. The panel will feature a punch-hole camera cutout and will support an FHD+ screen resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate. The handset will feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and get its backup via a 5,000 mAh battery unit. It will come with 33W fast charging support.
   

Tecno is ready to foray into the 5G smartphone race in India with the Pova 5G. There have been numerous leaks hinting at the February second week launch in the country. Giznext had also reported exclusively the same. Now, an official tweet has revealed the exact launch date of the Tecno Pova 5G in India.

Tecno Pova 5G Official India Launch Next Week

The Tecno Pova 5G is slated for February 8 launch in India. The arrival date for the first 5G Tecno phone has been confirmed via an official tweet. A short video is also shared showing the Pova 5G’s prowess and the design language which is exactly identical to the international variant.

That’s a punch-hole display and a dual-textured back panel housing a vertical camera module with three large sensors placed on the top-left corner. The volume keys and the power key embedded with a physical fingerprint scanner are positioned on the right spine. Besides, the aforementioned launch date, the official tweet also confirms up to 11GB LPPDR5 RAM with Memory Fusion technology.

The rumor mill has also been churning out details related to the pricing and availability. The handset is already confirmed to debut exclusively on Amazon in India. The online retailer has also uploaded a dedicated product page for the Tecno Pova 5G ahead of the next week’s launch in the country. The ‘Notify Me’ tab is also live on the retailing website.

The Tecno Pova 5G specifications listed on the Amazon microsite include the Dimensity 900 5G chipset and 11GB RAM. Just for reference, the exact RAM capacity would be 8GB RAM. However, the company has equipped its first 5G phone with Memory Fusion technology that will supplement an additional 3GB RAM capacity. It will be pre-installed with the new HiOS 6 user interface.

The Tecno Pova 5G’s Amazon web page listing also confirms a humongous 6,000 mAh battery. It will support 18W fast charging. The display and camera specifications are not mentioned on the Amazon microsite. But the remaining features will also be identical to the global variant. That said, the triple rear camera setup on the Pova 5G is said to comprise a 50MP main sensor. The panel it is said to use will be LCD measuring 6.9-inches with 120Hz refresh rate and 120Hz refresh rate.

Poco is all set to start its innings in 2022 with the Poco M4 Pro launch in India. The mid-range 5G phone has already made its way to the internal market last year in November as the rebadged Redmi Note 11 5G. The company has shared a cryptic tweet suggesting a new launch soon in the Indian market. But an exclusive report by 91Mobile confirms it to be the Poco M4 Pro 5G itself.

Poco M4 Pro Confirmed Heading To The Indian Market

The official tweet shared by Poco hints at the upcoming launch with the tagline “Step up with 4”. The company is essentially dropping clues about the Poco M4 Pro’s arrival in the country. On the other hand, publication 91Mobiles has shared an exclusive report that also tips the Poco M4 Pro’s launch in the country soon.

Unfortunately, neither Poco nor the report by the publications confirms the exact launch date. But the handset has cleared multiple certifications already and is likely to launch sometime soon. The company could introduce the Poco M4 Pro this month itself in India. But we will have to wait for some confirmations.

It is not known if this handset will be announced with standard 4G connectivity or 5G. That’s considering the Poco M4 Pro 4G is also doing rounds for a while online. Therefore, it remains to be seen if the brand brings the 4G or the 5G model first.

If it’s the latter, we can expect it to be the rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11 5G as the Chinese counterpart. But if the brand introduces the Poco M4 Pro 4G model, we might be looking at the rebadged Redmi Note 11S model. Nevertheless, the Poco M4 Pro official teaser shows the blue color variant. We can expect some additional color options as well.

The leaks have also tipped a sub Rs. 20,000 price tag. But, it is not clear if the handset will be launched in single or multiple configurations. Therefore, we can’t speculate on the exact pricing or the range in which the upcoming Poco mid-range phone will be tagged. We will keep an eye on all the details such as pricing, features, and availability. So, make sure you stay tuned with us.

Just yesterday, a new iQOO 9 series phone was tipped to launch alongside the remaining two variants in India. The rumored handset is the iQOO 9 SE whose upcoming arrival has now been confirmed by the company itself. It will be the low-end variant in the entire iQOO 9 series. Separately, the iQOO 9 series online India availability has also been confirmed.

iQOO 9 SE Officially Confirmed

As mentioned above, the iQOO 9 SE has been confirmed by the company itself. The brand has only announced the existence of the third model in the iQOO 9 series and not the launch timeline. Therefore, it would be hard to say for sure if it will be introduced alongside the remaining two models, i.e, the iQOO 9 and the iQOO 9 Pro. We are expecting some official information to be shared soon.

As for the standard and the Pro iQOO 9 models, they both will be making their debut exclusively at Amazon in India. A dedicated microsite for the upcoming flagship gaming series had been made live.  At the time of writing, only the upcoming series’ moniker has been confirmed. The features and availability details are yet to be updated. But, that wouldn’t take long considering the launch is taking place this month.
