The fact Infinix is taking over the African smartphone market is not new. How this is happening however, is a trending debate. The now leading smartphone brand in Africa has a strong mobility both within and beyond the continent. This strong Infinix mobility matches with a similar online presence and superior unique mobile tech abilities.

Astonishingly, the Infinix product range is nothing compared with its’ competitors. Unlike them it covers the market with just two smartphone series, these are: Infinix ZERO and, the Infinix HOT. Whereas the ZERO series offers higher-end mobile tech specs targeting the fast emerging African middle class, Infinix HOT devices have mid-level technology that targets students & entrepreneurs.

The narrow product range enables the manufacturers to focus their attention on research, innovation, and development of each of the smartphone series. The fastest mobile phone’s manufacturer is said to have sold at least 150,000 products of its latest mobile phone devices as at now, three years since the company’s inception into the market. So it seems the slim product range allows it proper selling.
