Nairobi, Wednesday 09th December, 2015 – Leading
Smartphone and Tablet
manufacturer Infinix
Mobility has today launched a new smartphone device – Infinix Note
2 (X600) into the Kenyan market. The device, which comes with a 6-inch HD
display and a long-life battery with faster-charging capability, is an
improvement of the best-selling Infinix
Hot Note (X551) smartphone, which has sold over half a million units
in Kenya since its launch in February this year.
Making
the announcement, Infinix Mobility Managing Director and Co-Founder Mr. Benjamin
Jiang said the new Note 2 device has been designed to meet the demands of
Kenyan consumers, who are keen on optimising productivity using smart devices
as well as enjoying quality.
Mr.
Jiang said: “Kenyan consumers are today more productive than before because
they have defined the value of mobile technology and how smart devices can help
them achieve more in their daily lives.”
“We
want to provide affordable, yet powerful devices, that will not only fulfil the aspirations of young
people in Kenya, but also enhance their experience through new and innovative
features,” he added.
Mr
Jiang, noted that Kenya remains a key market for Infinix Mobility, owing to the
country’s versatility and experience in mobile telephony. The CEO acknowledged
that since the company’s entry into this market, barely two years ago, there
has been significant uptake of its products among Kenyan consumers, owing to
its emphasis on quality, affordability and innovation. The CEO estimates the
company’s market share to be 20% of the total handset sales despite controlling
80% of the inline sales through e-commerce website http://infinix.jumia.co.ke
“We
have made deliberate investments in continuous Research and Development to
enable us deliver quality products at the very minimal costs. Our
factory-to-consumer (F2C) model of business also continues to further our goal
of delivering a quality handset to the hands of every Kenyan,” Mr. Jiang explained.
The
Infinix Note 2 (X600) device comes in a sleek design with a 2-day battery life
supported by a large capacity battery of 4040mAh. This is combined with a power
saving software and energy-efficient design to significantly prolong the
device’s battery life.
Unlike
most smartphone devices, the Infinix Note 2 (X600) device’s dual charging mode
fully charges about 25% of the battery (an equivalent of 1000mAh) in 15
minutes; which in turn supports up to 8 hours of talk time on a 2G network and
6 and a half hours on 3G talking. Alternatively, sixty (60) minutes can charge
up to 97%; whereas the battery will fully charge on 90 minutes.
The
device has a 5.98 inch display screen, which is a significant improvement on
the previous version with a high screen–to-body ratio of 85.78 percent. The huge display gives users more space to
experience various applications including streaming high quality videos (or
even movies), reading e-books as well as playing games.
Aesthetically,
the X600 device has a radian arc design with an elegant texture that gives
users a perfect hand feeling. It comes in intricate patterns and bold colour
combinations for personalized style and fashion. Similarly, the device has an
upgraded 13Mega Pixel camera (from the previous 8MP camera on the Hot Note),
which enables superior picture quality and faster focus to give users an
opportunity to capture special moments. This is also complement by an internal
memory of 16GB giving users more storage space.
The
X600 device is available on Jumia
and will retail at KES12, 499. According to Mr. Jiang, Infinix Mobility
remains keen on growing its market share in Kenya, pegging on its unique
attributes and affordability of its devices.
