The growing online smartphone segment is fuelled by a consumer who is looking at specifications and performance in a very different way. He/she wants performers in every sphere of his/her own life including sports and the brands he/ she uses to in daily life. Football, embodies speed, agility and performance in the truest sense. Infinix’s product DNA too embodies the same spirit of venturing beyond specifications, delivering true performance and eventually being instrumental in changing the game. While Infinix has already established itself as a game changer in some global markets, now is the opportune time to change the game in India.
