This latest offering from the Infinix series includes Note 30 Pro, Note 30 VIP, and Note 30 and features the brand’s hallmark charging capabilities, with an improved all-round fast charge solution that can reach up to 68W wired and 15W wirelessly.
The all-round fast charge solution can charge its 5000mAh battery from 1 per cent to 80 per cent in just 30 minutes. The solution not only delivers speed but also ensures safety, intelligence and flexibility.
Speaking during the launch at the Majilis Resort, Governor Timamy termed launch as a significant event in the world of technology.
“Infinix is known for its commitment to innovation and excellence. Lamu is embracing technological developments to bring prosperity to our people. From today I will have the county government only acquire the new Infinix Note 30 series for all our employees,” he said during the launch.
At the event, Infinix disclosed that it currently holds a 10 per cent market share in Kenya, positioning it among the top three smartphone brands in the country. In the high-end segment, the company said it has a 3 per cent market share.
However, Infinix has set an ambitious target to capture 30 per cent of the market share by 2026.
Performance and efficiency
To achieve this goal, the company is focusing on various marketing and corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to reach more Kenyans.
“We are dedicated to making a change this year. Everyone is dedicated. We need to target digital marketing. We want to do many localisation activities,” said Liang Zhang, Deputy General Manager at Infinix.
Infinix has partnered with Safaricom, Kenya’s leading telecommunications provider, to make the Note 30 series more accessible to Kenyans.
