We’re all preparing for Infinix to unveil the Infinix NOTE 5 and you probably have seen the teasers the company has been sending out through its social media platform about this. The NOTE 5 expected to be launched on June 24th in Dubai and that only means we should be having a local launch a week or even a few days after.
But even as we wait, Infinix has decided to first unveil the Infinix HOT S3. The device was launched early this year and was the company’s first smartphone to come with a Snapdragon processor. We never saw it in Kenya and we were not sure when Infinix was planning to launch it here or whether the company was planning to even launch it locally.
Our friends at TechArena had however reported that the Infinix HOT S3 will actually be available soon. And they were right.
