Can we actually take a second to talk about the Infinix Smart 9? I was just scrolling through some old photos and realized how much of a literal life-saver that phone was for us. Like, remember when we were all obsessed with finding something that wouldn't die mid-scroll but also didn't cost a whole month's allowance? That phone was such a mood. I honestly liked the 90Hz screen because, for a budget device, the scrolling on TikTok and IG was actually lowkey smooth. It didn't feel like those other cheap phones that glitch if you even think about opening two apps at once. Even when I used it for WhatsApp chat for hours, the battery lasted long. That 5000mAh was the real MVP, no cap. I remember being out all day, literally draining my time on social media, and I’d look down and still have battery left. Even though the charging felt like it took a whole business day since it was only 10W, it didn't even matter because you weren't constantly hunting for a plug anyway.
And don't even get me started on the random infrared sensor, the amount of times I used that to mess with the TV or the AC in the middle of a lecture was actually fun for me. It was such a niche feature to have on a phone that was that cheap. It felt like we were winning.
Even the 13MP camera was definitely a "well-lit vibes only" situation for the grid, even for those random selfies or quick snaps for the story, it did the job. Plus, the phone was so light. I mean you could hold that thing for a three-hour FaceTime call and your wrist wouldn't even be tired.
I know we’ve all moved on to bigger things now, but the Smart 9 really held it down for the students and the late-night chatters, and even me. It was just that reliable bestie that never asked for too much but always showed up. It’s wild how a phone that simple could be such a core part of the daily grind.

Abeg, let’s talk about the gbedu that just happened.
If you missed the Infinix takeover at Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja, that happened from December 8th to 14th, then you definitely missed a major vibe!
No cap, Infinix shut down the city and gave us a proper Detty December kick-off.
Infinix didn't just sell phones, they threw a party and gifted everyone who showed up. The promo ran for a whole week, from the 8th right up until yesterday, the 14th of December, and the main event where the 30BG Boss himself, Davido, showed up was the ultimate flex!
Every single customer who walked into that Infinix Flagship Store and bought a device during the promo period secured the bag! They all got a scratch-and-win card, and guess what? Everyone won! Whether it was cool accessories, major branded merch, or other tech gifts, nobody went home feeling like a loser. Infinix really said, "We are sharing the wealth!" and we absolutely loved to see it!
But the peak of the moment was the 100% cashback opportunity. Imagine shelling out money for a brand-new phone only for Infinix to tell one lucky customer, "Oshey! We are refunding your full money back!" That is a Christmas miracle that truly bussed! The winner of that cashback and the other top grand-prize winners from the scratch-and-win promo got the ultimate treat: an exclusive meet-and-greet with the champ himself, Davido, on the 14th! That's not just a handshake; that's a whole moment with one of Africa's biggest global icons, all thanks to Infinix.
Seriously, we need to give Infinix their flowers. They did the most for their customers, combining innovation with pure entertainment and real-life rewards. The whole week was a movie, and yesterday's Davido visit was the epic final scene! Big ups to Infinix for always prioritizing their fans and giving them moments that they will high-key never forget. They don't just sell gadgets; they sell experiences and good vibes! Infinix is the greatest, periodt...

Nor be small thing Infinix dey do this period.
Have you guys seen the Infinix XPad Edge? E be like say this tab is here to slay and scatter everywhere for productivity and enjoyment! No cap! This is the ultimate tool for the student who wants to crush assignments and the hustler who needs a powerful on-the-go office. Mark your calendar, my people. December 18th is the day this machine is officially launching, but trust me, the vibe is global, and we are counting down to see this beauty land in Naija! Infinix is telling us straight up: this tab is a Win for your life. Forget those heavy blocks. This Edge is slim-slim at just 6.19mm and weighs only 588g, that's ultra-lightweight. The unibody metal design? Boujee! E get that premium drip that makes you look like you have your life together, even if your account balance is still loading.
But wait, the screen is where the real magic is at. Get ready to flex on a massive 13.2-inch display. The resolution is a massive 2,400 x 1,600 pixels (that’s 2.4K, abeg!) with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. Whether you are binge-watching the latest series, gaming, or just designing a huge spreadsheet, the view is going to be crisp, clear, and high-key cinematic. Plus, it has TÜV Rheinland eye protection certification, so your eyes will be safe while you're busy dominating.
And for the sound, you get four speakers! Yes, you heard me right, quad-speakers! Infinix said the sound is way louder, up to 300% louder compared to those other regular tablets.
Prepare for an immersive theatre experience that will make you forget you're holding a tablet. If the sound is not bussin', then I don't know what is!
This XPad Edge is not just for enjoyment; e go give your hustle a proper glow up. It comes with WPS Office pre-installed, as in you go straight to business. You can multi-task like a CEO with essential features like split screen, parallel windows, phone casting, and even using it as a PC secondary display for an extended workspace. Big win for the us.
Infinix has also packaged a proper suite of features, including the new Folax voice assistant, Hi Translation for breaking language barriers sharp-sharp, AI Smart Screen Recognition, and even AI Creation tools. Need to translate something? Easy Need your tab to figure things out for you or help you create content? Easypeasy.
For connectivity, the tab supports both 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, so whether you are at home or you're outside, your connection is lit and stable, ensuring you never miss a beat.
Now, let's talk about the specs we caught when the tea spilled on Shopee. It's powered by the reliable Snapdragon 685 chipset and running on the latest Android 15 out of the box. High-key good performance for everyday tasks and serious work. We're talking a massive 8GB RAM plus additional expansion options, and 256GB storage, which you can even expand up to 2TB using a microSD card. Storage is officially not a problem. It also rocks an 8MP camera on both the front and the rear, perfect for video calls, online classes, and quick snaps. A strong 8,000mAh battery with 18W wired charging means e go hold body, so you can keep on going through your day without constant searching for a wall socket.
This tablet is coming in a sleek Celestial Ink grey, perfect for the main character vibe.
The bottom line for all these is that the Infinix XPad Edge is coming to change the game, offering PC-level productivity and major entertainment vibes in a super-slim, premium body, and I am so amped for this drop.

Okay, brands are now leaning into the thin-and-light vibe, and sure, the iPhone Air is doing the most with the whole 'thin' thing, and honestly, most of the phones I tried in 2025 weren't even chunky. That's the real flex!
But the real winner for the slim and thin budget phone is The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+. It dropped back in August and it is an entry-level phone that's literally just 6mm thick. Six! That's how it got the title of the thinnest budget phone. And before you're like, "Ew, tiny battery," nope. It's rocking a solid 5,160mAh cell. Period.

Infinix absolutely slayed the design, TBH. It's got a polycarbonate mid-frame and a fiberglass back, super durable and you can even get it in eco leather. The colors are loud and proud, and the etched lines give it major character. My unit is the yellow one and it's just chef's kiss.
While everyone is going for the basic, boxy look, this Infinix device served dual-curved sides. It's giving main character energy and that's why it exceeded better than any other budget device we got this year.

And to add to the gist, Infinix just announced they're collaborating with the legendary Italian design house Pininfarina! You know, the fancy car people! I'm genuinely stoked to see how their phones level up in 2026. They're trying to hit the high-end market, and honestly, if they keep this design energy, I could see it. Manifesting a stunning 2026 lineup!
But for now, the Hot 60 Pro+ is one of their best one yet. Beyond the gorgeous design, they gave us a huge 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED screen and the MediaTek Helio G200 is decent enough.
The 50MP camera is super dope too. The battery life is pretty good, and the screen is bright enough for your outdoor selfies. And for the price, It’s a solid deal, and the design looks like it should cost three times as much. Big win for aesthetics there.
Regardless of it all, the Infinix lineup for this year was effortlessly chic, and I look forward to what they will deliver to us next year 2026... Fingers crossed

It's Giving End of the Year Vibes already!!!
I mean can we just acknowledge that it’s almost 2026?! Like, where did the year even go? It feels like just last week we were all hyping up the first major phone drops of the year, and now we’re basically getting ready to do it all again. Time is just glitching.
But before we fully yeet ourselves into the new year, we have to talk about the real main character of 2025 tech, and that's Infinix!
No cap, they slayed this year with their drops. We had the Note Series pulling up with that premium, no-lag performance, the Hot Series giving us a budget-friendly glow-up with amazing batteries, and let's not forget the GT Series for all my gamers who need that serious, non-stop performance. Every release was a total win, and my 'For You' page was absolutely living for the reviews.
So, I need the full tea from you guys, because my camera roll is currently living rent-free in my head with all the new features. It's time for the 2025 Vibe Check!

The Ultimate Question: Which Infinix Phone ATE This Year?
I’m high-key obsessed with the whole vibe, but I wanna know which one you are still holding onto, or which one you think had the biggest rizz factor.
Which Infinix phone that came out in 2025 is your absolute favourite? Was it the Note 50 Pro with the Davido AI Assistant? Or maybe the super sleek, HOT 60 Pro+ that was serving looks and 50MP camera excellence?
And what is the ONE feature that hits different? Is it the super-fast 144Hz refresh rate that makes scrolling feel like silk? The 90W fast charging that gets you to 100% before your Starbucks order is ready? Or maybe it's some sneaky AI editing feature in the XOS that has been a total life hack for your content?
Drop your answers below! Give me the full breakdown.

I am actually vibrating with excitement right now because Infinix just pulled off the ultimate flex!
Seriously, grab your coffee and settle in, because the phone world is about to get a major glow-up, thanks to a brand new, super-major collab! Infinix is officially teaming up with Pininfarina! Yup, you got that right... The Pininfarina, the legendary Italian design house that makes like, the most iconic, drool-worthy cars.
They made the announcement at the Business of Design Week 2025, and get this, the very first baby of this power partnership is going to be the upcoming NOTE 60 Ultra.
I mean, can you even IMAGINE the slay? It's like uniting Pininfarina’s iconic, timeless Italian design vibes (pure elegance, emotion, and that legacy) with Infinix’s whole 'pushing the boundaries of tech innovation' energy.
Tony Zhao, the Infinix CEO, even said this is a huge step for leveling up their future products and setting a new aesthetic benchmark for flagship phones. Basically, they're not just making a phone; they're creating a piece of art that you can text on.
This is definitely going to be premium, high-end, and absolutely design-driven, a true masterpiece for our hands!
And okay, not to get all corporate, but it makes total sense why Infinix is doing this. They've been low-key crushing it! According to the IDC Mobile Phone Tracker, Infinix had the largest quarter-on-quarter shipment increase in Southeast Asia in Q2 2025. They're on the rise, guyssssss. They're hitting their stride and now they're ready to get fancy.
Fabio Calorio, the Senior VP of Brand over at Pininfarina, is clearly stoked too. He's talking about how this is a great opportunity to blend their nearly century-old legacy of Italian design excellence with the tech world. He’s all about combining beauty and performance to make a lasting impact on our user experience! It's giving "purity, timeless design, and emotion in form", exactly what we want!
Me is already obsessed! We're talking about a phone that's going to be a total moment. I need to know everything about the design philosophy, the features (will it charge itself with good vibes?), and of course, the availability!
I'm literally manifesting this phone into my life right now. The full details are dropping in the next few days, so you KNOW I'll be refreshing my apps steadily.
Stay tuned, because the NOTE 60 Ultra is about to be the main character!
I think this is actually going to be sleek with a red Italian finish, what do you think??

If you haven't sorted your Christmas list yet, no need to worry, cus you're in good hands. If you're yet to figure out what to get your bestie, your family member or even yourself, then pay attention to this post. Infinix is currently doing a sale, and the sale is literally running, in fact, it has started since December 6th and will run till 12th, 2025, with deals up to 40% OFF and a chance to get an XPAD 20 Pro in a giveaway, which is just insane.
I'm already manifesting that.

So they highlighted four main characters in the Infinix lineup, and each one is serving a totally different aesthetic. First, there's the NOTE 50 Pro 5G, and this one is for the main character who’s constantly doing things. You know, the friend who’s answering emails on the way to the mall, editing a quick vlog between classes, and always needs their phone alive, no time for flat battery anxiety here. This phone sounds like the ultimate commuter/content creator ally, keeping up with fast connectivity so your TikTok drafts upload instantly and having a screen that won't totally wreck your eyes when you’re doom-scrolling late at night. The suggestion to pair it with a slim power bank and a soft case? Chef's kiss. It's giving "dependable, but make it effortlessly stylish."
Then we switch gears to the GT 30, which is clearly for the gamers and the power users, the ones who are built different. If your friend treats their phone like a performance champ, pushing frames and running, like, eight apps at once while prepping for a celebration (I stan a multitasker), this is the one. It’s got that fast frame rate and thermal control, so no more overheating panic during a crucial rank-up session, I love to see it. Plus, the design is sleek and bold, so it’s a style flex as much as it is a functional one. You absolutely need to gift this with a pair of ergonomic gaming earbuds and a controller clip; don't just give them a phone, give them the full battle station, you know?
But okay, if you're looking for peak cozy, the XPAD 20 Pro is everything. Seriously, I'm obsessed. This tablet is for the creative soul, the binge watcher, the one who takes "work from home" to mean "work from my super cozy bed." Imagine mornings reading novels or evenings watching Christmas classics on that big, smooth screen. It’s perfect for splitting the screen between notes and a browser, or for sketching out your next brilliant idea with a stylus. This is where you bring the thoughtful touch: pair it with a cushioned stand or a subscription to a cool creative app, iit turns a device into a whole experience.
And finally, for the friend who’s always out and about, the social queen, the one who keeps up with all the trends, there's the HOT 60 Pro+. This phone just looks good, takes pics that are actually pleasing at those dinner meetups, and keeps pace with all the short-form content creation that fuels our lives. It’s all about style with substance, easy to match with any aesthetic, and totally reliable. The perfect add-on here is a stylish strap or a compact camera-style case, it's all about adding that touch of personality and making the phone feel like part of the outfit. Honestly, Infinix really nailed it this year. The whole point is to give a gift that slides into daily life and makes it better, and these four phones are definitely doing the most. Go check out the sale on TikTok Shop, Shopee, and Lazada before all the best deals are gone! Happy shopping, besties!

Hey Nairalanders,
Do you know that the Infinix Note 50 Pro was one of the most searched phones this year 2025? Like, legit, Google’s official data dropped, and our king, the Note 50 Pro, is sitting pretty on the list of most-searched phones in Nigeria for the ENTIRE year! No cap, this is a major flex for Infinix!
Forget all the boujee brands, those are just for clout chasing. The Note 50 Pro is the phone that people are actually searching for, comparing, and buying. It proves that Infinix understands the assignment better than anyone else. They are not just making noise, they are actually delivering that top-tier quality without making us break a sweat. Periodt.

The article made it super clear why the Note 50 Pro is charting, and it's for the power users who need a phone that can keep up with their non-stop slay.
People love the Note 50 Pro because of its massive battery capacity and also that very fast 90W fast charging. I mean your phone can charge up even before you finish making noodles. Nobody literally has time for slow charging in 2025, and Infinix understood the assignment perfectly. They even gave us a big screen that is giving main character energy. The cameras are high-res sensors and trust me, every selfie and video you take are always crystal clear.

Infinix is the Moment and they are Winning!
This search data is just the receipts we needed. It shows that Infinix is crushing it in the real world, connecting with the users who need reliable, feature-packed devices. They are the perfect brand for the young, the bold, and the tech-savvy!
The Note 50 Pro isn't just a phone, it's a statement. It’s saying, I’m smart, I know value, and I stay powered up.

For real though, which feature of the Note 50 Pro is your favorite? Mine is the fast charging

Hi Nairalanders, omo wetin I dey see this morning ehn, my heart just skip a beat!
The leaks are getting too hot to handle. If you sabi how Infinix does their thing, you know the Note series is usually that phone that just gives you premium everything without finishing your bank account. And the fact that this is the successor to the Note 50 series? Abeg, sign me up right now!
Only this morning, the news don scatter everywhere. Apparently, the Infinix Note 60, Note 60 Edge, and the baddest of them all, the Note 60 Pro, all got certified by SDPPI for Indonesia. If e don pass certification, e mean say the launch is imminent. We are practically breathing down the neck of the official announcement!

The models spotted are the Note 60 (X6879), Note 60 Edge (X6887), and Note 60 Pro (X6878).
The "Edge" is a big deal! This is low-key making me think we might see a curved display Note from Infinix. If they pull that off at a good price point, it’s a wrap for the competition. The Note 60 Pro is also NOT Playing.
But the biggest gist right now is the Note 60 Pro. That phone no come to play at all!
It was seen on Geekbench with the model number X6878 and guess what powers it? The new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset!
Gaddem! Infinix moving from MediaTek to Qualcomm for their Note Pro? That's a massive power move. We’re talking better gaming performance, better thermal management, and generally smoother everything. That single-core score of 1,243 and multi-core of 3,369 is looking very promising for a mid-range device.
Plus, it's running on Android 16 right out of the box with 8GB of RAM (and you know there will probably be a 12GB version too!). Future-proofing at its finest!
Who needs a phone that is already outdated the moment you buy it? Not us!
Then there's the Note 60 Ultra: The Ferrari of Phones.
I saw the teaser that Infinix partnered with Pininfarina, that is the guys who design Ferraris to co-design the Note 60 Ultra. Ah! They are adding that ultimate premium flex to the series. The Ultra is probably going to be unveiled later, but the fact that it’s part of the line-up shows Infinix is aiming for the high-end market with a budget-friendly twist.

The only thing that is stressing me out is that there are still no official pictures or renders yet! I want to see the design, especially for the Note 60 Edge and the Pininfarina Ultra. Infinix always comes through with the drip, so I'm expecting something that will make the Note 50 look like ancient history.
The Note 50 series was a banger, but the Note 60 series is coming to take the crown and run laps around it.

It’s official, the Note 60 series is the direct successor to the Note 50 series, and with these specs, it's going to be a huge competition for other phone brands in the mid-range market.
Who else is hype for this release? Which model are you saving money for?

Hey Nairalanders, so the Lava Agni 4 is dropping their phone anytime soon, and everyone is already buzzing about it being this big budget-segment deal.
But honestly, in my opinion, nothing can be bigger than the Infinix Note 50 5G!
We have to talk about this comparison because I know a lot of us are looking for a new phone right now, and nobody wants to get caught up in pure hype only to find out the older phone was actually the smarter buy.
Now the thing is, these two phones both come out strong in the budget 5G segment, but let's dive into the specs because the numbers don't lie, let me prove to you that Infinix is the BIG deal.
Okay, first things first, let's look at the display. The Lava Agni 4 is giving us a 6.67-inch AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate. Sounds good, right? But the Infinix Note 50 5G rocks a bigger 6.78-inch AMOLED Curved Display (so fancy!), and also a silky-smooth 144Hz Refresh Rate. I mean, who doesn't want that buttery-smooth scrolling and gaming experience? Infinix takes the visual win, hands down.
Now, let's talk about power, because who likes charging constantly? The Lava Agni 4 has a 5000mAh battery, which is decent. But our Infinix Note 50 5G? It gives us a massive 5500mAh battery! That extra 500mAh makes a real difference in daily life. Okay, yes, the Lava does have a faster charger (66W vs. 45W), but with a bigger battery on the Infinix, you won't be scrambling for an outlet as often in the first place, and that's a huge plus for staying connected all day long.
Here’s where it even gets interesting, especially for all my selfie queens and kings out there. The cameras are a bit of a mixed bag. The Lava Agni 4 is clearly going for the front-facing glory with a giant 50 MP Front Camera that can shoot 4K video. That is seriously impressive for vlogging or just taking selfies. The Infinix's 13 MP front camera is fine, but the Lava is definitely winning the selfie war. BUT, flip it around to the main rear camera, the Infinix has a bigger 64 MP Wide-angle Primary lens compared to the Lava's 50 MP one. So, if your rear shots are more important, the Infinix has that edge. Both shoot beautiful 4K video, though.
And finally, the part that makes the Infinix Note 50 5G the real champion for us budget-conscious buyers is The Price! The Lava Agni 4 is launching at a hefty ₦374,999. The Infinix Note 50 5G? It's sitting pretty at a way more accessible ₦324,999.
That is a massive price difference for a phone that, on several major fronts like screen, refresh rate, and battery size, actually outperforms the Lava. And despite the price gap, the Infinix Note 50 5G is better on many parameters. It has 5G, run on the new Android 15, and promise updates, so you’re future-proof here.
Honestly, if you want a fantastic phone with a massive curved screen, huge battery, a great main camera, and all the 5G speed, you'd be wrong to overlook the Infinix Note 50 5G just because of a new launch.
Take it from me that sometimes the best deal is the one that's already out.

HappenStone:
It's just terrible. The phone has rejected my MTN SIM more than 7 times today. I have to reboot the phone each time to get the SIM back online.

I switched the position of the SIM with my Airtel SIM to determine whether the SIM reader in that space was faulty. But that's not the case. Even after the switch, my MTN SIM still gets rejected while the Airtel remains online.

Only thing I've enjoyed in my Redmi Note 12 is the charging. It's very fast. Other than that, the phone is just meh.

Maybe they should just stop shipping this phone to Nigeria. Cus the complaints are getting too much

BrooksCarter:
I don't think Xiaomi is that bad, I know people using their products without complain. This is just a software malfunction.

Software malfunction or not, if not that we Nigerians are used to suffering, your new phone is not supposed to give you issues like this. If say na second-hand we for understand

JaneMoorer:
Xiaomi people will not see this one, and help their customer oo. If is to bash other people now, they will be number 1. Rubbish phone.

BrooksCarter:

JamesGardener:

Like ehn.. Even if there's an engineer that help him fix this issue, how are we so sure the problem won't arise again? 😑

Brushstrokes20:
You're spot on! 💯👍
Though I was attacked by some dumb and dubious marketers / fan boys here for stating my honest observations, I refused to be bullied and gave them a double dose of their poison 🤣😂😁
