The report also noted that One of Africa’s leading smartphone makers, Infinix Mobility has had quite a stellar year churning out impeccable devices such as the Hot S3X, “Beyond Intelligent” Note 5, “Intelligent creator” Note 5 stylus amongst others and this has reflected on the brand’s retail market share raising up to 8.5% higher than that of Samsung which stands at 7.6%, a trend which is commendable for the brand.

This growth in retail market share within Nigeria for Infinix Mobility can be attributed to the brand’s extensive understanding of the terrain it operates in.
