FULL STORY ======================================================================

When it comes to high-end flagship smartphones , Infinix isnt really a common name. But it looks like the brand wants to change that with a premium
offering of its own in the form of the Now series.

Infinix has primarily been a budget smartphone maker, with trade concentrated in markets such as India, Middle East and Africa. It has often tried to bring fancy features to lower price points, but now, it might finally be ready to play with the big boys.

XDA Developers got its hands on a few images and specifications of an upcoming Infinix device which seems like the companys first flagship. It
looks quite different from anything else from the brand with a silver chrome finish with a humongous Now branding on the back it is so big that it doesnt even fit in the phones frame on all sides. (Image credit: Infinix (via XDA Developers))

We can also see that it has a triple-camera arrangement on the back with a large primary sensor, a secondary camera that will likely be an ultra-wide lens and a periscopic camera for telephoto zoom. No information on the camera specifications of the phone was mentioned.

Further, the image of the Infinix phone suggests that it will have an AMOLED display with sharp curves on the side and a big in-display fingerprint scanner. Theres also a punch-hole selfie camera on the top left corner of the screen. We would expect a high-end smartphone to boast a high refresh rate as well.

The most interesting bit of this leak is the fact that the device is said to come with 160W fast charging, which would make it faster than almost all smartphones available today. For instance, the maximum wattage seen on mainstream phones these days is around the 65W mark , which takes about 30-40 minutes for a refuel. Its unclear how Infinix plans on achieving this or how safe it will be for the batterys health.

Theres no word on pricing or availability yet , but looking at the spec
sheet, we doubt it will be anywhere as affordable as other offerings from Infinix. Best phones in India for 2021 Upcoming smartphones in India for 2021
