Dubbed Infinix X1-series Smart TVs, the brand seeks to provide consumers with an elegant, intelligent, and crystal clear viewing experience. Though Infinix’s mother company “Transsion Holdings” runs Synix as its LED TVs arm, Infinix TVs will come with new branding and feature in-sight.

Apparently, X1 Series TVs will come with full Infinix branding denoting the brand’s official launch in the home entertainment lane. So, the company won’t be borrowing a Synix quality and production streak, but will ship new LED modes as the front-liner for all TVs once launched.

At the moment, Infinix has not shared any detailed information on the TV Series Panel quality, HDR support, supported resolutions, Android version, and retail pricing.

Expected to launch in September alongside the Infinix Zero 8, the inaugural Infinix X1 TVs will launch in two sizes; 43Inch and 32Inch versions with a rumored S-series also in the pipeline.

By the current Smart TVs pricing structure which has continued to meet new bears with the emergence of budget-centric brands like Hisense, Skyworth, Changhong among others. Nonetheless, here is a breakdown of what has been revealed so far:

In the smartphone industry, popular midrange brands like TECNO Mobile, Infinix, Oppo, Vivo, and Itel are set to launch fewer devices in 2020 with almost no release currently rumored in the first quarter.

On the other hand, high-end manufacturers like Huawei __that registered 2019 as its worst year are trying to cope up with the trend by creating regional assembly plants to launch Smartphones in those particular regions.

In Uganda, the fate of no mid-range releases in the first quarter has spiked an increase in market prices with no signs of when new lows will be met. However, the rumor mill has it that attempts are being made to launch new devices amidst the Corona Virus threats.

What you should do in preparation for the low-releases count

Since Chinese manufacturers rule the mid-range and partially the high-end Smartphones’ market. The Corona Virus statistics around the world will greatly impact on how Chinese exports can be accepted in Africa, and other regions across the world.

This means, if the outbreak continues to visit new countries, then you should prepare for the change. In this case, if you’re an upgrade junkie, It’s time you stick to your current Smartphone for the next few months.

In case you had plans to purchase a 2019 release like Infinix’s Hot 8 or TECNO’s Camon 12, then the best time to place your order is now before retail prices continue to rise.

All in all, Chinese assembled/manufactured smartphones are set to meet scarcity levels the more Corona Virus continues to spread. Hence, the next time you visit a Smartphone store and can’t find your favorite brand or meet an increase in the prices, then, buying a used device on a platform like Jiji could become your next choice.
