Till this moment many folks out there don’t know that Infinix have produced their first and only android device with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

And yes Infinix Hot 3 LTE variant is the first and only Infinix device that came with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and not MTK as it used to be.

But the reason behind the lack of awareness of the Infinix Hot 3 LTE device with Qualcomm chipset is because Infinix had the first variant of the Infinix Hot 3 X554 that is without swag dumped here in Nigeria and kept the Hot 3 LTE with juicier specs in Indonesia.

Later on, Infinix went ahead to boycott Nigeria and took the first and only Infinix device with Qualcomm chipset to the shores of Kenya and as we speak the device is currently selling in Kenya for about Ksh11,699 which is equivalent to about N36,000.

Now, have you ever wondered why Infinix boycotted the Nigeria market that is supposedly going to be a larger market for higher sales of the product but went ahead to take it far away to the Eastern African country of Kenya?

We cannot really figure out the rationale behind such move but it also reminded us of the latest PayPal move that also boycotted Nigeria and went ahead to open full PayPal fund reception to Zimbabweans.

PayPal inward funds restrictions to Nigeria is a CBN regulations thing and not PayPal

did PayPal also stop infinix from bringing snapdragon phones to Nigeria?

lofty900:

help me ask her

Due to the fore wahala in Naija, the cost to end user of the product would be too expensive in Nigeria hence the reason

lofty900:

PayPal boycott Nigeria because we used it to scam Americans on eBay. Then infinix boycott Nigeria because they think of Nigerians as a fraudulent country who doesn't deserve snapdragon chipset etc.

but we ain't complaining

Well there was an uproar when Tecno broke the price rank of Chinese phones. Infinix not wanting to get caught up I guess.

Anyone info where I can get the X-Band? How much?

How many LTE network providers are in Nigeria? Let's compare to that of Kenya first before asking the rationale behind their marketing strategy

lofty900:
check Konga, 22k I think

22k? No na. I'm sure it's less than that.

BenKafor:

22k? No na. I'm sure it's less than that.

how much is it

lofty900:
how much is it

The Infinix X band price is exactly as stated above, it is 22k

Because of fear of the presence of Boko Haram in Nigeria

They have also succeeded in dumping their profit in the lagoon of Kenya. Bad marketing moves. How big is Kenya? Ediotic company

I think it is because Tecno sells more than Infinix in Nigeria and they(i.e Infinix )want to retaliate by doing what they think will hurt the feelings of Nigerians. This behaviour to me looks like infinix just kicked its own ass because Nigeria has more market than Kenya.
