The phone is available in all Infinix shops & stores, dealers stores at a RRP of UGX782,000 and comes available in grey, blue and green color variants. Our review team got a blue handset for hands-on and an intensive review.

Inside the box, similar packaging to it predecessors, the phone appears on top. Its accessories including a data & charging chord, standard 3.5mm earphones, and a charging brick appear at the bottom. Including in the package are; screen guard, and a rubber phone casing.

The packaging is great. It is highly recommended to note the phone with a broken seal as it may be a counterfeit. If the seal is not broken in your presence at the time of purchase, it is recommended not to accept the phone.
