Infinix XPad: Full details on Infinix’s first tablet – Features, Specifications, and Release

Infinix is entering the tablet market with the launch of its first tablet, the Infinix XPad. Positioned to compete with offerings from Xiaomi, Lenovo, and Oppo, the XPad is set to make a significant impact. This article will explore the device’s features, specifications, and release details.

The tablet market has become increasingly competitive, with major players like Apple and Samsung recently unveiling high-end models. Despite this, the Infinix XPad aims to stand out by offering competitive features at a more accessible price point.

When was the Infinix XPad released?

Unveiled in August 2024, the XPad is expected to hit authorized stores worldwide by the end of the month, with pre-orders already available.

Price of the Infinix XPad

As Infinix’s debut in the tablet space, its pricing remains speculative. However, industry insiders estimate it may be priced around $178, approximately GH¢2,770, targeting the mid-range segment.

Features of the new Infinix tablet

One of the standout features of the Infinix XPad is the Folax Assistant, powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Infinix has entered the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence (AI), joining the ranks of tech companies integrating AI into their products. Folax Assistant functions similarly to other AI assistants; simply saying “Hi Folax” near your XPad will activate it, allowing for seamless, natural conversations and answers to your questions.

This AI functionality is becoming increasingly common in smartphones and tablets, with tech giants like Google, Apple, and Samsung having introduced their own advanced versions over the past year.

In addition to AI integration, XPad users can enjoy the XArena Game Space, which offers a personalized gaming experience with three distinct modes: Power-Saving, Equilibrium, and Performance.

The Infinix XPad also enhances productivity through cross-device collaboration, making it easy to stream music or transfer data across Infinix tablets, laptops, and smartphones for a more convenient and connected experience.
