Availability and Pricing
While the XPAD has been officially unveiled, Infinix has not yet announced pricing or global availability. However, its appearance in the SIRIM database suggests an imminent launch in Malaysia.
Analysis
Infinix's entry into the tablet space with the XPAD appears to target the budget-conscious consumer. The inclusion of a 90Hz display and AI assistant at what's likely to be an affordable price point could make it an attractive option. However, the choice of the Helio G99 processor may limit its appeal to power users.
The tablet's design, with uniform bezels and a metal body, seems to draw inspiration from more premium devices like the iPad Pro. This could give the XPAD a competitive edge in the entry-level tablet segment.
As Infinix expands its product lineup, the success of the XPAD could determine the company's future in the tablet market. Pricing will be crucial in determining its competitiveness against established budget tablet offerings from other brands.
