Infinix has been ramping up tech on its smartphone series in recent years – ranging from its entry-level hot series, midrange Note series and the premium flagship Zero series with a focus on photography and ultra-fast charging.
We’ve also seen design refinements and perfection across their devices and Infinix is adding a new arsenal in the audio segment. The company is partnering up with JBL to tune its speakers for its upcoming Note lineup – presumably, the Note 13 series launching later in May this year.
A prototype is visible at JBL’s exhibit at the ongoing CES 2023 in Las Vegas and has a glossy top half and a circle camera island with three lenses and a LED flash below.
This would be a really good thing as some of Infinix’s rivals already sport JBL-tuned speakers. This new addition would make the Note series more attractive seeing that the Note 12 series went all out design-wise and everything else.
