Im Lawrence from Lusaka, Zambia. I like the infinix phone…. Currently I’m using infinix Note4. With the launching of Note 5 I would like to upgrade to it. Can you allow me to exchange?
The phone is nice
Instead of exchanging, why not gift your loved one the note 4 then buy yourself a new note 5?
I have the Note 4 pro and I wish to upgrade or swap my note 4 pro to the note 5
Is it possible?
Stay on ur lane…. Note 4 PRO is more better
Note 5 is all abt new software
are you talking because you have the note 4 or because you’ve seen the specs. The note 5 is better, clearly…. and it’s anticipated to be cheaper. Well, no one knows if that would be market strategy yet…lol
Hopefully, Infinix Note 5 will be launched in Pakistan at the same day as well. Best wishes !!!
Been waiting for this for so long, buy i will have to wait for the pro. Because I like the xpen
