“In today’s fast-paced world, where every second counts, consumers demand technology that keeps up with their lifestyle. The Infinix Note 40 offers an unparalleled combination of performance, style, and affordability,” he added.

The event was graced by the State Minister of Finance for Investment and Privatization Evelyne Anite who thanked Infinix for their continuous innovation in technology and their efforts to make sure Ugandans get quality smartphones at affordable rates.

The minister further lauded the phone manufacturers for the efforts they are making toward constructing a mobile phone assembling plant in Uganda saying this will save the a lot of taxes and also create many jobs for Ugandans.

“I want to thank you very much for purchasing your land where you are going to set up your factory. People are always saying that government gives out free land to investors but you are different, you bought your own land,” said Anite.

“I want to encourage you to expedite your processes and start assembling phones in Uganda so that you can stop suffering with too much tax on imported phones.”

Anite who officially launched the phone promised Infinix investor that they would enjoy zero tax on phone parts being imported to the country giving them an advantage over those who import already finished devices because their 10% tax will stay and could even be increased.
