In a press event in New Delhi today, InFocus announced the launch of their new budget smartphone in India, the Turbo 5. The smartphone business of InFocus, the American OEM – as they repeatedly assert, took shape a couple of years ago in a strategic partnership with Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn).

The highlight of the smartphone of course is its big 5,000 mAh battery. The company claims that the phone offers up to 23 hours of talk time and a standby time of 816 hours. The smartphone comes in two memory variants that vary in terms of RAM and internal storage.

Going ahead, we will continue to expand our product portfolio and introduce innovative and disruptive 4G smartphones for the Indian consumers. For this FY InFocus plans to introduce 16 new products, aiming to reach 6 Million volume by the end of the year.
– Dr. Luo Zhongsheng, Global CEO for Sharp & InFocus Mobile
