Highlights from the Infinix Xmas Festival Extravaganza

The Infinix Xmas Festival last December touched many people’s lives in various ways. The month-long promotional event was the top smartphone brand’s way of thanking its fans for their unwavering support. It brought together fun-loving Infinix fans who are on the hunt for the latest smartphones.

 

More than anything, Infinix Holiday SparX was about letting Filipinos feel the Christmas spirit, be it through exciting Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) games or special gifts.

 

The gift of giving

Infinix offered special discounts and promos on select smartphones during the Infinix Xmas Festival. Many people were able to cop the newest models as a treat to themselves or a gift to their loved ones. There was also a Lucky Draw raffle, where lucky winners took home prizes like the Infinix ZERO 30 (4G), Infinix ZERO Ultra, Ultra Smart Watch, and P10,000 worth of MLBB diamonds.

Lucky Draw winner Nina Torrejos from Cebu said she’s thankful to Infinix for giving her an Infinix ZERO Ultra during a tumultuous time in her life. “Our house burned down recently, so winning an Infinix ZERO Ultra feels like a blessing for me and my family,” she said.

 

Select TikTok affiliates were also able to take home Smart Watches after joining Infinix’s Go X-tra Affiliate program. JoshinTek (@nickoitek) said he felt motivated to spread the good news about Infinix’s affordability during the Holiday SparX event. “Nakita ko ang good quality ni Infinix kaya I was eager to sell it and share the good news to other people that this phone brand can suit their budget,” he said.

 

“Maraming salamat Infinix for having this promo. It truly helped me not just gain and engage more with my followers, it helped me have a wonderful holiday season. I hope you will have this more very soon,” said @techmno.

 

Partying with XFans

Infinix gathered fans, gamers, and smartphone enthusiasts to the three-day Holiday SparX event at the Market! Market! Activity Center. The event featured selling booths with discounted smartphones, experiential zones, and even a live MLBB-friendly match. 

 

The match featured two MLBB teams, Team Pampamilya and Team Pride of Echo, and Infinix ambassadors Cherizawa and Yskaela. It was a fun and intense match-up that showcased their skills while using Infinix phones. Ultimately, Team Pampamilya with Cherizawa came out victorious against Team Pride of Echo with Yskaela. “My favorite experience sa MLBB match game is yung makaakyat kami sa stage for the showmatch! Thankful ako sa brand dahil sa opportunity na ibinigay to us,” said Mima of Team Pride of Echo. 

 

Infinix has been the official sponsor of the MLBB Professional League (MPL), where the brand promoted the local gaming and esports scene. Team Pampamilya was also the champion during the Guard Your Goddess Miya tournament, where they also utilized Infinix phones to play their best. “Ang go-to Infinix phone namin ay yung NOTE 30 5G dahil ito yung napanalunan namin sa Guard Your Goddess Miya tournament. Napaka-smooth ng games like Mobile Legends sa Infinix NOTE 30 5G. Nakakagaan sa paglalaro, at the same time, swak sa budget,” said Team Pampamilya.

Infinix Holiday SparX also offered experience booths where fans can check out smartphones up close, including the new Infinix ZERO 30 (4G), and make memories. There was an AR photo booth to capture wonderful moments with their family and barkadas, and an area to play casual games using Infinix phones.
