The InFocus Turbo 5 was recently launched in the sub-Rs. 10,000 smartphone segment[1], which has lately seen a lot of new models. Companies are fighting it out, trying to offer more for less, and Indian consumers are spoiled for choice. InFocus, the US-based company, made its debut in India[2] almost two years ago and has mostly focused on the budget segment. Its latest smartphone is yet another low-cost device. At a starting price of Rs. 6,999, the new InFocus Turbo 5[3] will be competing against some very popular options like the Xiaomi Redmi 4[4], among others[5].
