Guests also got to test out some of the brand’s newest phones at the Experience Booth, like the Infinix HOT 50 Pro+, the world’s slimmest gaming phone with four new colorways: Aurora Green, Blossom Pink, Rising Red, and Dreamy Purple. Popular Filipino singer Arthur Miguel also serenaded the crowd with his soothing voice.

This award serves as a heartfelt appreciation for their dedication to fostering collaboration and strengthening community engagement within the gaming industry. The brand also gave prizes for OOTD of the Night, as well as raffle prizes to lucky fans.


Capping off the celebration was a gorgeous fireworks display, symbolizing a bright and colorful year ahead for Infinix, XFans, and every person who was instrumental in the brand’s success this year. Attendees took home tote bags that they customized themselves during the party to show off their style and love for gaming.


As Infinix Philippines looks forward to the new year, Infinix Community Manager Willy Lloyd Cruz expressed excitement for more meaningful campaigns and collaborations to continue bringing the brand’s vision to life. “We are deeply grateful for the support you have given us this 2024.
