It looks like CloudFone’s Next Infinity series is about to become more interesting. Whether you’d see it as a positive kind of interesting or not depends on how you feel about the notch.
You see, the Philippine company just teased an Apple iPhone X lookalike on its Facebook page with the caption, “The next CloudFone?”
CloudFone teases Apple iPhone X lookalike
There’s little doubt then that the device in the video is going to be part of CloudFone’s lineup of nearly borderless smartphones. The series already includes the following:
- CloudFone Next Infinity Quattro – Price: P12,999 or around $250
- CloudFone Next Infinity Pro – Price: P9,999 or $192
- CloudFone Next Infinity Plus – Price: P8,999 or $173
- CloudFone Next Infinity – Price: P6,999 or $135

Where will the company’s iPhone clone figure in the Next Infinity line? Will it be the most premium smartphone? That will be a tough sell — especially if the price will be higher than the Quattro’s — considering that a five-figure locally branded device usually doesn’t do well on the market. It will have a lot of competition from international brands.
If it’s in the bargain-basement category, it will join iPhone X-like Android devices that have started to swarm online stores like Lazada. The cheapest example we can find is the Vinovo K1, which sells for just P2,999 or roughly $58.

But we doubt it. We think the teased smartphone’s price tag is going to hover around the P10,000 ($192) mark. After all, the Next Infinity devices have relatively good specs.
Google’s Android P — code-named Pistachio Ice Cream — will reportedly embrace the iPhone’s notch in order to woo iOS users. So this will only be the start of Android handsets adopting the controversial look.
