Before the coming of Android and iPhone Sagem and other brands ruled the telecommunication world and had a great share of the world telecommunication market.  But the birth of Symbian (Nokia) powered smartphones by Nokia took Sagem out. There are rumors that Sagem has emerged to be “Infinix” we don’t know how true this claims are but the Telecommunication business is full of conspiracies and re-branding one shouldn’t be surprised to hear strange news.
