Here are the five reasons why the Infinix ZERO 40 5G is a great buy, and the not-so-great ones.
Versatility is the core of the new Infinix ZERO 40 5G, able to meet user demands in whatever scenario. But is the 18K SRP sensible?
The device’s performance relies on these trio: the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of ROM, which is UFS 3.1. MOBA and FPS titles are a breeze on the Infinix ZERO 40 5G, while many AAA titles could run smoothly with the right tweaks.
To meet user demands in every scenario, the handset is equipped with a 108MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide sensor, and 2MP depth sensor at the back and a 50MP selfie shooter at the front. The rear cameras have a triple-LED flash while the selfie camera has a dual-LED flash for excellent lighting.
Whether you’re on wired or wireless connection, get an immersive audio experience with the JBL sound engine and Hi-Res audio. You can also enjoy the experience with stereo speakers.
Outdoor parties? No problem because the Infinix ZERO 40 5G has a tanky 5,000mAh battery and can charge via wired or wireless connections. The IP54 also shields the device from dust and splashes while Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protects the screen from scratches and accidental bumps and drops.
Reasons Why It’s a Great Buy
- 6.78” AMOLED panel with 144Hz refresh rate.
- 4K video recording on both front and back cameras.
- Guaranteed up to Android 16 software upgrade with 3 years of security patches.
- Support for the GoPro camera.
- Bypass charging.
Not-So-Great Reasons
- No 3.5mm headphone jack.
- Limited ingress protection.
- 1080p resolution; 1.5K would be better.
- No LTPO tech; minor downside since it’s expensive.
- No microSD card slot; minor downside with the 512GB onboard storage.
The downsides are not really impactful compared to the upsides. Even at a steep price of 18K, not many smartphones in the mid-range category can compete against the Infinix ZERO 40 5G all things considered.
But if you’re looking for alternatives, here are some:
- POCO X6 Pro 5G: MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra, 8/12GB+256/512GB memory, 120Hz AMOLED, 5000mAh, 67W charging.
- TECNO CAMON 30 Pro 5G: MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate, 12+256GB memory, 144Hz AMOLED, 5000mAh, 70W charging.
- Infinix GT 20 Pro: MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate, 12+256GB memory, 144Hz AMOLED, 5000mAh, 45W charging.
