Two mid-range powerhouses clashed! Discover the better choice – the one that matches you perfectly.
Stuck in the middle of Infinix ZERO 40 5G and POCO X6 Pro 5G? We get that because of their close pricing. So, we listed down the differences between these two in seven categories to help you find the better choice for your lifestyle.
Disclaimer: This comparison article only uses the specifications and features provided by the manufacturers. Actual experience varies from person to person and user behavior.
1. Display
Both the Infinix ZERO 40 5G and POCO X6 Pro 5G have AMOLED panels that guarantee exceptional blacks and excellent color accuracy.
However, the POCO X6 Pro 5G takes the lead with 1.5K resolution, letting you watch your favorite online content at crispier visuals. Infinix ZERO 40 5G turns the table with its larger 6.78-inch screen and 144Hz refresh rate, playing a big role in high-action gaming.
If those specs don’t matter, then the better choice is up to the design. The Infinix ZERO 40 5G is sexier with a curved display, while the POCO X6 Pro 5G goes for the traditional flat panel.
2. Camera
Neither of these smartphones have true flagship camera sensors, capable of beating top-tier models in the market. But they are good enough for creating content, even 4K videos.
Between Infinix ZERO 40 5G and POCO X6 Pro 5G, which one has the better camera setup? See the quick specs below.
| Camera Specs | Infinix ZERO 40 5G | POCO X6 Pro 5G |
| Rear Cameras | 108MP (wide), f/1.8, OIS | 64MP (wide), f/1.7 |
| 50MP (ultrawide), f/2.0, 120˚ | 8 MP (ultrawide), f/2.2, 120˚ | |
| 2MP (depth), f/2.4 | 2 MP (macro), f/2.4 | |
| Selfie Camera | 50 MP, f/2.5 | 16 MP, f/2.4 |
| LED Flash | Triple (rear), dual (front) | Single (rear) |
| Video | Up to 4K at 60FPS | Up to 4K at 30FPS |
Overall, the Infinix ZERO 40 5G sports better camera specs than the POCO X6 Pro 5G, especially those handy LED flashes on the front and back. Plus, the former can record 4K at 60FPS. If stabilization is a concern, you can use a device to hold the phone in place.
3. Performance
These two smartphones are powered by chipsets from the same brand: MediaTek. But the POCO X6 Pro 5G is the better choice with Dimensity 8300 Ultra if you’re looking for raw performance. A recently submitted AnTuTu score showed a shocking over 1.5 million points!
The Infinix ZERO 40 5G isn’t weak with Dimensity 8200 Ultimate but it’s overshadowed by the other CPU. This chipset managed to score 908,368 AnTuTu points on this device. On a different device, it scored a lot closer to 1 million.
For plain performance, the better choice is the POCO X6 Pro 5G. If you choose the Infinix ZERO 40 5G, it’s not a big deal because it has a higher refresh rate and bigger screen.
4. Memory
An 8GB RAM is adequate for Android OS, but we’re slowly transitioning to the 12GB minimum as more apps and games demand higher memory. Both the Infinix ZERO 40 5G and the POCO X6 Pro 5G have a 12GB RAM + 512GB ROM option, except the latter can be bought with a 8+256GB option.
Here’s another difference: the ROM type. The POCO X6 Pro 5G features the superior UFS 4.0 over Infinix ZERO 40 5G’s UFS 3.1. UFS 4.0 is twice faster and 46% more power efficient than UFS 3.1, and if paired with a powerful processor, apps and games will load better.
The POCO X6 Pro 5G is the better choice here if budget isn’t a problem. Go for the Infinix ZERO 40 5G for its more affordable build.
| Storage Choice | Infinix ZERO 40 5G SRP | POCO X6 Pro 5G SRP |
| 8+256GB model | N/A | PHP 16,999 |
| 12+512GB model | PHP 17,999 | PHP 19,999 |
5. Battery
These two smartphones have a 5,000mAh battery capacity and fast charging support. The POCO X6 Pro 5G eclipses the Infinix ZERO 40 5G in charging speed with 67W versus 45W.
But the Infinix ZERO 40 5G can slam the POCO X6 Pro 5G hard in non-stop entertainment, thanks to bypass charging. This is pretty significant for extended gaming and binge watching.
So, if you’re the type, the Infinix ZERO 40 5G is the better choice. Plus, it has wireless charging of 20W.
6. Durability
Neither is very durable. They have the same protection: Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and IP54 dust and water resistance.
There’s one thing worth mentioning here, however. The POCO X6 Pro 5G has a faux leather model and the Infinix ZERO 40 5G does not. While the material may be more resistant to water than real leather, it’s not an excellent breather for extreme heat.
Thinking of buying a mobile phone radiator? It will only cool the leather then drench it with moisture. A plastic back is much better at expelling heat than faux leather.
7. Upgrade
For their price, you should expect longevity on the software side. Fortunately, both are expected to have more than one year of software support period.
The POCO X6 Pro 5G is getting up to Android 17 OS and four years of security updates, as per Redditor. The Infinix ZERO 40 5G is set to receive up to Android 16 and three years of security updates, as per brand.

| Display | Higher FPS: 144Hz | Higher resolution: 1.5K |
| Camera | 108MP + 4K at 60FPS | 64MP + 4K at 30FPS |
