The Infinix Zero is one of the finest mid-range Smartphones in the market right now.
The Infinix Zero was previously a market specific product that was exclusive to the Nigerian market. The Smartphone is, however, now available for purchase in the Kenyan market.
Here is what the Infinix Zero has to offer.
Infinix Zero Technical Specifications
Display
Display Size: 5.0 Inches
Display Type: IPS capacitive
Screen Resolution: 1280 x 720 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 293 ppi
Screen Protection: Corning Gorilla Glass 3
A 5.0 Inches IPS display sounds right for a mid-range handset. The display technical profile of the Infinix Zero closely resembles that of the Tecno Phantom Z Mini.
The highlighted feature of the Infinix Zero display is clearly its Corning Gorilla Glass 3 layer. Scratch resistant glass is in most instances missing on mid-tier smartphones.
Design
Frame Dimensions: 140 x 70 x 7.9 mm
One of the striking aspect about the Infinix Zero is its design. It features an awesome design concept that gives the smartphone a premium look and feel. In addition to this, the Infinix Zero is available in Black, White, and most importantly has a Gold variant.
Performance
Operating System: Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS
CPU: 1.4 GHz Octa-core Mediatek
RAM: 1 GB
Internal Memory: 8 GB
Micro SD: Yes, up to 32 GB
The Infinix Zero has one of the best performance specs you will find on a mid-range device. A Quad-core CPU is more of the standard for most devices in its price group. Therefore, an Octa-core CPU kinda put the Infinix Zero a level above its rivals.
The Inifinix Zero in fact performed exceptionally in an Antutu Benchmark Test and ranked higher than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy S3.
Camera
Rear Camera: 13 MP
Secondary Camera: 2 MP
LED Flash: Yes
The 13 MP Rear Camera is okay for a mid-tier device, but it is rather disappointing that the Infinix Zero sports a just a 2 MP selfie snapper. 5 MP is now pretty much the standard for selfie cameras with some vendors going further to include an LED flash for the secondary camera.
Battery and Extras
Battery Capacity: 1920 mAh
A 1920 mAh battery powering a massive eight core CPU doesn’t look right. However, the eight cores operate independently and only combine when running resource intensive apps. The smartphone otherwise uses single cores to run lighter tasks.
This ensures that the battery performance is stretched to the maximum.
Extras
Dual SIM
Tech Trends Diary Verdict
The Inifnix Zero is definitely worth the hype. Soon after its launch in Nigeria a couple of months ago, Kenyans were already showing some massive interest in the device.
The infinix zero is definitely the product that seeks to abate Tecno Mobile’s dominance in emerging markets such as Kenya and Nigeria.
The price of the Infinix Zero may be above what most will be willing to spend on a smartphone, but the smartphone is still a perfect tool for generating awareness about the Infinix brand.
