Infinix, a smartphone brand owned by Transsion Holdings, has launched its dual camera flagship smartphone at an event held in Dubai. A few months ago, Infinix launched its two budget smartphones in India named Note 4 and Hot 4 Pro, now the company adds one more smartphone to its portfolio, Zero5.
Speaking about the Infinix Zero5, it features a 5.98-inch Full HD JDI display wrapped in a metal unibody. The key highlight of the phone is the dual-camera setup. The rear side equips a 12 MP + 13 MP cameras with the ability to take DSLR-like shots.
The 12 MP camera has a wide angle lens (1.25 um) with f/2.0 aperture using the Sony IMX386 sensor while the second camera which is of 13 MP has a Telephoto lens (1.0 um) with f/2.6 aperture using the Samsung S5K3M3 camera sensor. The camera supports 2X optical zoom and 10X digital zoom, and an LED flash.
The front camera, on the other hand, is a 16 MP f/2.0 selfie camera with 4-in-1 pixel technology. It uses a Samsung S5K3P8 camera sensor, LED Flash, and offers 9 grades beauty mode as well as bokeh mode for stunning selfies.
Infinix Zero5 runs on the latest XOS 3.0 based on Android Nougat. Under the hood, it is running an octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 clocked at a whopping 2.6 GHz. Paired with a large 6 GB LPDDR4X RAM and Mali-T880 MP2 GPU clocked at 900 MHz. The specifications are above the midrange level so the performance of the phone should be fast enough in the midrange segment.
On the storage side, there are two variants, the Zero5, priced of ₹17,999, has 64 GB internal storage while the Zero5 Pro comes with a huge 128 GB internal storage priced at ₹19,999. This might be the first smartphone in India to offer a huge 128 GB storage at such price.
The standalone microSD support extends the storage beyond the 128 GB, so there’s no need to worry about losing the dual 4G SIM functionality. Furthermore, the 4,350 mAh battery should keep the phone running for days and there’s XCharge fast charging support with the 18W adaptor.
