Wolf.17 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Infinix should stop using the Zero moniker for their phones because, honestly, their phones are not what they used to be. The new Infinix Zero 40 5G is not a zero. The phone, at a starting price of Rs. 27,999, offers a lot of features. Infinix also claims that the Zero 40 5G is the first phone in its segment to offer 4K 60fps video recording on both front and rear cameras and to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide rear camera. It's also the first Infinix phone to launch with Infinix AI. The company heavily emphasises the phone's video recording features, stabilisation, and its potential as an ideal device for vlogging—I've never heard the word "vlog" mentioned so many times in a product briefing. So, is the Infinix Zero 40 5G any good? Do all of these segment-firsts make it a hero? You'll have to read the full review to find out. Infinix Zero 40 Design: Stylish Dimensions - 164.31x74.47x7.9mm Weight - 195g Colours - Moving Titanium, Violet Garden, Rock Black Infinix has done a very good job in terms of design. The phone features curved sides and flat top and bottom edges, making it comfortable to hold and easy to use one-handed. The phone is available in three colour options, and we got the Violet Garden variant. The rear panel has a two-tone finish and the word ‘Zero' etched at the bottom right corner. It's a nice phone to look at, especially in the Violet colour option. The back is dominated by a large circular camera module, accented with a focus ring-like design. The curved edges make the phone feel slimmer than it really is. The left side is clean, while the power and volume buttons are placed on the right. At the bottom, you'll find the USB Type-C port, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a SIM card tray. The top houses an IR blaster, another microphone, and a speaker grille. Infinix has also provided an IP54 rating for added protection, which is a nice touch.

The panel is of the LTPS variety, which means that although it offers a 144Hz refresh rate, it cannot go all the way down to 1Hz. You can, however, choose between auto, 60, 120, and 144Hz. The display also offers a 360Hz touch sampling rate and 2,304Hz PWM frequency. In terms of colour, you get a 10-bit panel with 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage. There are also two colour modes available on the phone – Original and Bright-coloured. I'd recommend sticking to the former. You also get TUV Rheinland Eye Care certification and an Eye care mode. As for brightness, the phone gets plenty bright indoors (1,300 nits peak), but it can be a bit dull under direct sunlight.

It's big, colourful, bright (indoors), and offers a super fast refresh rate. There's also Widevine L1 certification so that you can use all your streaming services. Infinix has included an in-display fingerprint scanner on the phone. Despite being placed lower down on the screen, it worked accurately and was fast. Infinix Zero 40 Software: AI this and AI that OS - Android 14 UI - XOS 14.5 Latest security patch - August 5, 2024 The phone runs Android 14-based XOS 14.5 out of the box. As expected, it includes a fair amount of pre-installed apps, but fortunately, most can be uninstalled. The user interface is fairly clean, with smooth animations. Infinix GT 20 Pro Review Infinix has also included an edge control feature that lets you take advantage of the curved screen and quickly access your favourite apps. There's an IR Control option in the Quick setting and within the Welife app to control other devices using its infrared blaster. The phone boasts a "Works with GoPro" certification, but all it means is that you can control a GoPro action camera using the GoPro Quik app—a feature that virtually any smartphone is capable of. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/reviews/infinix-zero-40-5g-review-6879620#pfrom=desktop-lhs-trending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
