Look and feel
So many good phones are launching for Rs 20-25K! And there’s another amazing phone, the Infinix Zero 30! If you look at its hardware, software & features, when I heard it for the 1st time, I was shocked! And everything at Rs 21,999! Oh my God! Watch this video till the end & you’ll know why I’m talking like this. You know that Infinix phones are less in software & hardware, but this one has everything! as soon as you take it in your hand, it feels premium! The box packaging also looks premium, so that’s nice! There’s a lot of stuff in the box. Generally, Infinix phones have a lot of stuff in the box. There’s nothing different in the Infinix Zero 30 box. There’s a lot of stuff. This is the case, you can look at the camera module, it’s big. Then you have documentation, a sim card tool.
Build Quality
It’s a curved screen phone, so it’s kind of soft. There’s also a scratch guard. There’s a 68W charger with a big brick. And then you have USB Type A to Type C charging cable. Let’s keep all these things aside & look at the Infinix Zero 30 phone. It’s so thin! So many thin phones have been launched in the last few days. t comes in 2 colours, this green one is vegan leather. And there’s another colour, Golden R, which is with a glass back. This is vegan leather. t looks premium. It’s a big phone & it looks very different. he in-hand feel is also very good. It looks slightly slippery, but it’s very nice. The weight balance is very good. It’s a big phone, but in terms of weight, I’d say it’s around 180g. it’s one of the slimmest phones. Even though it has a 5000mAh battery, it’s around 7.9mm thin. So again, it’s excellent with that 3D curved glass. Ports & Buttons There’s a sim card tray at the bottom, a microphone, a USB Type C port, a speaker grill. There’s a power on off on the right & a volume rocker at the top. There’s a speaker grill at the top & a noise cancelling microphone on the left. So yes, there are stereo speakers. If I talk about the sim card tray, I think it’ll not have a dedicated one. Because the base variant comes with 256GB. So there’s a dual nano sim card slot & there’s no SD card slot. It also comes with Gorilla Glass 5 protection. There’s Wagan leather at the back, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Display
It has a 6.78” 3D curved display. It’s an AMOLED display with 144Hz fast refresh rate & 950Nits brightness. And look at the bezels, they’re non-existent. There are bezels on the sides as it’s 3D curved. But if you look at the bottom & top, it doesn’t look like a mid range phone. If you look at it from the front, it looks like a Rs 30-40,000 phone. That’s why I said at the start of this video that it’s probably the best time to buy a smartphone. Because prices are really coming down & spec wise, they’re very rich. As I said, the display is amazing
Performance
If I talk about specifications, it comes with Dimensity 8020 SoC. It’s a 6Nm based processor with an AnTuTu score of 7.10L. Which is very respectable in this price range. It comes with 2 variants, 8GB RAM & 256GB storage. And the variant above it is 12GB RAM & 256GB storage. It’s an LPDDR4X RAM type, but it’s a UFS 3.1 storage type. So the read & write speeds are good. It feels very snappy, that’s for sure. And if you take the 12GB variant, it comes with 9GB virtual RAM. So it’s 21GB of RAM! if I talk about performance, wow! You can play heavy games on the highest settings like COD Mobile. You can play PUBG on 90FPS & COD Mobile BGMI on 60FPS. And yes, it has HDR. So wow! Even the OS is good. It has its own 3rd party apps like Infinix, but it doesn’t have 3rd party bloatware. That’s very surprising! And you get Android 14 & 2 years of security updates, so 1 plus 2. And it has some interesting features. It doesn’t have a Google dialer, so you have to do one touch call recording. So many people ask us in the comments. It has a peak proof display, so there’s no peaking allowed. So that’s there, there’s a kids mode. So some interesting features are also there. Multimedia- The display is good, video viewing experience is excellent. It has stereo speakers & supports Hi-Res audio. The quality is good, but the loudness is there. So the multimedia experience overall is very good. The display is HDR, you can watch HDR videos on YouTube. But there’s no HDR support on Netflix. There’s Widevine L1, so you can do HD streaming. Overall, this is a great phone for multimedia. There are 2-3 more things I want to talk about the display. It has 2160Hz PWM dimming. So that’s there. And yes, it has a 10bit display.
Camera
Camera- Again, it’s an Infinix phone with a mid-range price of Rs 20-22K. So according to that, I was looking at its camera & it surpassed my expectations. Again, I’m saying this in many videos. Seriously, because our expectations were low for the past few months. But now again, we’re getting some good phones. Its camera is very good. Primary sensor is Samsung’s HM6 108MP sensor with OIS support. It’s a 13MP ultrawide camera with 2MP depth sensor. So it’s a triple camera setup. In selfies, you get Samsung’s JN1 sensor which is a 50MP autofocus sensor. And seriously, it’s not just numbers for the name. Look at the photos, there are many portraits, landscapes in the original quality. Do check it out. I’m telling you, I was actually impressed with the camera. The colour tones, skin tones, colours & sharpness are very good. Again, it’s much better than what I was expecting. And definitely, it’s much better. And because of OIS, low light photos are also good. But not just that, in videography, no one in this segment says that you can shoot front & back 4K 60FPS videos. I mean, what do you want? Like I said at the start of this video, this phone has got literally everything. And because it’s 108MP, you get 3x lossless zoom. So essentially, it crops the photo by zooming. But yes, you can have 3x zoom as well. Interestingly, even the 13MP ultrawide camera also gives you 4K 30FPS. So you can shoot ultrawide videos at 4K. And in terms of features, there are standard features like time lapse, slow motion, 240FPS slow motion mode, Pro mode, portrait mode, filters etc. So all those things are there. So there are many questions, especially those who do a lot of vlogging & use a front camera. In this price range, if you want a smartphone for vlogging, definitely you should consider this.
Battery
f I talk about specifications, it comes with Dimensity 8020 SoC. It’s a 6Nm based processor with an AnTuTu score of 7.10L. Which is very respectable in this price range. It comes with 2 variants, 8GB RAM & 256GB storage. And the variant above it is 12GB RAM & 256GB storage. It’s an LPDDR4X RAM type, but it’s a UFS 3.1 storage type. So the read & write speeds are good. It feels very snappy, that’s for sure. And if you take the 12GB variant, it comes with 9GB virtual RAM. So it’s 21GB of RAM!
Conclusion
Sensors Again, all sensors are there. There’s an in-display fingerprint sensor, face unlock, all good there. In terms of connectivity, there’s everything. There’s support for 14 5G bands. There’s Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 & there’s NFC support. So there’s everything in terms of connectivity options. Basically, you get all the connectivity options in a Rs 30-40K phone for Rs 20-22K. So very good there. If I talk about the small features, there’s IP53 certification. There’s no notification light but there are dual LEDs in the selfie. So if you’re taking portraits in the dark, you’ll benefit from it. So that’s there. There’s FM radio, SAR value within limits. And yes, this is vegan leather & the other colour variant comes in a glass pack. Infinix has packed everything in this phone. Just think, if you buy a 12GB variant with virtual RAM, you get 21GB RAM. The software optimization also plays a very important role. But these are my first impressions & I’m doing this video as soon as I got the phone. So overall, if I look at the price, hardware & software, my first impressions are really good. In this price range, a lot of phones have been launched. And there’s such a competition, every phone is better than the other.
