immanuello: Shhhhh yeye infinix promoter,promoting rubish since 1900,i dont just conclude i had seen d camera quality.pls leave d price aside,let talk about quality,can you compare it camera quality to s5,sony xperia z3 or samsung galaxy note 2 or note 3 camera.if it cam or match then i will buy,though this phone has good specs though d battery is ok by me.So i am not against you but i say d blunt truth,dont be blind to truth.
am not here to either praise the fone or condem it but believe me d camera is far better than most phones, its far better than all tecno fones(including tecno z) the flash brightens so well at night and taking pics at night is wonderful.

Just got my Zero after 10 days (6 working days) from Konga. The phone handles exceptionally well and the camera is quite remarkable. Even the build is sturdy so I don't understand the many negative reviews on here. Just ordered the 16gb version and I'm hoping to be as impressed. For the specs it possesses, the under-25k pricetag should make you prepared for any eventuality in my opinion.

Fidel24: Finally I got my own Infinix today and it's cool. D front side design is nice and seems to be Gorilla3. But dat glass behind already got a one line scratch. I wonder. And I saw one annoying paper label 'made in China'. And another light inscription on d body 'Designed by Infinix in France'. I neva see light to charge and test d sim and memory slots! I'm satisfied wit d xternal hardware, just praying I'll continue to be.


N/B seems like d scratch I noticed on d bak appears to b on d transparent material covering d bak and not d main glass. I'm sorry 4dat.

Was it the 2+16?

Re: Infinix zero discussion thread! by Karles(m): 5:41pm On Sep 15, 2014
Now easy there with the criticisms. Okay? Let me say somethings about the Infinix zero which i would like you to understand. I lost my smartphone at a bus stop location, Oshodi to be precise, to pick pockets sometime in August only for me to stumble on an infinix ad on my timeline. It was the Zero phone. It looked sleek and seemed to have promise. Now for your information, the phone i lost was the infinix race bolt. Guess you remember. The phone some guys said got as hot as a pressing iron, remember? On seeing this phone i decided to go for yet another one which was this zero. So i pre ordered and when and got the phone on the 5th of september. It looked cool to me. Most especially when i got to know that it was going to run on android 4.4.2 (kitkat).

Now infinix is only trying to help people enjoy the benefits of mobile technology at an earlier time in life. Just give the company a chance. If you can just tell yourself the truth you'll find out that this company has vision. Hey, they began in 2012. My racebolt OEM was from a company called Alps. Today, the zero is from an OEM called Infinix. Which means they are good.

Now, back to the zero. There are some issues that have been discussed from the page 42, i guess, to this page of which some people talked about of which i would help throw more light. These are:

1 Micro SIM tray
Let's tell ourselves the truth, how many of we nairalanders have used a phone with a MicroSIM tray? Now before we all go shouting, i use a samsung or apple or whatever, I want you guys to know that there are people who have never used one of which Infinix is trying expose this to us.

Another problem is this. If you have never used a micro SIM tray before what makes you think that you would use it properly. Mind you, all the MicroSim trays i have seen are only single SIM but this is one is double. This means that the tray would be longer and most likely be prone to breakages if not handled properly. When i recovered my MTN SIM, i discovered it had been pre-cut for either Mini SIM or MicroSIM so i could just peel out the microSIM part of the SIM and put it in the zero and it entered snugly, no problems. But when i went to recover my Etisalat line, i told them i wanted to a MicroSIM of which a SIM cutter of some sort was used. Now, by the time i put it into the SIM tray i noticed it became stiff. On removing the card, i flattened the edges of the SIM and that was it. The tray went in just as if there were no SIMs on it. My etisalat data connection wasn't working and i thought it was SIM1 3g SIM2 2g but i was wrong but sides had the capability of 3g they could be swapped just by choosing the right settings. So i went to etisalat office and they rectified the problem on the network, it wasn't the zero, it was the network. So ensure that the micro SIM edges are smooth. That's all. It will go in smoothly. Another thing, choose the networks you want to use on the phone finally. Opening and closing sim trays is risky, most especially double sim like this one.

2. Gorilla Glass
One of the hypes that got people salivating was Corning Gorilla Glass 3. They said no scratches. As a matter of fact, a video was posted on you tube showing someone using a key to scratch the glass to prove the ad right. I just couldn't help laughing. If you ask me, that wasn't necessary.
What i have noticed is that people seemed to have let their guard down when they heard this. This is say to we can all throw our phones around anyhow, after all it is corning gorilla glass 3. This is mentality is wrong. You should take care of your Zero with the same amount of care you would any phone so that when it drops by accident it would be there for you (mind you my phone fell from my breast pocket to a tiled floor and its still there no problems).

3. Etisalat data bonus
This bonus is quite misleading if you ask me. It said free 500mb monthly. But when you get the pack, it would tell that only the first month is free and that the 2nd to the 12th month would require a monthly subscription of 2000 naira 500mb to get the 500 mb monthly data. I am using the first mont which indeed is free.

4. Battery life
If there is anything that baffles me is when some leaves data connection on all throughout the day, then plays games, watches videos, social media, browsing, downloading which is pretty much what the youth do with phones these days, and then expect 10 more hours on charge on a low midrange phone. It doesn't make sense. The zero isn't as bad as you think. Firstly, get a powerbank. Secondly, to last longer on your phone do these:
-Your display should be set to the lowest. You might be suprised at how clear it would still be.
-Switch off your data connection when you are not using it. If you must be on at all times for social media notifications, switch to 2g data connection.
-Whenever you have finished using the phone, switch off the screen.


5. The difference between my former racebolt and this zero.
-the racebolt cost me 26500 naira while my zero cost me 20,900
-the google play services could not run on my racebolt but the google play services was already pre installed and i updated it.
-bolt was 4.0.4 Zero was 4.4.2
-bolt didn't have other OTA, Zero is promising OTA.
-bolt was 1700maH, Zero is 1920maH


If your phone has a factory fault or goes bad for no fault of your own. the Zero is under 12months warranty. Just use the carl care app on your phone to locate the nearest center to you.

i am just loving the phone. Here's the screenshot of my Home screen:

I am d guy that had d back of his fone cracked... There is nothing wrong with the fone..even if I dnt know hw d fone cracked doesn't mean it's bad. U need to watch a YouTube video on 720p quality on ur highest brightness on d zero... Its fantastiic... The only department I have issues with the fone is it beign dis cheap.. They should have made it 35k plus lol. Just kidding tho... D battery isn't so great but I noticed only Internet eg browsing et all drains ur battery esp when on H+ and downloading and all dat... Gaming on the zero doesn't really zap battery life as I have fifa14 and mc4 and gta etc running well on the fone.... I gt a powerbank as well of 20,000mah so dat solves the power issues.


If u wanna buy... Buy... If u feel u shd go for a more expensive fone... All good... We r adults and shd make our decisions.... The guy dat posted d facebook comments and d guy quarrelling with him una get time sha... U guys shd man up and quit all dat childish fight.

Infinix ddnt do bad at all cos I dnt knw wia ud get a fone running kitkat outta the box for such an amount. They should just made d battery like 2400mah and above den dis fone woulda been a beast.

MzTyna abeg speeded up ma repairs if I go to carlcare Ikeja na abeg lol...... Have fun all... Good evening.. If u need more reviews let. E knw as I have been using the zero for a week and 4days...bleas fire
