Rumors and speculations had suggested four (4) days back, that Infinix Mobility was going to unveil the Infnix Zero 5 in an event in Dubai today. Well, nothing seems to be missing; Infinix Mobility have today, announced the Infinix Zero 5 and Zero 5 Pro smartphones at an event in Dubai. The smartphones are priced around 275 and 305 US Dollars for the standard and the Pro versions respectively.

Let get it up straight here: There is really no much difference between the Zero 5 and the Zero 5 Pro. The major difference between the two devices is the presences of 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage in the Infinix Zero 5 Pro version, whereas the standard Infinix Zero 5 host same 6GB RAM, but with a rather moderate 64GB internal storage.

Infinix Zero 5, Zero 5 Pro specifications, features

As far as specifications goes, the Infinix Zero 5 and the Zero 5 Pro features a 5.98-inch 1080p (Full-HD) JDI display, with 2.5D curved glass up-front. Processing powered comes from a MediaTek Helio P25 Oct-Core SoC with the aforementioned 6GB of RAM. All the hardwares are functioning together with the power of Android 7.0 (Nougat).



As for the camera department, well, do you remember the same camera setup on the recently announced Tecno Phantom 8? That is exactly what is at the back and front of the Infinix Zero 5: 12-megapixel (Sony IMX386 sensor) rear camera with wide-angle lens along with a 13-megapixel secondary camera with telephoto lens offering 2x optical zoom and portrait mode. It also has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera with LED flash.

The point of emphases of Infinix was mainly on the camera department of the smartphone. The company claims that the dual-camera setup at the back of the device makes it the ‘real dual-camera smartphone’ with ability to achieve a true-DSLR-like bokeh effects, thanks to the 2X optical zoom.

Power is supplied by a rather impressive 4,350mAh battery with USB Type-C port. Considering the presence of the power efficient Helio P25 and a battery of this size, the Zero 5 should last for several hours of heavy usage. More interestingly is the support for fast charging technology via MediaTek Pump Express.

Another crap

Everything exactly same with the Tecno Phantom 8. I mean, where are the options that these guys are giving to the market? Just change in brand name, but similar specifications? What if I don't want to use MediaTek Helio P25? Come on Transion, abi na Tension self?

Walahi.

I'd just go and buy meizu m6 note instead

275$ is a very competitive price. I would definitely buy this over the phantom 8 since all the specs seem to be the same.

The phone is almost 100k o

That is if your scope of comparison stops just at the Tecno Phantom 8. But look outside Nigerian smartphone market, and you'll see that $275 for a MediaTek Helio P25 is not competitive at all. Doogee Mix with same processor start at $139. Vernee Mix 2 with same processor and even 3-ways bezelles display starts at $189, Xiaomi Mi5s... never mind!!!. Infinix Zero 5 is not competitive to me.

Almost....? wait, let it land on jumia, and you'll hear the price.

Kai, seriously ehhnn! We are just being monopolized by this Transion Holding People. That is my pain with all this our Nigeria "Wealthy Guys" flaunting cars and houses on social medias.... I mean don't they have any sense of entrepreneurship in the Technology sphere?

am I the only one seeing a leagoo kiccaa here?

I don't like making price comparisons with phones being sold online, but in any case if you were to order for most of these phones online and add costs of shipping, and also add to your order items like screen protector and case (since you wont get these anywhere in town) you find that the difference is quite negligible and not worth the risk or wait.
However, you buy what makes you comfortable, that's it.

Are you kidding me? Do you really buy phones online? Try it and when the package shall arrive, you'll see all those things you mentioned above right there in. Plus, what you pay to ship, you can as well ship it free.

I understand your stand though
