Infinix Zero 5G - What we know

The Infinix Zero 5 is expected to come with a 6.7-inch FullHD+ display with a high 120Hz refresh rate. At the heart of the device runs the Dimentsity 900 SoC with HyperEngine 3.0 that aims at improving gaming on smartphones.

The company says that with the latest version of HyperEngine, gamers can seamlessly game without being interrupted or losing connectivity. The technology also helps improve Bluetooth 5.2 connections for true wireless earphones.

Unlike a lot of other brands that cut down on the 5G bands, Infinix says that the Zero 5G will come with support for up to 13 5G bands. This puts it in league with the Galaxy M52, Mi 11 Ultra 5G, Reno 6 5G and Moto Edge 20 Fusion.

In terms of camera, the Infinix Zero 5G may come with a primary 48-megapixel sensor, an ultra-wide camera and a telephoto lens with up to 30x zoom. Selfie enthusiasts may get a teardrop notch in the front of the device. The overall uni-body design of the smartphone as well as the camera enclosure takes a lot of reference from the Oppo Find X3.

The Infinix Zero 5G is also expected to launch with fast UFS 3.1 storage. However, variants and capacity options are unclear at this time. With UFS 3.1, users can enjoy faster load times of games. Media transfer speeds from physical storage devices are also improved.

Powering the internals of the Infinix Zero 5G may be a 5,000mAh battery pack with support for 33W fast charging. The smartphone is also expected to run XOS 7.6 based on Android 11 with updates for future Android to be announced at the launch event.
