Introduction
Infinix has officially released its first foldable mobile phone called the Infinix Zero Flip. Similar to the Tecno Phantom V Flip2, this device features a clamshell design, showcasing a major display of 6.9 inches LTPO AMOLED with FHD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it includes a 3.64-inch cover display that also offers the same 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass protection.
Infinix designed the system of the Zero Flip around a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor, pairing it with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. It includes a robust camera setup: 50MP twin lenses on the rear teamed with an OIS and a 50MP selfie, and all equipped for 4K. With the 4,720mAh battery, the device has fast charging of 70W for its specific capacity that lasts many hours and would not take that long to recharge.
In particular, the Zero Flip has a zero-gap hinge that lets the device close tightly and become a tripod for taking pictures hands-free. It also features customizable software options and AI enhancements for improved user experience. Priced at approximately $645, it is available in two colors: Rock Black and Blossom.
Pros
- Display Quality: This model comes with a display size of 6.8 inches LTPO AMOLED displaying at a 120Hz refresh rate to provide fluid visuals and good brightness adaptability for any environment.
- Camera System: featuring a twin 50MP rear camera and a 50MP front Mushkin camera, the Zero Flip is capable of 4k video recordings to satisfy photography freaks and vloggers.
- Performance: Backed up by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor and 8GB of RAM, users can expect high performance for multitasking and especially gaming.
- Battery Life: It has a 4,700 mAh battery and supports 70W fast charge that enables charge and use throughout the day.
Cons
- Software Support: While Infinix has a long-term dedication plan to offer software updates to its flagship phones, it provides only one major OS update and two years of security updates, which may unappeal to long-term users.
- Camera Performance in Low Light: Users have mentioned that low-light photography is problematic, as their photos turn out grainy or lacking in detail, even when using high-end equipment.
- Build Thickness When Folded: The phone’s thickness when folded is 16mm which might look a little thick compared to other foldable phones in the market.
Conclusion
The first foldable smartphone from the Infinix brand is a clamshell called Infinix Zero Flip, which costs about 645 USD and comes with 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED, MediaTek Dimensity 8020, up to 16GB of RAM, and an advanced camera. Despite its impressive features, limitations include software support, low-light camera performance, and build thickness when folded.
In my opinion, Infinix mobile has well captured every signal aspect of the whole innovation, performance, and affordability ease on the Infinix Zero Flip. However, its software support and low-light camera performance may be concerns.
Can software updates overcome the camera system’s limitations in low-light conditions? How does the Zero Flip compare to other foldable smartphones like Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5?
