What we like about Infinix Zero 30 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Premium design and build quality, with a slim, lightweight body and a luxurious-feeling vegan leather or glass back (depending on color variant).
  • Stunning 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, high brightness, and vibrant colors.
  • Great performance for daily tasks and most gaming, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor.
  • Impressive 50MP selfie camera that can record 4K video at 60fps and has autofocus, a rare feature in this price range, making it ideal for vlogging.
  • Good quality daytime photos from the 108MP main rear camera, which also features OIS for reduced blur.
  • Excellent battery life, often lasting a full day or more with typical use, complemented by fast 68W wired charging that tops up the phone quickly.
  • Good value for money, offering many features often found on more expensive, near-flagship phones.
  • Included accessories in the box such as a 68W charger, USB cable, earphones, and a case.
  • Solid connectivity performance, including 5G and Wi-Fi 6 support.
  • Dual stereo speakers with DTS support provide a good audio experience.

What we don't like about Infinix Zero 30 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Mediocre low-light camera performance, with photos appearing soft and noisy.
  • Software experience is hampered by pre-installed bloatware (unwanted apps) and only one major Android OS update promised.
  • Video stabilization could be better, especially at 4K resolution.
  • Absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
  • The curved display and glossy back can make the phone slippery and prone to accidental screen touches.
  • Performance may struggle during extended sessions of graphically intensive 3D games.
  • No wireless charging support.

Verdict

The Infinix Zero 30 5G (12GB + 256GB) is a camera-centric smartphone notable for its vibrant 6.78-inch, 144Hz AMOLED display and premium glass design. Its key selling point is the 50MP OIS front camera, capable of recording 4K video at 60fps, paired with a 108MP main rear sensor for high-resolution photography. Performance is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor and a substantial 12GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and gaming. Pros include the impressive selfie camera quality and fast 68W wired charging for the 5000mAh battery. Potential cons involve the presence of pre-installed bloatware, the absence of a telephoto lens, and the use of a plastic frame despite the glass panels.
