Third-party reviews

What we like about Infinix Zero 40 5G (12GB + 512GB)

  • Vibrant 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and excellent brightness for indoor use.
  • Good overall performance for daily tasks and gaming, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate processor.
  • Attractive and premium-feeling design, with slim bezels and a comfortable-to-hold curved body.
  • Generous features for the price, including a 108MP main camera with OIS, 50MP ultrawide lens, and 50MP front camera with 4K/60fps video support.
  • Useful connectivity and audio features, such as an IR blaster, IP54 rating, dual speakers tuned by JBL, and Wi-Fi 6E support.
  • Inclusion of wireless charging (20W) and reverse wired charging, a rare feature in this price segment.
  • Minimal bloatware in the XOS 14.5 software and a commitment to two major Android updates and three years of security patches.
  • Package includes a 45W charger and a protective case, which is a significant value-add.

What we don't like about Infinix Zero 40 5G (12GB + 512GB)

  • Inconsistent camera performance, with color inaccuracies between lenses and issues in low-light conditions.
  • Video stabilization (Ultra Steady Pro mode) is limited to 1080p, and 4K video recording lacks advanced stabilization features.
  • The battery life receives mixed reviews, with some users reporting fast draining, especially with heavy usage or the 144Hz refresh rate enabled.
  • Phone can heat up under heavy usage, such as extended gaming sessions or 4K video recording.
  • Slower wired charging speed (45W) compared to its predecessor, the Zero 30 5G (68W).
  • The in-display fingerprint sensor is positioned too low on the screen, making it inconvenient to use one-handed.
  • Some AI features in the software were noted as buggy or inconsistent by reviewers.
  • Considered by some as an underwhelming upgrade from the Infinix Zero 30 5G, which offers similar core features at a lower price.

Verdict

The Infinix Zero 40 5G (12GB + 512GB) is a premium mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.78-inch FHD+ 3D Curved AMOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It is powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate processor and includes a substantial 5000mAh battery with support for 45W wired and 20W wireless charging. The camera system is a key characteristic, offering a 108MP OIS main rear camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP front camera, all capable of 4K 60fps video recording. Pros include the powerful processor, vibrant 144Hz display, fast UFS 3.1 storage, IP54 dust and splash resistance, and the inclusion of wireless charging at its price point. Cons involve the phone tending to heat up during intensive gaming, underwhelming outdoor screen brightness, and the lack of stabilization when shooting in 4K video mode.
