Not playing any more games, Infinix is getting serious with its competitors in the sub-continent with its latest flagship, the Infinix Zero 5. Boasting all the features flagship smartphones of 2017 harness, the Infinix Zero 5 will be priced more affordably at roughly Rs. 32,000.

Design

As is the trend with manufacturers this year, the Infinix Zero 5 is a big phone with a huge bezel-less display. The phone is tall at 6.7 inches whilst sporting a screen of 5.98-inches. It seems like Infinix could’ve done a better job at making it more bezel-less since these dimensions mean the phone won’t be usable with one hand. Above the screen a 16MP camera sensor can be found for all your selfies. On the back we have another new mainstream feature: dual cameras, which are placed in a band that takes up the whole width of the phone at the top; giving the phone a very aesthetically pleasing look. For security, below the dual cameras a fingerprint scanner is present. The entire phone is encased in a metal unibody and the finish is very elegant.
