The Infinix Zero 5 is the line among some of the best smartphones released by Infinix recently. A late 2017 release, it still stands better than some of those that have only been released more recently. It comes with good specs, generous battery life, and dual rear camera, becoming the first Infinix smartphone to feature the technology.
The Smartphone came into the market as a successor of the Infinix Zero 4 flagship that came earlier than this. While the Zero 4 is likewise great, it is caught very much behind the Zero 5 in major specs such as the RAM, Storage, Camera, battery life, and much more, meaning that Infinix really wants you to stand much taller with this phone.

Design of the Infinix Zero 5
With a 5.98-inch IPS Display, this is a phablet that has excellent looks and a shiny metal chassis for the body, which means that it will be much more durable than many others coming with premium plastic. That said, with curved ages that can get one confusing it for a Samsung, the piece is still not a heavy one even with the make, hence it is easy to carry about.
The Infinix Zero 5 comes with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and it easily beats the competition with the 500 nits of brightness it comes with. More so, it features a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that helps to protect your screen from cracking. As pointed above, it comes in Sandstone Black, Bordeaux Red, and Champagne Gold colors.
Memory and Storage
With the many things that can be said about the Zero 5, one thing that is even more interesting is that it comes with a memory of 6GB RAM. The truth here is that even in this age, there are not too many laptops that will give you a RAM of 6GB. Because of this, the Zero 5 will give you excellent performance.

Also, it has a processor running at speeds up to 2.6 GHz, which means that the performance is topped even more and it goes well above the 1.3 GHz that you get with the Zero 4.
I also love the fact that it comes with a 64GB storage which can be expanded to as much as 128GB. There are other phones, even smaller ones that offer more than this, but I still feel with the Memory offered, the storage is still great.
Camera
One of the best things about the Infinix Zero 5 is its camera. The front camera it features has 16 MP and single selfie flash. At the rear, the phone has two cameras of 12 MP and 13 MP. It has a 10x Super Zoom and a single-LED flash.
While the camera is good, under low light, it may struggle a little.
Software
With Android 7.0 Nougat, it runs on a processor of eight-core MediaTek Helio P25 chipset, the phone has excellent performance considering that it has a 2.6 GHz processing speed. In addition to this, it has a RAM of 6 GB which helps in achieving good multitasking.
Media
For playing music and other media, It is likewise a good phone because it is quite loud enough and if you love watching movies on a phone, of course, you can guess that with a 5.98 Inches screen that has 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution, you should have a good run.
One of the problems that you will find with the phone, however, is with the speakers when listening to music. It is good, but it may lack a little when it comes to the bass. But when making use of the earpiece, the audio performance becomes much better.
Battery Life
Infinix Zero 5 smartphone has a very good battery life with a capacity of 4350mAh. This is a significant improvement from the Zero 4 which has a 3200 mAh battery as well as the Infinix Hot S X521 which has a 3,000 mAh Li-Ion battery. The battery is able to last for a very long time and it also charges very fast.
