Infinix Zero Ultra 5G was launched in India last month. It appears to be an impressive offering on paper, with features like a 200-megapixel main camera and support for 180W Thunder Charge fast charging. This Infinix smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. Its starting price was Rs. Rupee. 29,999, which has since increased to Rs. 36,999. However, does the Infinix Zero Ultra 5G justify the increased price tag?
In this week’s episode of the Gadgets 360 podcast Orbital, host Siddhartha Suvarna interacted with the reviewer Pranav Hegde and senior reviewer sheldon pinto to find out how infinix zero ultra 5g Rent against the competition.
Hegde has been using this smartphone for almost a month now and was directly surprised by the Rs. 36,999 price point – a premium price for one Infinix smart fone. Despite the high price, Hegde notes that the 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is good enough. However, the triple rear camera unit packs a 200-megapixel main camera and support for 180W Thunder Charge fast charging.
The handset sports a curved display and split-back design. Hegde points out that the rear panel gets a faux leather finish along with a fiberglass section. Both Suvarna and Pinto are keen on the build quality of the phone. Infinix Zero Ultra 5G sub-Rs. appears to be. 25,000 smartphones according to Hegde. Its 6.8 inch curved AMOLED display gives it a premium look. However, the large display eats into the battery life of the smartphone.
The Pinto inquired about the performance of the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset. Hegde points out that the chipset has been popular in the mid-range segment. Here, it gets the job done! Providing a smooth gaming experience and a decent performance during regular usage. Moving on, the Pinto takes a dig at the shoddy software experience of Infinix smartphones in the past. Hegde is also not a fan of the UI featured on the Infinix Zero Ultra 5G. It doesn’t look anywhere near as premium as the Rs. 37,000 price that it is currently selling for. Hegde says that despite being feature-rich to an extent, the smartphone comes with several pre-installed apps. Strange naming schemes can make the whole experience confusing for the user as well.
Furthermore, the subpar battery performance and un-optimized refresh rate auto-switching further spoil the experience of using the Infinix Zero Ultra 5G. The only plus side appears to be the 180W charger that comes in the box, says Hegde. Even the 200-megapixel camera is underpowered. The configuration appears solid on paper, but the software is not properly optimized. Suvarna points out that Infinix is not known for its software updates, so maybe people should hold their breath for a software patch in the near future. Finally, we discuss the competition that this smartphone faces in the sub-Rs. 40,000 segment and should users consider buying it.
