Infinix Zero 20 Review: All about the Selfies

The Infinix Zero 20 is a new smartphone that Infinix has added to their Zero line-up. The Infinix Zero 20 appears to be a good deal and offers a tonne of features for the price. The phone's 108 MP primary camera and 60 MP OIS selfie camera are its two main selling points.

Infinix Zero 20 Price in India

The Infinix Zero 20 price in India starts from Rs 17999 for the only variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

The phone is available in three colour models including: Deep Gray, Glitter Gold and Green Fantasy.

Design

I must admit that the Infinix Zero 20 has a pretty basic appearance but it feels very contemporary. It definitely outperforms its pricing. On the back, you get a vivid matte surface that feels luxurious in your hands. This prevents it from drawing any fingerprints or smudges.

The three colour possibilities are Glitter Gold, Deep Grey, and Green Fantasy, and it has a fairly boxy design. For the review, I am carrying the earlier version. The two-tone finish is striking from a distance.

There is a large camera module with three lenses and an LED flash on the back. The button on the left side of the back panel bears a subdued Zero logo. It has a quality feel because of the flat edges and rounded corners. Additionally, it aids in giving hands a secure grip.

Overall, I have to say that the Infinix Zero 20 looks very appealing and comes with some unique colours.

Display

A 90Hz refresh rate FHD+ 6.7-inch AMOLED display is available on the Infinix Zero 20. With this budget, it's a fairly good display. The overall experience is seamless thanks to the 90Hz refresh rate. The user interface (UI) navigation and app switching both appear to be seamless.

On a cloudy day, I could use the phone both indoors and outside thanks to the good brightness levels. Although it may have been better, the sunlight legibility is not terrible.

When it comes to display quality, the AMOLED panel provides vibrant colours and rich blacks. The angles of observation are also favourable. It was enjoyable for me to watch a few Alice in Borderland episodes on Netflix.

With the exception of the chin, which has a little broader bezel, all the sides have tiny bezels. The water drop notch, which appears a little dated, is the only thing holding it back. Otherwise, you won't be let down because it's a great display for watching content.

Performance and Software

A MediaTek Helio G99 CPU, along with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, power the Infinix Zero 20. There is just one storage option for the phone, and a mircoSD card can be used to increase the storage. The phone handled my light usage, including texting, taking pictures, playing videos, and surfing, with no problems.

The apps launched swiftly, and toggling between them was easy. There was occasionally some lag, but it was not common. My experience while scrolling around Instagram for hours was positive. Almost no shutters.

A certain amount of multitasking is possible with the 8GB RAM. In terms of gameplay, I tried out a few challenging titles like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile. Both games could be enjoyed at medium settings.

The phone is powered by Android 12 under the XOS 12 skin. I wish it ran the most recent version of Android, 13, but perhaps that is too much to ask of Infinix. The user interface is easy to use and seems fluid.

Yes, as expected, the phone comes with pre-installed apps. Fear not—you can remove the majority of them. Additionally, you have access to a sizable number of features and customization choices in the settings.

Camera

Now let's talk about the Infinix Zero 20's cameras, which are truly its best feature. On the rear of the Infinix Zero 20, there are three cameras. This has a main camera with 108 MP, an ultra-wide lens with 13 MP, and a macro lens with 2 MP. Sounds good, yes? But the 60MP OIS selfie camera is more impressive.

Coming to the performance of the main 108 MP camera, it takes some really good photos when sufficient light is available. While the low light images are not as good as the daylight, they are more than usable and have a good amount of details. The dynamic range was also good in both day and night time images.

The other two cameras on the back of the phone are mostly there for show, while the ultra wide camera is somewhat usable the 2 MP macro camera is only to increase the number of cameras.

The front camera with 60MP is what's most valuable. It produces excellent selfies that have sharp details and a wide dynamic range. The skin tones appear authentic. The Infinix Zero 20 will undoubtedly bring a smile on your face if you enjoy taking selfies.

The primary and front cameras on the phone can capture 2K videos at 30 frames per second and 1080P videos at 60 frames per second. The front camera's OIS aids in capturing stable video and will be useful if you decide to record vlogs.

Battery

The Infinix Zero 20 has a respectable 4500mAh battery, which, while not as large as the competition's, nevertheless offers a strong battery backup. The phone is easily usable for a full day of light use.

You would need to charge the phone by evening if you are a heavy user who plays games and binge-watches Netflix shows. A 4500mAh battery provided me with roughly 6 hours of screen time, which is really impressive.

While there is no wireless charging, you do get a fast charging option with a 45 W charger. The charger can completely charge the phone from zero to 100 in about 50 mins and a quick 20 minutes gives about 50% charge.

Infinix Zero 20 Verdict

If you need a great selfie camera for creating content but 5G is not a top requirement, the Infinix Zero 20 is a good option. It operates well enough to accomplish daily chores in addition to taking quality pictures with both the primary and selfie cameras.

You receive a strong design and build that outperforms its cost. The 45W fast charging is also good for the price and has a respectable battery life. The 90Hz AMOLED display is vibrant and fluid for viewing content.
