Infinix Zero 40 5G – Design

Dimension 164.31×74.47×7.9mm
Weight 195g
Colour Rock Black, Violet Garden, Moving Titanium
IP Rating IP54

Infinix Zero 40 5G has an eye-catching design. We had the Moving Titanium variant for this review and it stands out.

The shiny silver finish has a subtle dual-tone colour shift at the back. While some users might find this design choice flimsy, it adds a premium touch to the phone especially its combination with the 3D-cruved front.

The back catches the light, doesn’t attract fingerprints or smudges and looks sleek without being over the top. Infinix clearly checked all the boxes here.

Zero 40 5G has an ultra-slim form. It feels lightweight and comfortable in hand without being bulky. The phone is surprisingly easy to use one-handed, which is a big advantage for users like us.

The camera module is a circular design with four lens cutouts. While the design is noticeable, it doesn’t stick out too much. The engraved camera features add a cool touch and the overall design feels well thought-out. The LED flash is cleverly placed both inside and outside the module.

Overall, the phone feels smooth in hand with no sharp edges.

It comes with an IP54 rating to give basic protection against dust and splashes.

If you’re someone who likes well-thought-out designs in smartphones, this is something you will like.

After using the Infinix Zero 40 5G for a while, we must say that the display is definitely one of its highlights.

The AMOLED curved display is really impressive in every sense. It has an almost edge-to-edge design, thanks to that impressive 93.40% screen-to-body ratio. This makes the display feel immersive.

We particularly enjoyed watching content on this phone. It is perfect for binge-watching or even playing games.

The bezels are uniform and much narrower than we expected.

The FHD+ resolution (1080×2436) ensures everything looks sharp. The AMOLED display adds the punch to visuals that are often missing from phones of this price segment.

The colours on display come out rich and vibrant. Every shade of colour pops.

Plus, it comes with a peak brightness of 1300 nits. We had no issues using it even in direct sunlight. Even on a relatively bright day, we didn’t feel the need to crank the brightness all the way up.

Refresh rate options include —60Hz, 120Hz, and a buttery smooth 144Hz. At 144Hz, everything just feels so much more responsive. And the 360Hz touch sampling rate added to the fluid experience.

It all makes the display fast-paced. We tried playing games like BGMI or Genshin Impact on this display and it feels super responsive too.

Overall, we loved how the Infinix Zero 40 5 G display performs in day-to-day use.

Whether we watched movies, played games, or just spent time casually browsing, this display made it look and feel better.

Whether we were multitasking, gaming or just switching between apps, the phone handled everything smoothly.

That octa-core setup brings speed to the phone. The 3.1GHz clock speed on the main core is impressive. And we noticed that even heavier apps opened quickly without any delay.

We could easily jump between multiple apps with no noticeable slowdowns. Even with more demanding tasks like gaming or editing photos, the phone didn’t go through any lags.

The benchmark scores speak for themselves. We tested the phone on multiple benchmarks and the results were impressive including the 831755 AnTuTu score.

The phone handles graphics-intensive games really well.

We tested a few high-end games such as BGMI and Genshin Impact. The games ran smoothly without much noticeable frame drops. We even tried higher settings and it felt smooth. The phone was heating up a bit in higher settings but it remained cool for the most part. Other than heavy games, we didn’t notice any major heating issues during longer sessions.

The camera setup on the Infinix Zero 40 5G is a solid 4K Ultra-HD Flagship Camera with AI.

The triple rear camera system is led by a 108MP primary sensor. It is a capable camera and captures sharp and vibrant photos.

The f/1.75 aperture lets in plenty of light, We found that photos taken during the day were crisp. Most photos capture a lot of detail. The time taken in processing images feels a bit much at times and we kept losing the shot we were aiming for because of this delay.

Even in low light or indoor dim lighting conditions, the AI Cam does a great job of balancing exposure. We got some decent shots indoors in low light without too much noise creeping in. The low-light capability of this phone is impressive.

There is also a 50MP ultra-wide camera and it performs well. We have to especially mention the way it maintained good colour accuracy and detail even at wide angles.

We noticed minimal distortion at the edges. The 2MP depth sensor is decent and creates a nice blur in portrait shots. It gives a perfect professional bokeh effect.

When it comes to video, the Infinix Zero 40 5G shoots 4K video at 60fps, and it looks impressive.

We tried taking some street videos and they came out sharp. The colours are vibrant and there are smooth transitions between light and shadow.

The camera has some fun shooting options. It comes with a vlog mode for vlogging.  There is also a dual recording mode that can be used to capture multiple perspectives at the same tim

The camera can also be easily integrated with the Go-Pro.

The front-facing is also impressive with a solid 50MP sensor. Selfies are clear and detailed, The wide-angle lens makes it perfect for group selfies too.
