Infinix Zero 5 and the Zero 5 Pro features a 5.98-inch 1080p (Full-HD) JDI display, with 2.5D curved glass at the up-front. Processing powered comes from a MediaTek Helio P25 Oct-Core SoC with the aforementioned 6GB of RAM. All the hardwares are functioning together with the power of Android 7.0 (Nougat).
As for the camera department, well, do you remember the same camera setup on the recently announced Tecno Phantom 8? That is exactly what is at the back and front of the Infinix Zero 5: 12-megapixel (Sony IMX386 sensor) rear camera with wide-angle lens along with a 13-megapixel secondary camera with telephoto lens offering 2x optical zoom and portrait mode. It also has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera with LED flash.
The point of emphases of Infinix was mainly on the camera department of the smartphone. The company claims that the dual-camera setup at the back of the device makes it the ‘real dual-camera smartphone’ with ability to achieve a true-DSLR-like bokeh effects, thanks to the 2X optical zoom.
Power is supplied by a rather impressive 4,350mAh battery with USB Type-C port. Considering the presence of the power efficient Helio P25 and a battery of this size, the Zero 5 should last for several hours of heavy usage. More interestingly is the support for fast charging technology via MediaTek Pump Express.
