In the United States, we have a variety of phone options, but we often miss out on some of the best budget devices available in other parts of the world. The Infinix Zero 40 5G serves as a reminder of the low- or mid-range phones that never make it to the Western market, despite being a strong competitor to the Google Pixel 8a.
Priced at around $335 to $370, the Infinix Zero 40 5G offers excellent value compared to the Pixel 8a, which is currently priced at $399. One unique feature of the Infinix Zero 40 5G is its GoPro mode, allowing travelers to control their cameras with ease.
In terms of specs, the Infinix Zero 40 5G impresses with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display boasting a 144Hz refresh rate. It is available in three attractive colors: Violet Garden, Moving Titanium, and Rock Black.
Comparatively, the Pixel 8a has a smaller 6.1-inch display with a maximum 120Hz refresh rate, but it excels in brightness, reaching up to 2,000 nits compared to the Zero 40 5G’s 1,300 nits.
Support-wise, the Pixel 8a wins with seven years of software support, while the Zero 40 5G offers two major Android updates and three years of support.
The Infinix Zero 40 5G boasts a 50MP front camera capable of recording in 4K at 60fps, and a triple-camera setup on the back featuring a 108MP primary camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 2MP depth units.
While the 5,000mAh battery is average, its compatibility with 45W charging and 10W reverse wired charging support is noteworthy.
Infinix has proven its worth with previous models like the Infinix GT 20 Pro and Infinix Note 40 Pro+, offering budget-friendly gaming phones and innovative charging controls.
Unfortunately, there is no confirmation of the Infinix Zero 40 5G coming to the U.S., highlighting the value and innovation often found in smartphones from other regions.
