Infinix ZERO 30 - The budget pocket content creation powerhouse?

Infinix ZERO 30 4G recently arrived in the Philippines for under PHP 10K and it could be the best good-looking yet affordable content creation smartphone.

The under PHP 10K camera smartphone for your?

The ZERO line has historically cherry-picked specs and features focused on capturing photos and video from more expensive smartphones down to the masses. The new ZERO 30 4G continues this trend with the one trade-off being 4G-only connectivity.

To recap, the new ZERO 30 4G carries the 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 octa-core processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a large 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. 

At the back of the phone is the 108MP f/1.7 main camera with PDAF while in front is the 50MP f/2.5 selfie camera with Dual-Micro Slit flash.

In the Philippines, it has an SRP of PHP 9,999.

Pocket powerhouse for the masses?

Infinix ZERO 30 4G's rear cameras

1. 108MP main cam + 50MP cam on a budget - If our memory serves us right, this is the only smartphone with this type of powerful camera configuration at both the back and front under PHP 10K.

Moreover, both the rear and front-facing cameras can capture photos and video with an LED flash. The Quad-LED flash is located below the tertiary camera while the Dual-micro slit flash is located on the left of the earpiece above the display.

Just take a look at the two sample shots we uploaded above.

2. 2K at 30fps recording - Both rear and front-facing cameras can capture video at up to 2K at 30fps without stabilization. Even if it is locked at 1080p 30fps, the camera app also features an Ultra-steady mode that smoothens the footage by introducing a crop or loss of field of view.

3. Large 120Hz AMOLED screen - Because of the large 6.78-inch curved AMOLED screen, consuming or creating content becomes much easier because of the large real estate. You can see more of the viewfinder which includes the composition of the photo or video with enough space for the buttons, controls, features, and the like.

Let's not forget that the display is also Gorilla Glass protected with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 360Hz touch sampling rate, a 1,920Hz PWM dimming, and an FHD 2400 x 1080 resolution.

The Infinix ZERO 30 has pretty strong specs, big memory configuration, and a large fast-charging battery capacity

4. Capable specs and large memory configuration - The ZERO 30 4G features the decent-performing MediaTek Helio G99 octa-core processor, Mali G57 MC2, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. 

With the reliable and capable performance of the Helio G99, the ZERO 30 4G allows the users to capture and record photos and videos at high resolutions of 108MP photos or up to 2K at 30fps while keeping the thermals of the phone at an acceptable level after an extended period. This also applies to a certain extent to gaming.

5. Massive 5,000mAh battery - With its large capacity, users can keep taking photos and capture video for hours. And when they do run out of battery, the 45W SuperCharge can get them back to 100 percent in no time. So far, the battery life on a single charge isn’t even near the best. So it’s a good thing the fast charging is there to top it up.
