Infinix Zero X Pro

OhoPrice editorial review

The Zero X Pro is a camera-centric phone with a 108 MP main sensor, OIS, and a periscope telephoto lens offering 5x optical zoom — hardware that is nearly unheard of at Rs 49,999. The periscope lens bends light through a prism to achieve optical zoom without the phone becoming thicker, and at 5x it produces usable zoomed shots that digital crop cannot replicate. The Helio G95 on a 12 nm process is aging — it runs warm during gaming and drains battery faster than newer 6 nm chips. The 4500 mAh battery is the smallest on this list, which compounds the efficiency concern. The 6.7-inch 120 Hz display at roughly 395 PPI is sharp and smooth, with 700 nits peak brightness that handles outdoor use reasonably well. The 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage are adequate. The 16 MP selfie camera is basic. Build quality feels solid but not premium. This phone exists for buyers who want zoom photography on a budget and can accept the battery and processor compromises. The Tecno Spark 40 at Rs 6,000 less offers a 50 MP camera, 5200 mAh battery, and Helio G81 — none of which compete with the Zero X Pro's camera hardware, but the Spark 40's newer fabrication process and larger battery mean it lasts longer on a charge. The Zero X Pro's periscope telephoto and OIS are unique advantages for photography enthusiasts who want optical zoom; the Spark 40 is a basic shooter for casual snaps. The Spark 40's 720p display is noticeably softer than the Zero X Pro's Full HD+ panel. For buyers who prioritise camera versatility, especially zoom capability, the Infinix is unmatched at this price; the Spark 40 is the pragmatic pick for buyers who want a lightweight, long-lasting daily driver. Infinix phones are commonly PTA-approved in Pakistan, but the Zero X Pro's periscope camera module may affect import classification — verify tax status before purchase.
