5G is going to be selling point in 2021 but for now, we don’t have many options to choose from because 5G smartphones are a bit expensive. So what’s the choice, you have to go with 4G or wait for three or four-month to buy 5G phones below 20k in India. Now, if you can’t wait then you have tons of 4G phones to choose from and recently Infinix added a new phone to its budget segment smartphones.
Infinix Zero 8i is priced at Rs 14,999 for 8GB of Ram and 128GB storage and this is 4G smartphone but it’s gaming smartphone. So if you wanted to buy a smartphone for gaming then this could be a great option for you but before you buy let’s see whether you should spend 15k in Infinix brand or not?

Is it Worth Buying Infinix Zero 8i?
Yes, Infinix Zero 8i is worth buying a smartphone because the phone has powerful MediaTek Helio G90T Gaming processor and 33W fast charging support which is a great combo for gamers. It also has decent camera setup including dual selfie cameras and massive 6.85-inches display. Overall, Infinix Zero 8i value for money device at Rs 14,999.
Performance
Infinix Zero 8i is powered by MediaTek Helio G90T SoC which is great SoC for gaming but the phone is running on XOS 7.0 (Based on Android 10). The only problem is, UI is not that great, it’s complicated. So if you want clean UI then this could deal breaker for you. Overall, there won’t be any problem in performance.
Cameras
The Infinix Zero 8i comes with Quad camera setup featuring 48MP primary sensor + 8MP Ultra-Wide lens + 2MP Depth sensor + AI sensor while there is dual 16MP + 8MP Ultra-Wide selfie shooter. The Rear camera can shoot videos up to 4k@30fps while the front camera can record up to 1080p@30fps.
The phone has good camera setup but when it’s come to low lighting condition, the camera suffers. For more, you can read my Infinix Zero 8i Review.
Battery Life
Infinix Zero 8i comes with 4,500 mAh (non-removable) with 33W fast charging support but Infinx has supplied 18W charger in the box that means to get 33W fast charging, you have to buy 33W charger separately. The battery life is also not that great, the phone will be dead at around 7PM, if you’re a casual user.
Conclusion
The Infinix Zero 8i has a powerful processor which will give the best possible performance in all the department. Things changes when it’s come to cameras, the phone does have a good camera but it’s doesn’t give the best images at night.
Bottom line, if the camera is not the highest priority then Infinix Zero 8i great value for money device but if you want everything then take look at POCO X3 or RealMe Narzo 20 Pro.
