Verdict
In terms of budget phones are concerned and this Infinix Zero 20 gets a number of things right. It takes great selfies, has a great design, bright display and a decent performance. Its low-light capabilities are slightly lacking and the UI isn't as clean among the competitors. But, if these concerns aren't a factor in your purchase choice and you're not concerned about the Zero 20 should be a excellent purchase.
The bottom line
The Zero 20 looks classy with its rectangular slab-like design. The phone's dark matte finish works perfectly with the polished silver rails as well as the camera housing that is raised. Like most phones the USB Type-C port as well as an audio grille are located at the bottom, along with an 3.5mm headphone port. After handling the phone for a few minutes, I was able to find the design to be well-balanced, sturdy and well-designed. In the end it's the Zero 20 should be at the top of your list if you are looking for an attractive exterior. The display is the 6.7-inch AMOLED panel that has a an incredibly fast 90Hz frame rate. The waterdrop-style notch is dated that sits at the top of the screen to house the OIS 60-megapixel selfie camera, and the bezels surrounding the display aren't too thin as well. However the overall experience that the device offers is adequate. The colors and brightness levels were pleasing to me, though the slight blue-ish tint is visible occasionally as the monitor is set to an angle. The panel doesn't have HDR capabilities on the screen, with OTT content limited to HD by virtue of the WideVine L1 certification. I also observed an 90Hz rate of refresh glitch slightly in some heavy applications such as YouTube as well as Facebook. Moving on to the camera configuration The main camera has a resolution of 108MP that is supported by a 13MP ultra-wide as well as two macro sensors of 2MP. Its 60MP OIS photo camera acts as the star of the camera and I tried it in various lighting conditions. When clicking pixel-binned 15MP photos as default, the high-resolution 60MP mode can be switched on by tapping. The output images are extremely rich, and can capture significant facial details. It also calibrates the lighting behind my face quite effectively and, thanks to OIS it is able to take sharp pictures even in the event that my hands shake a little. The rest of my camera's experience was mediocre by comparison. I did manage to get some decent daylight photos from the main camera that captured the right details and colors just right, but they were lacking in the dynamic range. This can be said of the ultra-wide sensor, and I liked the lack of blurring on the edge. However, low-light pictures of the phone may leave a little to be unsatisfied. The objects that are a little distant in the frame might require several attempts to be able to focus. Noise and detail levels aren't properly adjusted and there's a general softness in the majority of shots. In the back there is an MediaTek Helio G99 processor that is a decent choice to use for low-cost devices. In terms of benchmarks are relevant, the scores are sufficient for my requirements. There was some slowness when I was using the UI occasionally, but aside from this it was an easy experience. There's only one model of the phone, which is 8GB RAM with the internal memory of 128GB. The fingerprint sensor that is on the side is working well, and I am also a fan of the stereo speakers that are available within the phone. For connectivity issues, you can only get the 4G standard LTE service since the chipset is not compatible with 5G. Its XOS 12 skin, based on Android 12, runs on the device and is the bloatware. For the duration of the battery it has an mAh of 4,500mAh that is fast charged at 44W. In PCMark's battery test the device produced a score of 10 hours, which is fairly standard for phones with a budget. The phone's usage was approximately 5 hours on the screen, without playing any games at all. The phone is able to charge at 100 percent in less than an hour. 50 percent of it being filled up within just 20 minutes.
Final decision
For the cost of around 15,999 rupees for it's worth the price. Infinix Zero 20 provides a satisfactory smartphone experience. Except for a couple of flaws with its night photography , as well as the software bloatware, there's nothing to be unhappy about. The performance levels were a good match for normal use, and its 8GB memory. In fact, selfie lovers will definitely find this device enjoyable to use.
