The world of foldable phones was once reserved for those willing to spend a significant amount, but that’s no longer the case. Last year, Motorola and Tecno were among the first to introduce affordable clamshell foldable phones in India, and this year, Infinix has joined the fray. In October, Infinix launched its first foldable phone in the country – the

The ultrawide camera also works well in daylight conditions with good detail and sharpness. The colours are slightly different from the primary camera, but the dynamic range is good.

The primary camera holds up well in low-light conditions, with photos offering decent details and dynamic range. However, you’ll find plenty of noise, especially if shooting indoors. A Super Night mode is also available, but I didn’t notice any major differences when using this mode apart from better shadows. 2x photos in low-light aren’t great and have a muddy appearance to them.

The Ultrawide also doesn’t perform well in low-light. Its images are less detailed, soft, and noisy.
Moving on to the selfie camera, which gets its own slit flash, does a good job in daylight conditions. However, it’s just better to use the outer camera for selfies, which produces much better results.
As for the video performance, the Zero Flip can shoot at 4K 30fps from the outer cameras, but the internal selfie can also do 4K 60fps. However, neither modes support the stabilisation, which is only available in 1080p 30fps. The video output from the main camera is quite good in daylight conditions with pretty accurate colour output and dynamic range, but you’ll find some noise and artefacts around the edges.
Low-light video performance of the primary camera is also not bad, but there needs to be plenty of lighting for the video to have good details. The ultrawide camera records slightly softer and less detailed video, which dips in low-light scenarios.
Infinix Zero Flip Battery: It’s large
- Capacity – 4,720mAh
- Charging speed – 70W
- Charger – 70W included in box
The Infinix Zero Flip comes with a battery that’s much larger than that of more expensive phones, such as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Motorola Razr 50. I expected the battery to last much longer than the Razr 50, which, in our review, managed around 25 hours in the HD video loop test. However, the Zero Flip only managed to last about 15h 30m. This is with the refresh rate set to 120Hz and brightness at 50 percent with Airplane mode enabled.
The phone comes with a 70W fast charger in the box
Outside our test, the phone did manage to last a full day of regular usage, with about 20 percent of the battery left at the end. To top up the battery, Infinix provides a 70W charger in the box. In my tests, I was able to charge the phone from 0 to 100 percent in about 55 mins and about 60 percent in 30 mins.
Infinix Zero Flip Verdict
The verdict is simple. You can’t buy a better flip phone at this price that offers the same amount of features. The Infinix Zero Flip provides a large, mostly usable cover screen, good cameras, a large battery that easily lasts a day, and decent performance. If you don’t mind the trade-offs, the Zero Flip is an affordable flex.
The closest competitor is the Motorola Razr 50 (Review), which is slightly more expensive, has a smaller battery, a less powerful chipset, and similar camera performance. Then there’s the newly launched Tecno Phantom V Flip 2, which is cheaper but comes with a bunch of downgrades. I would like to also include the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Review), which offers better performance, an IP rating, and better hardware, but at almost twice the price.
