Top to bottom: 3 x Main Camera; 3 x Ultrawide [Tap to Expand]
Photos taken using the primary rear camera in lowlight conditions bring in some noise, but it’s definitely usable. Ultrawide camera performance in the dark is average at best, has more noise than the main, and is once again plagued by colour inaccuracy.

There’s also a 3x mode, but it’s only a zoomed-in crop, and is mostly a miss. Portrait photos are average, with the bokeh looking fake most of the time.
Infinix Zero 40 Battery: Average
- Capacity – 5,000mAh
- Fast charging – 45W wired, 20W wireless
- Charger – Included, MagCase
Infinix has equipped the Zero 40 5G with a sizable 5,000mAh battery, but it’s average in terms of battery life. While it lasted over a day with regular use, it underperformed in our HD video loop test. With the brightness at 50 percent and the refresh rate set to 144Hz, the battery drained in just about 14 hours. However, you can extend the battery life by enabling adaptive brightness and switching the refresh rate to 120Hz.
You get a MagCase in the box
Charging the phone is fast, thanks to the included 45W charger. A full charge from 0 to 100 percent took about 1 hour and 10 minutes, which is decent. The phone also supports wireless charging at 20W.
Infinix Zero 40 Verdict
The Infinix Zero 40 5G is a good choice if you’re on the lookout for a mid-range phone that offers good design, a good set of cameras that you’ll mostly use in the day, good gaming performance, decent battery life, and a nice big curved display with fast refresh rate. If you’re looking for a phone for vlogging, this is not the one.
In terms of alternatives in the same price range, you can try the Motorola Edge 50 Pro (Review), iQOO Z9s Pro (Review), or the Nothing Phone 2a Plus (Review). All of these have their own advantages and disadvantages, so we’d recommend reading the reviews before making a decision.
