Infinix Mobility has finally revealed its new mobile phone yesterday after months of hype and speculation.
The global unveiling of the Zero 5, Infinix’s latest flagship model, took place in Dubai in partnership with local e-commerce giant Souq.com. The ecommerce site will stock the phone for its White Friday Sale (Nov 22-25).
The two versions will be priced at AED 999 for the 64GB+6GB model and AED 1199 for the 128 GB+6GB model.
Over 150 customers and VIPs flew in for the glamorous event from countries including India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya and South East Asia.
Speaking on stage at the event, Global Head of Infinix, Benjamin Jiang, said: “It is our pleasure to choose Dubai as the city where we will unveil the Zero 5. The Zero series has been our flagship product globally by virtue of its innovative features, which validates our R&D prowess. It has witnessed brilliant performance in key global markets such as the Middle East, Africa and South-East Asia.”
The Infinix Zero 5 comes with a dual camera setup and 2x optical zoom. Using Android’s Nougat operating platform, the Zero 5 boasts an optical Zoom Dual camera and massive 16 MP front-facing camera, rear fingerprint scanner and protective screen features.
The Zero 5’s rear dual camera uses both a 12 MP wide-angle lens and a 13 MP telephoto lens, with a 2x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom, and an f/2.0 aperture. There is also a special Portrait Master Mode that uses an RGBW sensor and multi-frame noise reduction technology to assist users in capturing the perfect hero shot.
At the event, Infinix also launched its latest pair of headphones: The Quiet X. The over-ear active noise-cancelling headphones were unveiled alongside their Zero 5 sibling and were demoed by those in attendance. The Quiet X connects through CSR Bluetooth 4.2 and boasts a battery life of more than 25 hours. Coming in colour options of black or silver, they use aluminum rechargeable batteries and weigh just 260 grams.
