Infinix Zero 8i


Infinix has launched a watered-down variant, Infinix Zero 8i alongside the Zero 8 in Pakistan. The new smartphone comes at a lesser price tag than the former while not compromising on specs like 90Hz display, 48MP cameras, and more.

From the official renders, looks like the Zero 8i has a similar gem-cut design, specifications, storage but differs in rear and front cameras. To be precise, it has a 6.85-inch FHD+ display similar to the Zero 8. It also retains the 180Hz touch sampling and 90Hz refresh rate which is first ever on an Infinix device. Under the hood, Mediatek Helio G90T powers the Zero 8i. This is paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage exactly like the Zero 8 and also has a MicroSD slot for expansion. Still, the difference lies in cameras.

The Infinix Zero 8i houses a 48MP instead of 64MP as the main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide, two 2MP depth and AI lenses, and an LED flash. On the front, the pill-shaped punch-hole features a 16MP instead of 48MP as the main sensor, and an 8MP ultra-wide lens for selfies. All this is backed up by a 4,500mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Other features include 10-layer heat dissipation cooling material, TUV Rheinland certification for high-performance gaming, Smart Turbo V1.0 acceleration engine.

The Infinix Zero 8i runs on Android 10 with XOS 7 UI on top. It comes in Black Diamond, Green Diamond, and Silver Diamond color options. The single 8GB RAM, 128GB storage is priced at PKR 34,999 (US$ 214) compared to PKR 39,999 (US$ 244) for Zero 8. Pre-orders will begin from October 11, and the device will be sold from October 15.
