Infinix Zero 5G 2023, Note 12i 2022 and Zero Book Ultra


Infinix has partnered with Flipkart to launch two phones and a laptop in India this month. These are not new models, rather this is an expansion of current devices to a new market.

The revamped Infinix Zero 5G 2023 launched in December with a retail price of US$ 240, though the company noted that this will vary by region. Compared to the original, the 2023 release upgrades to a Dimensity 1080 chipset (up from Dimensity 900) and swaps out the main camera sensor for a 50MP unit. However, it lost the 13MP 50mm tele camera. The original Zero 5G has an MSRP in India of ₹ 25,000 but can now be found at ₹ 20,000 (which is close to the US$ 240 guidance).

The second phone is another revamp, the Infinix Note 12i 2022. This one swapped the 6.82” HD+ LCD of the original for a 6.7” FHD+ AMOLED display (both 90Hz) and reduced the dimensions slightly but left most other features unchanged. While the original 12i never made it to India, the Note 11 is similar enough (save for the Chipset – Helio G88 vs. G85), so we can look at its pricing - ₹ 15,000 MSRP, currently available for ₹ 12,500.

The third product is a high-power ultrabook – the Infinix Zero Book Ultra. It runs a 12th generation Intel Core i9 and has a physical “Overboost” toggle, plus a dual fan solution to keep it cool. The laptop can be configured with up to 32GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. It has a 15.6” 1080p display with 100% sRGB coverage and a 70Wh battery. The whole thing tips the scales at 1.8kg and measures 17mm thick.

The exact launch date for the two phones and the laptop should be confirmed in the coming days, ditto for the prices.
