Infinix launched the ZERO Flip, the brand’s first-ever clamshell-style foldable smartphone. This device comes packed with exciting features that put it in competition with leading models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Motorola Razr 2024, Oppo Find N3 Flip, TECNO Phantom V Flip 2, and Xiaomi Mix Flip.
But the real question is: Should you buy the Infinix ZERO Flip, and is it worth the investment?
There are several factors to consider before picking a foldable smartphone. Also, many still view foldable phones as lacking a clear or well-defined purpose. However, I will give you ten reasons why the Infinix ZERO Flip is worth your money and why you should flip over to the Infinix side.
In this breakdown, the first five reasons will compare the ZERO Flip with top flip phones currently on the market, while the remaining five will highlight the practical advantages unique to the Infinix ZERO Flip, showing why it’s a great value for your money.
1. The Best Budget-Friendly Flip Phone on the Market
Price is one of the significant factors that come to mind before you purchase a new smartphone, and Infinix did well in that area while squeezing in competitive specs on the ZERO Flip.
Not only does the ZERO Flip cost less, but it is also currently the best budget flip phone on the market.
Here’s a breakdown of the top clamshell-style foldable smartphones on the market in 2024:
Price Comparisons of The Top Flip Phones in 2024 | ||
---|---|---|
S/N | Brand | Starting Price |
1 | Infinix ZERO Flip | $600 |
2 | TECNO Phantom V Flip 2 | $699 |
3 | Motorola Razr 2024 | $699 |
4 | Oppo Find N3 Flip | $849 |
5 | Xiaomi Mix Flip | $1,099 |
6 | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 | $1,099 |
With a $6oo retail price, the Infinix ZERO Flip is an excellent example of a foldable phone that doesn’t require you to break the bank. You might not get some fancy cameras or processors on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, but the Infinix ZERO Flip doesn’t fall behind in performance either.
Users get to enjoy high-quality images on both the front and rear cameras alongside an impressive MediaTek Dimensity 8030 chipset. When it comes to the ZERO Flip, affordability doesn’t mean low quality.
2. Bigger Battery
Gone are the days when flip phones suffered heavily from poor batteries. Today, the Infinix ZERO Flip has one of the biggest batteries seen on a flip phone. This means you can use your smartphone more and charge it less.
More time also means peace of mind, given that you can be assured of longer battery life when out in the outdoors.
Let’s compare the battery sizes of the top clamshell phones out there.
Infinix ZERO Flip Battery vs Other Flip Phones | ||
---|---|---|
S/N | Brand | Battery Size |
1 | Infinix ZERO Flip | 4,720 mAh |
2 | TECNO Phantom V Flip 2 | 4,720 mAh |
3 | Motorola Razr 2024 | 4,200 mAh |
4 | Oppo Find N3 Flip | 4,300 mAh |
5 | Xiaomi Mix Flip | 4,780 mAh |
6 | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 | 4,000 mAh |
Equipped with a 4,720 mAh battery, the Infinix ZERO Flip beats the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (4,000 mAh), Oppo Find N3 Flip (4,300 mAh), and Motorola Razr 2024 (4,200 mAh).
However, the Xiaomi Mix Flip edges it with its 4,780 mAh battery, a 60 mAh difference that costs $499.
3. Super Fast Charging Speed
How long does it take to charge your flip phone? In addition to a great battery, Infinix saw the need to give the ZERO Flip a monstrous 70W Super Charge capability, the biggest on any flip phone as of this writing.
The 70W can charge the ZERO Flip up to 50% in just 15 minutes, just the time needed to bath and dress up for any outing.
Let’s compare and see what other top clamshell phones are offering:
Infinix ZERO Flip Charging Speed vs Other Flip Phones | ||
---|---|---|
S/N | Brands | Charging Speed |
1 | Infinix ZERO Flip | 70W Wired Charge |
2 | TECNO Phantom V Flip 2 | 70W Wired Charge |
3 | Motorola Razr 2024 | 30W Wired Charge |
4 | Oppo Find N3 Flip | 44W Wired Charge |
5 | Xiaomi Mix Flip | 67W Wired Charge |
6 | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 | 25W Wired Charge |
The Infinix ZERO Flip and TECNO Phantom V Flip top the chart with 70W Super Charge, beating the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, which remains stuck at 25W, Motorola Razr 2024 30W, Xiaomi Mix Flip 67W, and Oppo Find N3 Flip’s 44W.
Here’s another reason why premium price tags don’t always put you ahead or reflect a premium experience in every way.

4. Bigger Cover Display
The Infinix ZERO Flip offers a 3.64-inch cover screen display with a 120Hz Refresh, one of the biggest cover screens on a flip phone and a key selling point.
Infinix didn’t compromise on the cover display and gave it a 413 ppi pixel density, the same on the internal display. This simply means that users won’t feel any quality drop in videos or images when they switch between the two screens.
Here are some other things that can be done on the big cover display of the Infinix ZERO Flip:
- Quick Access to Notifications: View and manage notifications, texts, and emails.
- Control Music Playback: Play, pause, and skip music tracks directly from the cover screen.
- Quick Reply to Messages: Quick responses or voice typing to respond to messages.
- Camera Preview and Selfies: Use the external display as a viewfinder to capture selfies or preview photos with the main camera.
- Access to Apps: Quick access to essential apps like the weather, calendar, fitness tracker, etc.
- Navigation and Maps: Check directions on the go, with turn-by-turn navigation available right from the cover display.
- Phone Calls: Answer or reject calls directly from the cover display.
- Widgets and Customization: You can customize widgets for quick tasks, such as controlling smart home devices or checking your schedule.
- Quick Camera Settings: You can adjust camera modes, switch between video and photo modes, and more, all from the cover screen.
- Multitasking Shortcuts: Switch between recently used apps without fully opening the phone, offering convenience for users on the move.
5. Large Internal Storage
Infinix generously gave the ZERO Flip a hefty 512 GB internal storage, the best and biggest offering on the market for a $600 foldable phone.
Let’s compare the Infinix ZERO Flip storage to offerings from other top phone brands.
Infinix ZERO Flip Internal Storage vs Other Flip Phones | ||
---|---|---|
S/N | Brands | Internal Storage |
1 | Infinix ZERO Flip | 512GB retails for $600 |
2 | TECNO Phantom V Flip 2 | 256GB retails for $699 |
3 | Motorola Razr 2024 | 128GB retails for $699 |
4 | Oppo Find N3 Flip | 512GB retails for $849 |
5 | Xiaomi Mix Flip | 256GB retails for $1,099 |
6 | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 | 256GB retails for $1,099 |
$600 will get you 512 GB of storage on the Infinix ZERO Flip, which is far more than what you will get on the much pricier Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Oppo Find N3, Motorola Razr 2024, or Xiaomi Mix Flip.
6. A.I Powered Features
The Infinix ZERO Flip is packed with AI-friendly features designed to enhance the phone’s user experience. Powered by Folax, Infinix AI, the smart assistant can play music, make phone calls, and perform other tasks at your command.
The camera department is also influenced by AI with features that assist in good photography and as well video capabilities. Whenever you take pictures with unwanted people or items in it, AI Eraser helps to you magically erase them.
You can also cut out any part of a photo that you want or even create emoticons out of it. Infinix AI also made it easy for users to find any photo even in crowded albums by describing what they are looking for.
There’s also the AI feature for noise reduction for superior audio quality and JBL Joint Tuning for optimized sound performance.
In addition, there’s Google’s artificial intelligence chatbot (Google Gemini) onboard the ZERO Flip to assist with translations, responses to queries, trip planning, recipe search, content summarisation and more.
7. Multitasking
Multitasking functionalities can be performed on your regular slab phone. However, the Infinix ZERO Flip, due to its foldable design, offers multitasking features that are exclusive to clamshell-styled phones.
Here are a few examples:
Split-Screen Mode:
This feature allows you to run two applications at the same time, with one at the top and the second at the bottom of the unfolded screen. This way, you can reply to messages in the lower section while the other half displays content.
Dual App Interaction:
Flip phones allow you to run one application on two split screens while interacting with it simultaneously. For example, a video can be played on the top screen while the bottom screen displays the comment section or controls.
App Continuity Across Displays:
The Infinix ZERO Flip allows for smooth app continuity between the cover screen and internal display. For example, you can click on a WhatsApp notification on the cover screen, and it will instantly transition to the internal screen the moment you flip or unfold the phone. The same goes for all other apps, too.
Flex Mode:
Flex mode allows hands-free use of the Infinix ZERO Flip. The phone’s hinged design allows it to be placed in a partially folded position (L shape) without needing a stand. This allows you to perform hands-free tasks such as watching movies, video calling, taking selfies, etc.
8. Better Camera Angles
The Infinix ZERO Flip’s outer cover sports a dual-camera setup: a 50MP (wide) primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 50MP (ultrawide) sensor. And then there’s a 50MP selfie camera on the phone’s main display.
Given the flip’s flexibility, the hinge design allows for unique camera angles for taking selfies, group hands-free photos, vlogging, video calls, or even content creation.
For first-time users, the Infinix ZERO Flip offers many new experiences.
9. Compact Design
The Infinix ZERO Flip is portable and folds easily into pockets, small bags, or purses, making it very convenient to carry around. It also takes up very little space compared to your regular smartphone.
10. Software Support
Infinix offers the ZERO Flip two years of Android updates and three years of security patches. That is, you will get the XOS 15 and XOS 16 Android-based updates, followed by the security patches until 2027
This means you will get official support for this device for three years, which is okay for some but isn’t enough for others. For a $600 flip phone with all the above features, I think it ticks the box.
