Infinix ZERO 40: tailor-made for vlogging

Phones have had cameras for a long time, but few have made such strides in professional mobile vlogging capabilities as the Infinix ZERO 40 5G. It’s the only smartphone in its class where all front and rear cameras can record video at 4K resolution at a frame rate of 60 frames per second, using the company’s ProStable technology to achieve smooth, professional-looking results with optical and electronic image stabilization.

The cameras are high-resolution too. The ultra-wide-angle cameras on the front and back feature 50MP sensors, while the main wide-angle lens on the back sits on a pixel-dense 108MP unit, which is big for a smartphone sensor in this class. They all use phase-detection autofocus to keep your photos and videos sharp, and there’s a triple-LED flash to light up moody nighttime shots.

The Infinix ZERO 40 5G features a 6.78-inch 3D curved 10-bit AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2436 that can display 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut preferred by videographers. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, and its 1300 nits peak brightness lets you see what’s going on even outdoors or under strong studio lighting.

The power to perform

Powering the whole thing is the Mediatek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset, an eight-core SoC that offers one extra-fast core with three slightly more power-efficient units, and four more efficient cores that handle the background work without putting too much strain on the 5,000mAh battery. There’s 12GB of RAM as standard, with the option to use 24GB of extended RAM, and up to 512GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage to store all your video files. Wireless connectivity comes in the form of speedy Wi-Fi 6E, so you’ll have a smooth connection in an online video meeting, and you’ll be able to upload and edit your vlogging footage in the cloud faster.

The Infinix ZERO 40 5G has more camera enhancements built into it that make vlogging easier, no matter what you want to record. Enabling HDR lets you adjust the video image in real-time, avoiding scenes that are too dark or too bright. Dual camera recording lets you film an event while adding your own commentary. There are also creative settings to try out, such as long exposure mode to create light trails or video portrait bokeh to blur the background when speaking into the camera and really make your subject stand out. Three built-in microphones also enable precise directional pickup of sound, as well as effective noise reduction.

Infinix’s unique four-step blogging process starts with the AI ​​voice assistant Folax. It helps translate your ideas and draft scripts so you can start your vlogging session off on the best note possible. Step two is the recording itself, which is where the ZERO 40’s powerful camera array comes into its own. Step three is post-production, which is now easier than ever thanks to AI and ready-made templates on the Infinix ZERO 40. The final step is broadcasting, with a one-tap share feature that allows users to quickly post their finished vlogs to social platforms.

The Infinix ZERO 40 integrates AI into nearly every step of the content creation process, with an AI camera shutter that intelligently adjusts shutter speed based on motion detection, an AI eraser that can instantly remove unwanted objects from photos with a simple swipe, a one-tap cutout feature that can easily cut out the highlights from an image and turn them into stickers or standalone images that can be easily saved and shared. Then there’s the smart image search that finds the photo you want in a crowded album of shots by recognizing search terms.

Works with GoPro and AI

And if action cameras are more your thing, Infinix has partnered with GoPro to create a seamless technology fusion. This means you can adjust the settings of a connected GoPro through the ZERO 40’s camera app without having to use a third-party app.

And of course, this wouldn’t be a 2024 smartphone without some sort of AI integration, and the ZERO 40 uses it to boost your creativity. You can put the finishing touches to your vlogs by tapping a button and choosing a template before the AI ​​automatically identifies the highlights of your video and creates an exceptional final result. AI is present in the Raw HDR recording mode, where it’s used to restore color and detail in images that may be washed out or blurry, such as low-light shots, where the adjustable flash intensity and Super Night mode ensure highlights and shadows don’t dominate the image.

“Developing the perfect camera and features for vlogging is one of the most important trends in smartphone development today. With this in mind, we have developed a flagship smartphone equipped with 4K ProStable video recording on the front and rear. Our goal is to take smartphone video recording to a professional level and enable everyone to become the cameraman of their own life,” says Weiqi Nie, Product Director at Infinix.

The Infinix ZERO 40 is available in a range of colours including Violet Garden, developed in collaboration with WGSN, the world’s leading consumer trend forecaster. This exclusive colour scheme captures the essence of violets blooming in the morning light, fresh from the dew, and symbolises the start of a new day and the promise of hope. It’s almost a shame to keep it in a protective case. Other colours include Moving Titanium and Rock Black.

The ultra-slim Infinix ZERO 40 also features design cues more commonly found on flagship phones, with a classic linear design language and a curved step ring design around the rear camera cluster. Its aesthetics provide visual balance and evenly distributed weight, while the curved screen edges provide a comfortable grip and perfect hand feel.

Founded in 2013, Infinix is ​​a technology brand that offers cutting-edge technology, stylish design and outstanding performance. With the ZERO 40 range of smartphones, the company has developed a phone with features ideal for vlogging and other creative uses, while remaining slim, lightweight and attractive. The future is already here.
