Infinix Zero Flip review

GSMArena Team, 20 December 2024.

Software and benchmarks

The Zero Flip runs Android 14 out of the box - not a great start. Infinix only promises two OS version upgrades, so you won't be getting past Android 16 - it's not getting better. If Infinix would provide three major OS updates, or if the Zero Flip started at Android 15, we might have been inclined to give it a pass, but 14+2 doesn't make for a rosy software future.

There's an in-house layer of XOS on top of the Android 14 core, with the version labeled 14.5. They all tend to look the same these days, but we're seeing a particular resemblance to the Origin OS-based vivos.

XOS on the Infinix Zero Flip

The cover screen can be used for more than just notifications and camera viewfinder - you can have fully functional Google Maps and Gmail on there, with a decently usable keyboard typing experience too.

Cover screen UI

The Zero Flip is powered by the Dimensity 8020 chipset, a reasonably capable 6nm Mediatek chip that won't be winning any performance contests, but should keep you happy in day to day action. It's a notable step up from the Razr 50 in terms of GPU scores, though it's slightly behind in CPU power. The Galaxies are way more powerful, of course.

As expected from a relatively underpowered SoC, the performance graphs under sustained load are very stable.

I still don’t understand the significance of foldable phones. No matter how the manufacturers promote it, the creases are obvious after using it for a week.
