Meet the Infinix ZERO 30 5G: A Powerhouse for Vlogging at CES 2024
CES 2024 is host to a huge range of exciting electronics set to enter the market, and for vloggers looking to get great value, the Infinix ZERO 30 5G smartphone stands out. This model from Infinix comes in at a lower price than the typical flagship smartphone, but it brings a bunch of high-end features you’d normally expect to pay upwards of $800 to get.
Chief among those features is the selfie camera: This 50MP shooter isn’t just geared up for snapping extra crisp photos. It’s also capable of recording video at 4K 60fps, letting you vlog with extremely high visual clarity. Beyond the sharpness and smoothness this provides, it opens the door to more creative post-production edits. Slow-motion or zoom jump cuts now won’t suffer from jerky motion or a low resolution. A front-facing flash can help you illuminate your shots, and phase detection auto-focus helps keep your subject in focus.
While vlogging, you might not always be recording yourself. When you want to show what you see, the Infinix ZERO 30 5G has a 108MP rear camera. This camera offers optical and electronic image stabilization for video to help you make that 4K 60fps as clear as can be. To top it off, the ZERO 30 5G even supports a Dual Video mode to capture footage from the front and rear cameras at the same time—great for those moments when capturing what’s happening in front of you is just as important as your reaction to it. The rear also packs a 13MP ultra-wide camera to fit multiple subjects or captivating landscapes into the shot.
A quality camera ought to have a quality viewfinder so you can get a better sense of what you’re capturing. To that end, the Infinix ZERO 30 5G includes a 6.78-inch display to really let you get a large look at what you’re shooting, and the AMOLED panel used in it displays the DCI-P3 wide color gamut for more lifelike visuals.
With the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset inside the Infinix ZERO 30 5G, you not only get the speedy processing required for 4K 60fps video capture but also handy 5G connectivity. Whether you’re going live or trying to upload your footage, the extra bandwidth, strong connectivity, and reduced latency of that 5G connection can be a gamechanger.
A vacuum chamber liquid cooler inside works to keep the processor cool while recording video so you can shoot comfortably for longer. To let you better keep up with your vlogging workflow, the ZERO 30 5G comes packed with up to 21GB of RAM. With that much memory, you’ll be able to keep more apps up and running in the background while switching back and forth between them and the camera app. The phone also includes 256GB of storage to hold all your video, though you can always offload to external storage with USB OTG.
Image quality may be one of the chief concerns of vloggers, but battery life is also critical. Infinix has you covered with the ZERO 30 5G. Not only is the 5,000mAh battery a substantial unit for long runtimes, but when you need to top it off, the phone supports 68W fast charging to go from empty to 80% charged in 30 minutes.
It’s a pretty neat confluence of features making the Infinix ZERO 30 5G an impressive option for vloggers and even just everyday users who might want an upgrade for capturing life’s special moments. A chunk of the excitement for this phone comes from its price, though, which is well below $400. It also doesn’t hurt that the phone is just darn gorgeous.
