Hong Kong-based Infinix Mobile has just intensified the competition in the budget-friendly premium smartphone segment with the launch of the new Infinix Zero 5 and Zero 5 Pro on Tuesday.
The latest Infinix Zero 5 series has left no stone unturned to impress buyers with an attractive package of specs offered for an aggressive price tag. The due is one of the very few smartphones to come with 6GB RAM while being priced under Rs. 20,000.
