The Infinix Zero 6 was unveiled back in March 2019. Avid users of this line of phones have been eagerly waiting for a successor since then. Fast forward 18 months and finally, we have a sequel to the Zero 6, not the Zero 7 but the Zero 8.

We have tabulated a detailed comparison of these two devices and you can check out that detailed breakdown in the appendix of this post. But first, let’s look at the obvious changes between these two devices.
Most notably, the display grows from 6.1-inches (on the Zero 6) to 6.85-inches on the newly released Zero 8. The Zero 8 also sports a 90Hz refresh-rate option.
The storage department also got a decent bump from a 6GB RAM +64GB ROM combo for the base model to 8GB RAM +128GB ROM for the Zero 6 and Zero 8 respectively. The Zero 8 is also a little chunkier than its predecessor, adding 27g from 178g to 205g.

Is the Zero 8 a worthy successor to the Zero 6? Well, the beefier chipset, the multiple cameras, the 90Hz refresh-rate are rather compelling reasons to get this device.
The Zero 8 is a complete upgrade over the Zero 6 in most metrics and so the wait has been more than worth it. However, the Infinix Zero 8 is not without competition. Realme 6,Tecno Camon 16 Premier, and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 9 devices are just some of the similarly priced offers in the market today.
