However, if you prefer glossy finish with minimalist design, this might not be an issue for you.

But it was the design and look of the smartphone which won me over. Although it does not have a glass rear, it looks just as stunning. The Infinix Zero 5G comes with a unicurve design which means it does not have any hard edges. The design is not very
