Infinix Zero 20
- Faster initial charging speed (0-75% in 30 mins)
- Potentially slightly better single-core CPU performance
- Sleek and modern design (inferred from brand positioning)
- Battery capacity is unknown, potentially smaller than Poco X4 Pro 5G
- Limited details on camera specifications
Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G
- Longer battery life (119h endurance rating)
- Qualcomm 5G modem for potentially more stable connectivity
- Supports PD3.0 and QC3 fast charging standards
- Slower charging speed compared to Infinix Zero 20 (0-70% in 22 mins)
- Snapdragon 695 may offer less peak CPU performance
Display Comparison
Both the Infinix Zero 20 and Poco X4 Pro 5G feature displays with an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, suggesting both utilize AMOLED panels. However, detailed specifications like peak brightness, color gamut coverage, and refresh rates are missing. Given the market positioning, we can infer both likely target FHD+ resolution. The absence of LTPO technology suggests neither display will dynamically adjust refresh rates for power saving. Bezels are likely comparable, focusing on maximizing screen real estate within their respective price brackets.
Camera Comparison
Both devices advertise photo and video capabilities, but lack specific details. Without sensor size information, it’s difficult to assess image quality potential. The absence of details regarding Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) suggests neither phone prioritizes advanced stabilization. Lens apertures are also unknown, impacting low-light performance. The focus should be on real-world image samples to determine which phone delivers more pleasing results. The prevalence of 2MP macro lenses in this segment suggests both phones likely include one, but these are generally of limited utility.
Performance
The core of the performance difference lies in the chipsets. The Infinix Zero 20’s MediaTek Helio G99 (6nm) and the Poco X4 Pro 5G’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm) are both 6nm-based, indicating similar power efficiency. However, the Helio G99 utilizes two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.2GHz, while the Snapdragon 695 employs Kryo 660 Gold cores at the same speed. While clock speeds are similar, the Cortex-A76 architecture generally offers a slight edge in single-core performance. The Snapdragon 695 benefits from Qualcomm’s integrated 5G modem, potentially offering more stable and faster 5G connectivity. Both phones are paired with an unspecified amount of RAM, but LPDDR5 or LPDDR4X would be typical for this segment, impacting multitasking responsiveness.
Battery Life
The Poco X4 Pro 5G boasts an endurance rating of 119 hours, indicating a larger battery capacity optimized for longevity. While the Infinix Zero 20’s battery capacity is unspecified, its 45W wired charging is a key differentiator. The Poco X4 Pro 5G supports 67W charging with PD3.0 and QC3, reaching 70% in 22 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes. However, the Zero 20 claims 75% charge in just 30 minutes, suggesting a faster initial charging curve, even with lower peak wattage. This makes the Zero 20 ideal for quick top-ups, while the Poco X4 Pro 5G excels at lasting a full day on a single charge.
Buying Guide
Buy the Infinix Zero 20 if you need a stylish phone with exceptionally fast partial charging – ideal for those who frequently top up their battery throughout the day. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G if you prioritize extended battery life and are willing to trade some charging speed for it. The Poco X4 Pro 5G is also a better choice for users who heavily rely on 5G connectivity and want a proven Qualcomm chipset.
