Infinix Mobility launched its flagship smartphones for the year 2016, the Infinix Zero 4 (X574) and Infinix Zero 4 Plus following the success it recorded in the Infinix Zero series in the past year. These are the fourth generation members of the series, and both variants offer a massive upgrade to the Zero 3, their predecessor. The smartphones also come with a more powerful processor and a rear camera which has been upgraded with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS).

Conclusion – Infinix Zero 4 vs Infinix Zero 4 Plus
It is obvious that Infinix Mobility is deliberately trying to offer more in order to justify the word ‘Plus’ in the name of the Infinix Zero 4 Plus by upgrading some of the features that already come with the Zero 4, and this they have done impressively. It is therefore not surprising to see that the Zero 4 Plus costs more. I would totally go for the Zero 4 Plus without even thinking about the extra cost that comes with it.
So, which do you think is the best between the Infinix Zero 4 and Infinix Zero 4 Plus based on our comparison above?
