Normally, Infinix does not reveal its Android update roadmaps publicly. The brand is also not known for bringing speedy software updates. The Zero 5G is, however, an exception as Infinix seems to attract customers through the new model that debuted as its first 5G phone.

Unlike Infinix, vendors including Vivo and Realme have started bringing Android 12 out-of-the-box on their new smartphones in the market. Companies such as OnePlus and Samsung have also started releasing the latest Android update for their models.
