You've got to take a look at the Infinix ZERO ULTRA as you’ve never seen anything like this.

Infinix’s latest offering is quite surprising, it's the ZERO ULTRA. This phone revolutionizes the way you think about charging. It's got an industry-first 180W Thunder Charge, which can power up the phone from 0 to 100% at only 12 minutes.

How is that possible you say? It's from the Thunder Charge technology which is a real breakthrough in the smartphone industry. It lets the ZERO ULTRA charge fast—based on tests performed at the Infinix Labs, all you have to do is activate the Furious Mode charge setting via the “Battery Marathon” option found in the phone’s settings. Of course, you also have to use Infinix’s proprietary 180W charger and data cable, and the ideal room temperature should also be 25 degrees Celsius to get a full charge in 12 minutes.

The shortened waiting time for a full charge makes the ZERO ULTRA perfect for power users who are always on the go. There’s always something that needs to be done or you just want to keep enjoying your phone, and now you don’t have to stand by the wall for an hour while it gets to 100%.

There’s also no need to worry about any battery malfunctions or mishaps while using Thunder Charge, as the ZERO ULTRA has a total of 111 software and hardware security protection mechanisms that take care of the phone, battery, charger, and charging cable, as well as 20 thermal sensors all over the device. The ZERO ULTRA’s TÜV SÜD 36-Month Fluency Rating A certification also ensures that its battery’s quality stays the same after a long time.

For those who don’t need to charge the ZERO ULTRA too fast, the phone also comes with a standard charging mode, which lets it power up at its usual pace.

Beyond the Thunder Charge, the ZERO ULTRA also packs impressive flagship-quality features that rival other top-tier smartphone brands, all for a competitive price. It’s got a 200MP ultra resolution primary rear camera for crisp and clear photos and videos, a 6nm Dimensity 920 5G processor that lets you experience the blazing fast speeds of 5G mobile internet, a dazzling 3D curved 120Hz AMOLED display, and a beautiful and innovative textured glass and star trail design.

Experience the jolt of Thunder Charge for yourself now! The ZERO ULTRA is now available on the official Infinix store on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop for a suggested retail price of Php 21,999, and it’s currently available for a special Flash Sale price of Php 19,999.

Whether you’re running a quick errand, giving a virtual presentation at work, or waiting on your car to go through the car wash, the new Buds 4 Pro and Redmi Buds 4 wireless earbuds are great for staying connected.

Both give you complete freedom of movement and make multi-tasking on the go seamless, smooth and safe. They also look absolutely dapper, featuring lightweight and innovative design with curved edges.

The Buds 4 Pro and Redmi Buds 4 Plus  will go on sale for a limited time from October 22 to 28. Buyers may avail of up to P500 discount when they purchase these earbuds at official Xiaomi stores and retailers.

Premium sound quality

Redmi Buds 4 Pro features an all-new dual dynamic driver system (10mm+6mm diaphragms), which combine to give you crystal-clear treble and rich bass in a wide range of genres. Similarly, the large dynamic driver unit on the Redmi Buds 4 (10mm ultra-thin diaphragm) makes the voice sound crisper, the lower frequencies fuller and the treble brighter. 

Both earbuds have built-in immersive sound features for an enhanced experience. The Redmi Buds 4 Pro positions the sound around the users and provides them with a true-to-life audio experience. This feature allows the users to indulge in content, enhancing focus during meetings and leveling-up enjoyment when watching videos.

Active noise cancellation

The Redmi Buds 4 Pro offers up to 43dB hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) with 30-3000Hz wide frequency range. This means even sounds such as keyboard typing and vehicle horns are mostly covered, giving you quality quiet time for productive thinking or unobstructed focus while on a business call.

Users may manually choose between three ANC modes (light, balanced and deep) for which works best for them or use the Adaptive Mode, which detects ambient noise and auto-selects the most suitable noise cancellation level.

The Redmi Buds 4, meanwhile, offers up to 35dB hybrid ANC to block out noise. The feed-forward and feedback microphones work together to effectively separate background noise, making it ideal to use outdoors as well as indoors.

Users also enjoy 3 ANC level options and an adaptive ANC mode to manage noise.

Both the Redmi Buds 4 and Redmi Buds 4 Pro are equipped with AI voice features that accurately differentiate human voice and ambient noise. This means even in the noisy environments, the listener will hear every word you say, loud and clear.

Long-lasting battery life

The Redmi Buds 4 Pro can run up to 9 straight hours on a full charge, or up to 36 hours when used with the charging case. At the end of a busy day, you can run a marathon with your favorite music on or kill time at a café catching up on your favorite Netflix series while waiting for the rain or road traffic to subside. In case you forgot to recharge and you're in a hurry, a quick 5-minute charge yields you up to two  hours worth of playing music.

The Redmi Buds 4, meanwhile, offers up to 6 hours of battery life on a single charge and up to 30 hours when paired with a charging case. That’s more than enough to enjoy great non-stop music to accompany you on a busy day. Fast charge is also supported, with 5 minutes of charging giving you up to 1 hour of listening enjoyment.

Great connectivity

 

The Redmi Buds 4 Pro can connect to two Android, iOS or Windows devices at the same time. This allows you to switch effortlessly between your smartphone and laptop, thus saving you time.

On compatible devices, both the Redmi Buds 4 Pro and the Redmi Buds 4 are so easy to set up for quick pairing. All you need to do is to open the charging case near the smartphone or other compatible device and tap on the screen once the pop-up window appears.

During the promo period, Redmi Buds 4 Pro is available for only Promo Price: Php 3,499 (down from its regular price of Php 3,999), while the Redmi Buds 4 is available at a discounted price of only Php 2,199 (down from Php 2,499).
