Infinix officially launches the ZERO ULTRA, which charges from 0 to 100% in just 12 minutes thanks to 180W Thunder Charge
October 12, 2022 1:34 p.m.
The Infinix ZERO ULTRA boldly packs innovative and immersive features and a design that rival the more expensive smartphone brands and gives consumers value for their money. The phone lets you explore the world around you and your passions right here, right now, with zero limits–because life moves fast, and so should your smartphone.
Premium, flagship quality at a more accessible price
Designed for people with busy schedules but still make time to pursue their passions and indulge in their interests, the ZERO ULTRA boasts a first-of-its-kind 180W Thunder Charge smartphone, which charges the phone’s battery from 0 to 100% in just 12 minutes*. No more waiting for two hours to charge your phone when you have your personal projects to do and places to go. No more worrying about your momentum getting cut when you’re in the middle of shooting content, playing your favorite games, or connecting with friends and family.
The ZERO ULTRA lets you shoot photos and videos in dazzling and amazing quality thanks to its 200MP triple rear camera, which has the most powerful lens in its price range. Its front camera, meanwhile, takes stable, clear images at 32MP and steady motion videos.
Night selfies? No problem, it was designed for that too! Lacking inspiration? Just look at how your phone captures the details of your subjects, whether it’s the vein on leaves when you’re filming nature or tiny sand when you’re shooting on a beach at 10x zoom.
The smartphone is also one you can easily show off outside to turn heads and start conversations, as its 3D Curved 120Hz AMOLED display and innovative textured glass and star trail design make it not just a highly efficient phone, but a beautiful smartphone to carry around.
Finally, the ZERO ULTRA can also handle anything you throw at it, whether it’s the latest games or the most demanding apps. That’s because inside this sleek smartphone is a 6nm 5G processor and an 8+256GB extended RAM to 13GB, the latest XOS 12, and a super large VC cooling system.

From raffle to reality: Infinix GGWP winners get their gold
1:05 p.m. January 31, 2026
Infinix officially wrapped up its highly anticipated gaming-themed promo, Infinix GGWP: Get Gold With Phones, with a special awarding program held on January 23, 2026 at the Infinix Concept Store, SM North EDSA, where winners received their prizes alongside Infinix representatives.
The campaign’s grand finale was first marked by a live raffle draw on January 12, 2026, streamed on the brand’s official TikTok page, @infinixphilippines, announcing 50 lucky customers as the campaign’s champions.
The multi-week promotion rewarded Infinix customers with a rare and premium collectible: the Infinix x MPL Mythic Gold Coin, created in collaboration with the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL), one of the most influential esports leagues in the country. Each gold coin symbolizes achievement and victory, and is carefully packaged in a premium box with an official certificate of authenticity to ensure its collectible value.
Eligible participants included customers who purchased any Infinix NOTE 50 Series or GT 30 Series smartphone from November 22, 2025, to January 4, 2026, with each purchase automatically granting one raffle entry for a chance to win. Valued at approximately PHP 40,000, the gold coin serves as both a trophy and a testament to Infinix’s dedication to gaming culture and its growing community of mobile gamers.
The winners were later celebrated in an exclusive awarding program where they received their gold coins in person, alongside Infinix representatives who congratulated them on their victory. Jelly Buan, Infinix Marketing Manager, shared, “We are thrilled to celebrate our customers’ passion for gaming with the Infinix GGWP campaign. This awarding program allows us to personally thank our community and reward their loyalty in a way that is meaningful and memorable.”
Winners also expressed their excitement during the awarding, sharing their personal experiences and heartfelt appreciation for the prize.
For Marivic Alfonso, who purchased the NOTE 50 Series, the news of her win was nothing short of overwhelming. She recalled how her children were the first to deliver the surprise.
“I jumped for joy and cried when I found out from my kids that I was a winner,” she shared, still visibly emotional during the ceremony. Holding her Infinix x MPL Mythic Gold Coin, she added, “I’d like to thank Infinix for this. This will really help my children in their studies when the time comes.”
Christine Salaza, another NOTE 50 Series buyer, also had a story rooted in family and gratitude. She revealed that the phone she purchased was actually a thoughtful gift from her closest friend.
“I got the NOTE 50 as a gift from my best friend,” she said with a smile. Expressing what the win meant to her, Christine added, “Thank you Infinix, I can use this to help my parents.”
Meanwhile, first-time raffle winner Jennelyn Montecalvo, who bought the GT 30 Series, described how her partner’s love for gaming and Mobile Legends first drew her to the brand.
“Actually, my partner is really a fan of Infinix cause he likes to play MLBB, so he told me when he comes back from overseas he’ll really buy an Infinix phone,” she shared. Winning the gold coin was a moment she never expected. “Thank you so much Infinix, not only do I have a phone, but I also got a gold coin. And it’s my first time winning a raffle so I’m really grateful.”
For Edward Tan, who purchased four phones for himself and his family across the NOTE 50 and GT 30 Series, the GGWP campaign reaffirmed his trust in the brand’s promise of value and performance.
“Infinix Philippines continues to deliver high-quality smartphones at an affordable price,” Edward said. “Compared to the more expensive devices I used to buy, which often didn’t feel worth the cost, Infinix gives me exactly the performance and reliability I need without stretching my budget.”
The awarding ceremony drew an enthusiastic crowd, highlighting the excitement and joy of the winners as they received their Infinix x MPL Mythic Gold Coins. Events like this allow Infinix to connect personally with its community, reinforcing the brand’s presence in the mobile gaming space while blending technology, entertainment, and culture to reward customer loyalty in meaningful and memorable ways.
