Geeks on a Budget is back this week to take a look at the rather controversial Infinix Zero 5 smartphone.

Infinix recently launched this locally and there was a bit of controversy with this phone from what I heard over my Facebook timeline. But enough of that, let’s take a look at the Infinix Zero 5 specs and see if this is worthy of being added to the budget line.
