Zenless Zone Zero is the latest launch from miHoYo, the developer behind the popular gacha game Genshin Impact. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic city where monsters called Ethereals walk the dimensions known as Hollow. It features several new characters and a unique combat system.
However, like previous miHoYo games, which are notoriously known for their power-hungry nature, Zenless Zone Zero also puts a toll on your device. It is comparatively less power-hungry than Genshin Impact but still requires a good set of graphics and processors to run without lags. miHoYo has worked extensively on optimizing this game to make it playable on all platforms.
So this time around, you can even play this game on budget phones. A decent set of processors and graphics can easily run the game above 60 FPS. This listicle covers the five best budget phones available on the market that are well-equipped to run Zenless Zone Zero.
