{{Zerra Halo models}}

The '''Zerra Halo X''' is a smartphone developed and marketed by [[Zerra Technologies]]. Announced on November 3, 2017, as a tenth-anniversary edition device, it introduced the first major design overhaul of the Halo series since its inception, replacing the physical home button and Z-Key sensor with an edge-to-edge "Infinity" OLED display and facial recognition system called HaloID. It succeeded the [[Zerra Halo 6]] and was later followed by the [[Zerra Halo 12]].

== History ==
The Halo X was designed as a symbolic “future flagship,” celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Halo brand. Development began in 2015, focusing on removing bezels and physical buttons, which had been a hallmark of prior models. It marked Zerra’s entry into OLED technology for its premium models and the removal of the Z-Key fingerprint sensor in favor of HaloID facial authentication.

The device launched with [[ZerraOS 7]] and received updates through [[ZerraOS 10]], making it one of the longest-supported Zerra devices at the time.

== Design ==
The Halo X was the first Halo to adopt a nearly bezel-less design, with curved glass and an aluminum chassis. Its 5.8-inch Eclipse Infinity OLED display stretched across the front with only a small notch at the top housing the front camera and HaloID sensors.

It shipped in three colors: Obsidian, Silver Mist, and Crimson Flame.

== Specifications ==
=== Hardware ===
The phone used the Z-Core Edge SoC with 4 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage, the highest capacity offered on a Zerra phone at the time. Its 3,600 mAh battery supported Z-Port 2 fast charging and 5 W Qi wireless charging.

=== Display ===
The {{convert|5.8|in}} Eclipse Infinity OLED display delivered HDR10 support and a resolution of 2436×1125, at 458 ppi.

=== Cameras ===
The Halo X introduced a dual-camera system with a 16 MP wide lens and a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2× optical zoom. Portrait photography was marketed as a major feature, with improved computational bokeh effects powered by the Z-Core Edge’s image processor.

=== Software ===
The Halo X shipped with [[ZerraOS 7]], which supported gesture-based navigation replacing the traditional home button. Later updates brought enhanced multitasking, Zerra Cloud integration, and expanded AI photography features.

== Reception ==
The Halo X was praised for its design overhaul, high-quality OLED display, and forward-looking HaloID system. Reviewers described it as the “most futuristic Halo yet.” Criticism was aimed at its high launch price and the removal of the Z-Key fingerprint scanner, which some users preferred over facial authentication. Nevertheless, the Halo X sold strongly, cementing Zerra’s new design direction for subsequent generations.
