Infinix GT 20 Pro

Infinix has launched its newest esports-level gaming smartphone: The Infinix GT 20 Pro. It is the official gaming phone of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Season 13, as well as the PUBG Mobile Super League (PMSL). It is also the brand’s first IRX-certified phone.

The latest device sets itself in its segment, being the only handset to have a dedicated gaming display chip for its price point. The Infinix GT 20 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate 4nm 5G processor, and a Pixelworks X5 Turbo Dedicated Gaming Display Chip. The latter offers users esports-level performance and a stunning visual experience. This chip can push frame rates from 60fps to 120fps.

With such exceptional performance and efficiency, the Infinix GT 20 Pro can handle popular titles, like MLBB, PUBG, Call of Duty, Genshin Impact, and Honkai: Star Rail. Notably, it can upscale Genshin Impact refresh rates to 120Hz through interpolation for super-smooth gameplay.

The handset also features a bezel-less 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. The device houses a 5,000mAh battery with 45W of fast charging, while at the back is a 108MP OIS main camera. Sound coming from the device’s dual speakers, meanwhile, is refined by JBL.

The Infinix GT 20 Pro has configurations of up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. Pricing and availability details for the Philippine market will be announced later.

Perform like a gaming beast

The Infinix GT 20 Pro’s gaming performance is further supported by its Stable Frame-rate Engine that optimizes gameplay. This engine prioritizes gaming resources and balances temperature and power consumption. It also includes Xboost for sustained performance management. Furthermore, it employs vertical synchronization to prevent screen tearing.

Meanwhile, a meticulously engineered cooling system employs a 68% larger Phase Change Material (PCM) graphite sheet and a 73% larger VC Liquid Cooling system. These improvements lead to better cooling and heat dissipation efficiency. Additionally, more than 66% of the thermal paste is applied to the primary heat source area for targeted cooling.

Designed for gaming masters

 

The Infinix GT 20 Pro comes in a Cyber Mecha Design. This captures the Infinix GT spirit of metal, power, and speed. It has a unique Turbine Blade pattern in a finish that is distinctively machine-like.

Moreover, the phone sports a customizable Mecha Loop LED Interface where users can choose from eight color combinations and four lighting effects. The Infinix GT 20 Pro is available in Mecha Blue, Mecha Orange, and Mecha Silver color options.

Toward a holistic gaming universe

 

The Infinix GT 20 Pro’s release coincides with the introduction of the Infinix GT VERSE, the brand’s gaming ecosystem. Aside from the new phone, Infinix has announced the Infinix GTBOOK, the brand’s newest laptop created in partnership with Nvidia. This notebook features top-tier CPU and GPU technology, advanced cooling solutions, and a high refresh rate display.
