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.

Apple has officially entered the foldable smartphone market with the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone. It uses a passport-style design that opens into a larger display while retaining a more conventional smartphone experience when folded.

Price and availability

The iPhone Duo starts at PhP 159,990 in the Philippines for the 256GB model as listed on the Apple website.

Here’s the full local pricing:

  • 256GB — PhP 159,990
  • 512GB — PhP 175,990
  • 1TB — PhP 207,990
  • 2TB — PhP 254,990

The iPhone Duo comes in Star White and Night Sky.

Actual availability in the Philippines has yet to be officially announced.

A foldable design with two displays

The iPhone Duo has a 5.4-inch outer display when folded and expands to a 7.6-inch main display when opened. Both orientations use the same aspect ratio, allowing iOS to transition between them seamlessly.

The rear chassis uses Ceramic Shield, while the front display gets Ceramic Shield 2. The device is also IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.

Its hinge uses carbon fiber supports and magnets that produce an audible click when the phone is folded.

A20 Pro brings flagship performance

The iPhone Duo is powered by the A20 Pro, the same chip found in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Apple says the chip delivers 35 percent better sustained performance than the iPhone 17 Pro.

It also comes with the new C2 cellular modem, which provides up to 50 percent faster uploads. Like other foldables, the Duo can be used in different configurations, including tent mode and a partially folded book-like position.

48-megapixel camera system

The iPhone Duo gets a 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera alongside a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera.

For selfies and video calls, it has a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera. The inner display also uses an under-screen camera for a cleaner look.

Battery life goes beyond a day

The iPhone Duo offers up to 31 hours of video playback using the inner display and up to 44 hours using the outer display.

Charging is also quick. Apple says a 20-minute charge can replenish half the battery, while a five-minute charge can provide up to five hours of video playback.
