MWC 2024: Infinix previews 1st flagship gaming phone

It will use a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, AI

Published

Infinix announced that it is set to release its first dual-core flagship gaming smartphone this year. This is after the company introduced a revolutionary flagship-level mobile gaming technology concept at ShowStoppers MWC 2024.

The cutting-edge technology is tipped to redefine the mobile gaming experience by utilizing state-of-the-art features powered by AI. The groundbreaking concept is already off to a promising start, achieving an AnTuTu benchmark score of 2,215,639.

Infinix used a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 mobile chip for the concept, along with its first CoolMax system and an AI management platform.

Integrating this technology to the planned Infinix gaming phone will help offer customers an unparalleled performance and immersive gameplay.

Electrifying the gaming experience

Infinix’s new mobile gaming technology aims to deliver a comprehensive experience by integrating four key elements: processor, graphics, cooling system, and AI-powered content generation.

Aside from the Dimensity 9300 processor, Infinix is also using Pixelworks visual processors to provide refresh rates of up to 180Hz for FHD+ and 144Hz for WQHD+ resolution.

For its cooling solution, Infinix will use its CoolMax System. The CoolMax System optimizes chipset performance without compromising the device’s overall efficiency.

The revolutionary system utilizes Thermal-Electric Cooling (TEC) and the Peltier effect to efficiently regulate temperature and dissipate heat.

When finalized, this will help the gaming device set a new standard in the industry, as it ensures optimal performance and reduces temperatures by up to 10 degrees Celsius.

AI algorithm for gaming

Infinix’s AI algorithm will also dynamically adjust core utilization based on different scenarios.

For instance, high visual performance shall be assigned intelligently to the most powerful core. In contrast, the smaller cores work and conserve battery during periods of low visual demands.

This AI-driven optimization ensures the chipset operates at peak efficiency without constantly running at maximum performance. This will not only reduce heat generation but also save energy and enhance the gaming experience further.

Innovative charging

Lastly, Infinix has also introduced three-new innovative charging technologies: Infinix E-Color Shift, Infinix AirCharge, and Infinix Extreme-Temp Battery.

Infinix AirCharge is a magnetic resonance-based safe wireless charging technology. It has the potential for mass production, promising a seamless charging experience.

The Infinix Extreme-Temp Battery, meanwhile, is the first battery technology capable of supporting charging in extreme cold temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius.

This will make Infinix’s upcoming product the first in the industry capable of charging under extreme weather conditions in its class.
