Review of the Infinix GT 50 Pro Gaming Smartphone
content auto translated from {from}

Not long ago, I reviewed the Infinix NOTE Edge smartphone. It turned out to be a decent device for mobile gaming, though not without its drawbacks. Now I've had the chance to test the company's current flagship smartphone – the GT 50 Pro. This one is also aimed at gamers but belongs to a different, premium series.

So, there are no budgetary compromises this time — let's see what mobile technology is capable of today.

Design

The Infinix GT 50 Pro's belonging to the gaming segment starts with its construction. The design of the smartphone features not just one additional button like the NOTE Edge, but two “triggers” on the right edge (from the user's perspective). In games, these can be used just like triggers on game controllers (more on this below), but they can also be programmed with functions in apps.

Another “gamer” feature of the device is the cooling system. The smartphone itself has a special liquid cooling system, and it comes with a cooler designed to blow air over it, dissipating heat.

The smartphone and cooler are delivered in one large stylish box, with everything individually packaged.

The cooler attaches to a case that has a special design — on the back, in the center, there’s a metal plate that gets cooled by an airflow from one side and dissipates heat from the smartphone’s radiator on the other side (literally).

The cooler can operate either from the mains (in which case it even charges the smartphone via the wireless charging module) or from the smartphone itself (for this, a cable with USB Type-C connectors on both ends is included). Moreover, it works quite effectively — without it, the Antutu “stress test” overheats the smartphone in 5 minutes, but with the cooling on, the system holds for as long as 18 minutes. In games, however, additional cooling seemed unnecessary even on maximum settings, but still, the temperature in my favorite Arknights: Endfield dropped by 3 degrees — not too shabby, considering it was close to the overheating limit.

The only issue I encountered was that when powered by the smartphone, the cooler turned off upon reaching a temperature of 45 degrees (this occurred after about 13 minutes in the aforementioned
