We Tested the Infinix GT 50 Pro—Here’s What Makes It a Gamer’s Dream Phone
Nothing ruins a gaming experience faster than overheating, lagging, or sudden frame drops—but after getting our hands on the newest Infinix GT 50 Pro, ALL-STAR discovered that the official gaming phone of MPL Philippines might be something far more interesting than just a fix to those problems.
Here’s what stood out during our hands-on experience with the Infinix GT 50 Pro.
First Impression
The first thing that grabs your attention is the futuristic rear design.
The Infinix GT 50 Pro features the unique 4 crosshair-styled RGB lighting strip and a Pipeline Window Display that lets users literally see its cooling system in action, with visible flowing liquid beneath the transparent rear panel, creating a bold, innovative identity that immediately separates it from typical gaming smartphones.
The King of Esports! Unleashing the Liquid Cooling Beast, Infinix GT 50 Pro features the HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture, powered by a dual-piezoelectric ceramic micro-pump, that efficiently circulates coolant throughout the device while delivering industry-first full coverage of its core heat sources for superior heat dissipation.
What does that mean? Less heat. Less processor throttling. More consistent performance.
During ALL-STAR’s hands-on testing, the Infinix GT 50 Pro remained comfortable to hold even after a series of ranked games in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB).
Instead of gradually becoming uncomfortably warm, the phone maintained a consistent temperature, allowing comfortable gameplay even during extended play sessions without noticeable thermal discomfort.
Pro Player: What a World Champion Thinks
An MPL PH professional player, who has won multiple world championships and MPL championships, shared with ALL-STAR what truly makes a gaming phone stand out under pressure in MPL Philippines and how the Infinix GT 50 Pro performed when the stakes were at their highest.
“For a professional player, the most important thing in a phone is that it doesn’t suffer from frame drops, since smooth gameplay is essential. It also needs to stay cool and not overheat easily. And also the one that’s not too big—just the right size for the hand,” said the Exp Laner.
During the MPL PH Season 17, he discovered that the Infinix GT 50 Pro lived up to expectations with its up to 144FPS support across select gaming titles including MLBB and advanced cooling system, making lag, frame drops, and overheating no longer a concern during high-stakes competitive matches.
“It’s really smooth, and I would definitely recommend it to people who love playing Mobile Legends,” he added.
Features That Stand Out for an MLBB Pro Player:
- Easy-to-grip design
- Stable thermal performance during consecutive matches
- 144 FPS for smooth gameplay

Gadget Geek: Map Awareness with GT Triggers
Beyond competitive gameplay, the device also impressed everyday users for its design and usability. ALL-STAR spoke with a tech enthusiast and a gamer to get broader perspectives on the device.
A tech enthusiast praised the phone’s Kevlar-inspired rear texture and RGB lighting strips, which support 14 lighting scenarios and 8 customizable colors. However, what impressed him the most was the Pressure-Sense GT Trigger.
“Using the GT Trigger makes the game much easier to play. I can check the map and my items much faster in MLBB. I also tried playing in the Ultra HD setting, and the game has been running smoothly even while the phone is charging,” he explained.
The Infinix GT 50 Pro is also powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate processor and a 12GB RAM, allowing it to handle MLBB’s demanding resources smoothly while maintaining stable performance even in high graphics settings.

So what does the Pressure-Sense GT Trigger do?
The Pressure-Sense GT Trigger acts like built-in shoulder buttons for your phone, letting players perform actions such as instant blink and ultimate combos in MLBB or quick scope aiming in FPS games.
Beyond gaming controls, Infinix also emphasizes long-term usability and software support to ensure the device remains relevant beyond competitive play.
The GT 50 Pro comes with 5 years of software updates, including 3 major Android version upgrades and 5 years of security patches, ensuring long-term performance stability and device longevity.
Features That Stand Out for Gadget Geek:
- Extensive control with Pressure-Sense GT Trigger
- Long-term usability and software support
- Smooth gameplay even while charging
Hardcore Gamer: GT 50 Pro Feels Premium
Another gamer who also tested the device was immediately impressed by its premium build and flagship-like feel right out of the box.
“The moment I unboxed it, it immediately felt like a premium device. Honestly, the experience really felt like using a flagship gaming phone,” the gamer said.
Features That Stand Out for Hardcore Gamer:
- Unique sportscar-inspired rear aesthetic
- Extensive control with Pressure-Sense GT Trigger
- Smooth performance even at max graphics settings
- High-end feel
The GT Magcharge Cooler 2.0
To further enhance performance during long gaming sessions, the Infinix GT 50 Pro also supports GT Magcharge Cooler 2.0, an accessory designed to push thermal and charging efficiency even further.
GT Magcharge Cooler 2.0 enables industry-first wireless bypass charging when paired with the Infinix GT 50 Pro, allowing users to charge and chill simultaneously with 15W wireless power and 12W active TEC refrigeration.
This system helps maintain stable temperatures while powering the device directly, reducing unnecessary heat buildup during extended gameplay.
Unlock Powerful Google AI
While gaming performance is the GT 50 Pro’s main highlight, Infinix also equips the device with AI-powered productivity features designed for everyday use.
One standout bonus is that users can enjoy a three-month Google AI Plus plan at no additional cost. The free offer unlocks premium AI-powered tools and 2TB of Google Cloud storage, giving users access to advanced features that enhance productivity, creativity, and everyday convenience.
The package includes Gemini in Gmail for drafting and proofreading emails, 2TB of storage across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos, as well as AI-powered image generation tools that allow users to create visuals, posters, logos, and invitations using simple text prompts or reference images.
The Google AI Plus plan also includes AI-powered learning tools through Gemini and NotebookLM, allowing users to create personalized study plans, generate interactive quizzes, summarize information, and organize research more efficiently.
Why You Might Choose the Infinix GT 50 Pro
After extensive hands-on testing, it became clear why the Infinix GT 50 Pro was chosen as the official tournament phone of MPL Philippines.
The device delivered consistently smooth gaming performance, maintaining stable frame rates during long hours of play without noticeable lag or slowdowns.
Another standout feature is its ergonomic design. The Infinix GT 50 Pro strikes a sweet spot in terms of size—it isn’t too wide to make controls uncomfortable, nor too compact to compromise visibility.
Its lightweight build and comfortable grip make it easy to hold through multiple games, making it a solid option for avid mobile gamers who prioritize comfort during long grind sessions.
Beyond gaming, the GT 50 Pro brings powerful AI capabilities to everyday tasks. A complimentary three-month Google AI Plus subscription unlocks premium Gemini features, AI-powered image generation, smart productivity tools, and 2TB of cloud storage, helping users create, learn, organize information, and work more efficiently.
Beyond serving as the official phone of MPL Philippines, the Infinix GT 50 Pro has also served as an official device in international esports tournaments like the MPL Indonesia and MPL Malaysia, reinforcing its credibility on the competitive stage.
That speaks volumes about the device’s performance and reliability under high-pressure gameplay.
