Exciting smartphones are still alive, and this liquid-cooled gaming device demonstrates that.
Liquid cooling, bypass charging, and mechanical triggers: the GT 50 Pro means business
Infinix
Gaming smartphones tend to struggle with overheating, but Infinix believes it has the answer. Introducing the Infinix GT 50 Pro, a gaming device featuring an industry-first micro-pump liquid cooling system that operates similarly to a gaming computer rather than a typical smartphone. And yes, you can visibly see the coolant circulating through a transparent Pipeline Window Display on the back.
How does the liquid cooling system of the Infinix GT 50 Pro function?
The HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture employs a piezoelectric-driven ceramic heat pump that circulates a specially designed coolant at a rate of 6.5ml per minute through channels meticulously etched with micron-level laser precision.

This cooling system encompasses 100% of the phone’s primary heat sources across a diaphragm area of 6,437mm², meaning your phone remains cool during prolonged, high-stakes gaming sessions.
If you're looking to enhance your experience, the GT Magcharge Cooler 2.0 accessory introduces 12W of active thermoelectric cooling. A notable feature is its wireless bypass charging, which channels power directly to the processor instead of the battery, thereby reducing heat at the source and extending battery longevity.

What additional features does the Infinix GT 50 Pro offer?
The device is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chip that can reach speeds of up to 3.25GHz. It's paired with 12GB of RAM and offers options of 256GB or 512GB of storage. The 6,500mAh battery supports 45W wired and 30W wireless charging.
The 6.78-inch 1.5K display boasts a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, while audio is enhanced by Dolby Atmos. For gaming control, the Pressure-Sense GT Triggers feature dual-pressure mechanical shoulder buttons with 10 pressure levels and less than 20ms latency for console-like performance.

On the camera front, you'll find a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and an 8MP ultrawide lens. XOS 16 provides an AI Smart Trigger for automating combos and an AI Magic Voice Changer for team chats. The GT 50 Pro is available in Black Abyss, Red Blaze, and Silver Glacier.
Though pricing has yet to be officially announced, the Infinix GT 50 Pro will first launch in Indonesia, with the 12GB/256GB model priced around $376 and the 12GB/512GB variant approximately $434.

I just switched to my first big foldable, and I finally get the appeal
I had dismissed foldables after unsatisfactory experiences with flip phones, but a larger screen changed everything.
For a long time, I viewed foldable phones as solutions looking for problems. They are pricey, delicate, and often seem overly eager to validate their existence. While I've admired the engineering behind them, I couldn't see how they would enhance my daily life. To me, a traditional slab phone seemed more practical—simpler, cheaper, and sufficient for most tasks.
I was never overly enthusiastic about foldables.

I used the OnePlus Nord 6, and now most flagship batteries just feel underwhelming
OnePlus' latest mid-range phone highlights how conservative many flagship devices still are.
What stuck with me after using the OnePlus Nord 6 was not just the impressive battery size but how surprisingly ordinary the overall phone felt. A 9,000mAh battery seems more suited for a bulky gaming device or a rugged phone lacking sophistication.
Thus, despite its powerbank-like capacity, the Nord 6 presents as a fairly standard mid-range phone, offering battery life that makes many premium flagships appear timid.
