Gaming phones have a heating problem, but Infinix thinks it has cracked the solution. Meet the Infinix GT 50 Pro, a gaming phone with an industry-first micro-pump liquid cooling system that works more like a gaming PC than a smartphone. And yes, you can literally watch the coolant flow through a transparent Pipeline Window Display on the back.

How does the Infinix GT 50 Pro’s liquid cooling system actually work?

The HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture uses a piezoelectric-driven ceramic heat pump. It circulates specially formulated coolant at 6.5ml per minute through precision channels etched with micron-level laser accuracy.

The system covers 100% of the phone’s core heat sources across a 6,437mm² diaphragm area. Translation: your phone stays cool even during extended, high-intensity sessions.

If you want to push even further, the GT Magcharge Cooler 2.0 accessory adds 12W of active thermoelectric cooling. Its standout trick is wireless bypass charging, which routes power directly to the processor rather than the battery, cutting heat at the source and preserving battery health long-term.

What else does the Infinix GT 50 Pro bring to the table?

The phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chip, clocked at up to 3.25GHz. That’s paired with 12GB of RAM and your choice of 256GB or 512GB storage. The 6,500mAh battery charges at 45W wired and 30W wireless.

The 6.78-inch 1.5K display runs at up to 144Hz with a 4,500-nit peak brightness, and audio is handled by Dolby Atmos. For control, the Pressure-Sense GT Triggers are dual-pressure mechanical shoulder buttons with 10 pressure levels and under 20ms latency for console-grade control.

On the camera side, you get a 50MP main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide. XOS 16 also adds AI Smart Trigger for automating combos and AI Magic Voice Changer for team chat. The GT 50 Pro comes in Black Abyss, Red Blaze, and Silver Glacier.

Pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but the Infinix GT 50 Pro goes on sale in Indonesia first, with the 12GB/256GB model priced at roughly $376 and the 12GB/512GB variant around $434.

Overall, this month has been a big one for gaming phones, with OnePlus showing off a gaming-centric device Ace 6 Ultra and physical fans inside phones getting their biggest push yet.

I just switched to my first big foldable, and I finally get the appeal
I had written off foldables after frustrating flip phone experiences, but a bigger screen changed everything.

For the longest time, I've thought of foldable phones as a solution in search of a problem. They're expensive, fragile, and often feel like they're trying too hard to justify their existence. While I've appreciated the engineering behind them, I never quite saw how they would improve my actual day-to-day life. To me, a regular slab phone just made more sense. Simpler, cheaper, and good enough for almost everything.

I was never too psyched about foldables

I used the OnePlus Nord 6, and now most flagship batteries just feel underambitious
OnePlus' latest mid-ranger reminds me how conservative most flagship phones still are.

What stayed with me after using the OnePlus Nord 6 was not only the number attached to its battery. It was how weirdly normal the whole phone still felt. A 9,000mAh cell sounds like something that should belong inside a chunky gaming monster or a rugged brick with zero finesse.

So despite its powerbank-like capacity, the Nord 6 is a fairly normal-looking mid-range phone with the kind of battery life that makes a lot of premium flagships look timid.

YouTube has a Multiview feature, which lets you watch up to four live streams simultaneously on a single screen. Previously, you were stuck with preselected channel combinations that were mostly limited to live sports but it’s soon going to change.

The platform recently used Multiview to stream Coachella, so viewers could watch multiple stages at once. Now, Reddit users are spotting the same Multiview feature getting a major upgrade inside YouTube TV, and it looks like a game-changer.
