Ahead of its Philippine launch on June 10, 2026, Infinix gave esports fans an early look at the upcoming GT 50 Pro during a special showcase at the MPL PH Arena. As the official gaming phone of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) Philippines, the device was presented to one of the country’s most engaged competitive gaming communities.
The GT 50 Pro is positioned as a performance-focused gaming smartphone, with Infinix placing particular emphasis on thermal management, high frame rate gaming, and tournament-ready reliability.
Built to Stay Cool Under Pressure
At the center of the GT 50 Pro’s gaming credentials is Infinix’s HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture. The system combines a large 3D Vapor Chamber with the GT MagCharge Cooler 2.0 accessory to help manage temperatures during extended gaming sessions.
According to Infinix, overheating remains one of the most common concerns among mobile gamers. The company says the cooling system is designed to maintain stable temperatures, helping reduce performance throttling, frame drops, and gameplay interruptions during demanding matches.
The smartphone also features a 144FPS Gaming Ecosystem and MLBB Certified High Frame Rate support, delivering smoother visuals and more responsive gameplay for competitive titles.
Validated for Competitive Play
Infinix revealed that the GT 50 Pro underwent a three-phase testing process in collaboration with MOONTON Games. The certification process included stress testing, tournament simulations, on-site evaluations, and hands-on testing by professional players.
The company says these evaluations helped ensure the device could meet the performance and reliability requirements expected in professional esports environments.
“Our partnership with Infinix is rooted in a shared commitment to elevating the competitive gaming experience and equipping players with technology built for professional play,” said Lee Viloria, head of business development and partnerships for PH esports at MOONTON Games.
Expanding the GT Ecosystem
Alongside the smartphone, Infinix also introduced the GT Watch 5 Pro, an esports-focused smartwatch designed to complement the GT 50 Pro.
The wearable includes a dedicated esports mode that displays heart rate and gaming-related data. Infinix also highlighted the watch’s integration with MPL Philippines broadcasts, allowing live BPM data from players to be displayed during matches.
The launch reflects the company’s broader strategy of expanding the GT Series beyond smartphones and into a wider gaming ecosystem.
Community and Esports Initiatives
During the MPL event, attendees were given hands-on access to both the GT 50 Pro and GT Watch 5 Pro through interactive booth activities and product demonstrations.
Infinix also continued its support for local esports initiatives through activities such as FANSIKLABAN and the Alamat Awards, which recognize standout teams, players, media contributors, and memorable moments within the MPL community.
According to the company, these initiatives are part of its broader effort to support Filipino gaming culture while helping aspiring players connect more closely with the professional esports scene.
