After the launch of the Infinix NOTE 40 series in several markets, including the Philippines, earlier this month, the Transsion Holdings sub-brand is at it again with the announcement of its second gaming-focused smartphone.

(Update, June 10: Here’s why the Infinix GT 20 Pro might be the gaming phone you didn’t know you needed!)

(Update, June 4: We now have the expected pricing and launch date for the Philippine market!)

The Infinix GT 20 Pro is the successor to last year’s GT 10 Pro, and it’s named as the official tournament phone of the MPL-PH [Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League-Philippines] Season 13.

The mid-priced Infinix GT 10 Pro launched with a 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 8050 5G chip under the hood, a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 5,000mAh battery that can be recharged quickly with a 45-watt power brick. Adding to the phone’s gamer cred, the backplate features a customizable strip of mini LEDs that flanks the camera module. It’s a flashy touch that reinforces the device’s gaming focus.

Thankfully, Infinix isn’t messing with a winning formula. The GT 20 Pro retains the core design of its predecessor, but ups the ante on customization with a flashier backplate featuring more LED lights and customization options.

Thankfully, the Infinix GT 20 Pro closely follows the design of its predecessor, opting for more LED lights and customization options. The company claims the redesigned rear boasts eight color combos and four lighting effects, letting you personalize your unit’s aesthetic. The Infinix GT 20 Pro will be available in Mecha Blue, Mecha Orange, and Mecha Silver colors, and also inherits the Note 40 series’ IP54 water- and dust-resistance rating for added peace of mind during those inevitable gaming mishaps.

Meanwhile, the display gets a bump in both size and smoothness. The Infinix GT 20 Pro steps up to a larger 6.78-inch flat AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, a noticeable upgrade from the previous model’s 120Hz panel.

But the muscle behind the display is the real story. The GT 20 Pro gets a serious performance upgrade with the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate processor, boasting clock speeds of up to 3.1GHz and Mali-G610 graphics.

Infinix GT 20 Pro unboxing video

Infinix throws in an extra gaming boost with its new in-house Pixelworks X5 Turbo display chip. Together, these promise to elevate your gaming experience, potentially pushing frame rates from 60fps to 120fps in supported games. To keep things cool under pressure, the phone boasts a beefier VC Liquid Cooling system compared to what came before.

Infinix sticks with the tried-and-true 5,000mAh battery and 45W fast charging for the GT 20 Pro. The camera department sees minimal change, too, with the same 108-megapixel main sensor as the previous generation. Still, the GT 20 Pro’s display and performance upgrades make it a compelling option, especially if Infinix delivers on competitive pricing when it launches in the Philippines and other markets soon. Stay tuned for updates.
