Infinix GT 50 Pro 评测

Listen to article

Infinix 已建立起制造高性价比游戏手机的声誉。这些手机不仅外观酷炫,性能也十分出色。去年的 Infinix GT 30 Pro 便是其中的杰出代表,它甚至配备了通常见于更昂贵游戏手机的肩键功能。

今年,Infinix终于发布了GT 30 Pro的继任者,有趣的是,它并未命名为GT 40 Pro。这或许与某款福特超级跑车有关,但暂且不论。

相反,GT系列迎来了全新机型——Infinix GT 50 Pro。

它配备了我们在Infinix GT系列中期待的所有功能——144Hz刷新率显示屏、强大的芯片组,以及当然还有带有游戏美学的游戏按键。

但与新进入市场的预算级游戏手机相比,它的表现如何?让我们一探究竟。

设计与建造

首先,让我们谈谈Infinix GT 50 Pro的外观。毫不意外,它延续了Infinix品牌一贯的电竞美学风格。

我们的评测样机采用这种深红色配色方案,我们个人很喜欢。背板底部还有一个有趣的设计主题,带有类似机甲的元素。

我们发现非常有趣的是,Infinix 将两种不同的材料融合用于后盖面板。

上半部分采用类磨砂质感,触感略显粗糙。而采用机甲设计的区域则采用亮面处理。虽然不明显,但这并非玻璃背板,而是塑料材质。

当然,它仍然配备了背部LED灯带,或如传音(Infinix)所称的“机械光波”。与GT 30 Pro的背光灯相比,GT 50 Pro上的设计更为醒目,采用了更宽的LED灯条。

最重要的是,颜色现在可以更改,而不仅仅是不同的照明设计。

GT 50 Pro 还保留了来自前代的右侧双 GT 扳机,它们也略微加长了一些,使得操作更加便捷。与之前一样,这些扳机支持完全自定义映射,可快速访问手机的其他功能,而不仅限于游戏场景,我们稍后将进一步探讨。

音量调节键和电源键仍位于机身右侧,可轻松单手操作。

底部配有USB-C接口、其中一个扬声器以及双SIM卡槽。顶部则设有另一个扬声器、红外发射器以及Dolby Atmos标识。

有些人可能会觉得Infinix GT 50 Pro的设计有些过于张扬。但我们认为,这有助于这款智能手机在市场上塑造独特的身份,与当今大多数智能手机形成鲜明对比。各位怎么看呢?

供参考,我们的评测机也是冷却版,配有独立的磁吸散热器和对应保护壳。

显示屏、多媒体与生物识别技术

转向其显示屏,Infinix GT 50 Pro 配备了一块 6.78 英寸屏幕,搭载 1.5K AMOLED 面板、144Hz 刷新率,并支持 HDR10+。

这是一块精美的显示屏,四周拥有纤薄边框。它非常适合观看视频和玩游戏,且用户界面动画十分流畅。

得益于 144Hz 刷新率,游戏玩家将是这款手机的主要使用者,但关于这一点我们稍后再详述。不过,在不玩游戏时,用户在使用 GT 50 Pro 观看喜爱的剧集消磨时间时也不会感到失望。

屏幕亮度也相当出色,并支持开启高亮模式,使其在户外使用时非常便捷。但我们真正喜爱的是其出厂即呈现的鲜艳色彩表现。

默认设置为“原始色彩”,但如果用户希望获得更鲜艳的效果,可以选择“亮彩”选项。遗憾的是,即使将亮度调至最高,仍存在大量眩光。

至于立体声扬声器,考虑到这并非一款高端智能手机,其表现已属不错,尤其是在开启Dolby Audio之后。中频和高频清晰,但根据歌曲不同,有时声音会略显浑浊。正如预期,低音明显不足。

重要的是它声音够大。即使音量调至最大,音质也仅有微小下降。它轻松就能填满我们 YugaTech 总部的客厅。

For biometrics, there’s an option between an under display fingerprint sensor and face unlock.

Cameras

Since this is a gaming phone, the cameras aren’t the best aspect of the Infinix GT 50 Pro.

At the rear, there’s only a 50MP main shooter paired with an 8MP ultrawide camera. For the front, there’s a 13MP camera for selfies.

To be honest, we didn’t have high expectations for the cameras of this phone, considering it leans more towards gaming, but we were decently satisfied with the output.

The images came out nice, especially in well-lit environments. They’re sharp, and there’s decent contrast too. The colors aren’t too saturated either, which gives the images a more natural look and feel.

However, when it’s really bright out, the camera has a hard time balancing the highlights and shadows. With that, some photos turned out having too dark of a shadow, but at least the highlights aren’t blown out.

As expected, the ultrawide does not have the same performance as compared to using the main camera. There’s a noticeable difference in quality, but some might not find it as obvious especially when in well-lit places.

When using the zoom, it is decent up until 5x, which is a nice feature considering there’s no telephoto lens. In low light, the image quality quickly drops, but it is still very much usable for those that just want to capture memories.

What’s more surprising is the video capability of the camera. The GT 50 Pro can record up to 4K@60FPS, and best of all, video stabilization works even at 4K. With that, we were able to capture some steady footage.

The video quality is very much the same as the photo, and it also has the same issue of having a hard time balancing highlights and shadows. Users can adjust it manually, but it reverts back to the original setting once in a while leaving users with either overblown highlights or dark shadows.

Still, for a gaming phone, the cameras are no doubt decent. Just check out the gallery below to see what we mean.

Performance and Benchmarks

Now we get to the aspect we’re waiting for from the Infinix GT 50 Pro – the performance.

It packs a Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, and our review unit comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. There’s no dedicated microSD card slot available, but 512GB is more than enough to handle a bunch of games and apps.

Considering the chipset it packs, we’re not surprised this phone could run most games we could think of. On Mobile Legends, it was able to play the game on max graphics without any issues. It’s a similar story with other lighter titles like CarX Drift 2.

When playing more graphic intensive games like Genshin Impact, we were able to play the game on medium to high graphics settings and at 60 FPS. Together with the GT triggers and the 144Hz refresh rate display, we enjoyed playing our favorite games on this phone.

Although not all games could utilize the triggers, it’s nice to know we can use them when we want to. Best of all, we didn’t have any heating issues with the phone either. It features liquid cool technology, which can be toggled on or off in the settings. Of course, we left it turned on to get consistent gaming temps.

Not to mention the Cooling Edition comes with a magcharge cooler, which further helps with keeping the temps at bay. With that, there's no need to worry about the phone heating up with extended play times.

Given how well it handled the games, we weren’t surprised it didn’t have any issues handling our day-to-day tasks.

As for the benchmarks, it performed very well with all our tests, and as you can see from the benchmark scores below, these are impressive numbers.

OS, Apps, and UI

The Infinix GT 50 Pro runs on One UI XOS 16, based on Android 16. It’s a smooth OS, and quite easy to use. Not to mention it comes with a mecha theme to match the gamer aesthetic of the phone.

Although if you’re not fond of it, users can change the theme to regular XOS for a cleaner look and feel.

Of course, it comes with the usual suite of AI features like Google’s Circle to Search and Gemini. There’s also Infinix AI functions like AI Writing and AI Subtitles to make every work and play a lot easier.

Here, users can also play with the settings for the GT Triggers when not in use for games. Users can set it up to open XArena, use it as a shutter button for cameras, and more. The apps that can be launched by the GT Trigger are a bit limited, but at least it's there.

As for X-Arena, it’s essentially like a game launcher which holds all of the games installed. Users can also change the phone parameters to improve performance.

Battery and Connectivity

Powering the Infinix GT 50 Pro is a 6,500mAh battery pack, which seems to be more common nowadays in this budget segment. Given the nature of gaming phones, we didn’t expect the battery to last that long based on our previous experiences.

Since we got our hands on the phone, we noticed that the battery drains relatively fast even when we aren't playing games.

Our PCMark Work 3.0 Battery benchmark scores showed a similar result with 11 hours and 44 minutes. In our standard Yugatech video loop test it lasted 41 hours and 40 minutes.

For reference, both tests were ran on airplane mode, zero volume, and 50% brightness. Assuming users leave the mechanical lightwaves turned on, expect the battery to drain even faster.

Thankfully, there is a 45W wired charger, which isn’t that fast, but it supports bypass charging to help preserve the long term life of the battery.

There’s also support for wireless charging. Not to mention the GT Magcharge Cooler also offers 15W wireless bypass charging to keep the phone even cooler while juicing up and in-use.

For connectivity, it features 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and infrared.

Conclusion

Overall, we’re very satisfied with what the Infinix GT 50 Pro offers in terms of performance and overall user experience.

It’s great for gamers who don’t want to splurge on a more expensive gaming phone, and at the same time, it is also perfect as an everyday phone.

The camera got an upgrade, but the battery is still lacking, which is expected. As for the aesthetic, well, style is subjective after all. Thankfully, there is bypass charging too.

As for the price, at the time of writing, Infinix has yet to release the price of the GT 50 Pro for the Philippines. Globally, prices start at around USD 406 or roughly PHP 24,600 for the Infinix GT 50 Pro. Assuming the Philippines follows global pricing, there is a big jump from its predecessor.

But so far, what do you guys think of the Infinix GT 50 Pro? Is it still the go-to mid-range gaming phone you’ll choose or would you pick something else?
