Infinix just launched the Infinix GT 20 Pro smartphone and GTBook laptop in India, marking the start of the company's GT Verse gaming ecosystem (yup, everyone's got a catchy name now, thanks Marvel).
The GT 20 Pro smartphone, priced under Rs 25,000, boasts impressive specs, featuring India’s first MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset and a 144Hz AMOLED display.
But is the real-life experience as good as it sounds? Ahead of the launch, I got to check out the Infinix GT 20 Pro for a couple of days. Here’s my first impression to help you take a closer look at the phone incase you’re considering purchasing it.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Unboxing: What’s in the Box?
The Infinix GT 20 Pro comes packed in a tailor-made box to suit the taste of gamers. It is stylish in black, with inscriptions similar to the design of the phone inside. Unpacking this box itself was a treat. It opens like a puzzle box, with the tagline “Welcome to the GT World” greeting us.
Inside, we have a phone cover, a screen guard, the handset, an A-type USB cable, a 45W charger, the SIM-ejector tool, and the usual guides and manuals.
(Please note that the retail box could be different and contain fewer items.)
The unit we received from Infinix included the GT Pro Gaming Kit in addition to the box containing the phone. The gaming kit includes a GT mecha case, a GT cooling fan, a charging cable, and finger sleeves.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Design
The design of the phone really stands out as its best feature at first glance. It features what Infinix calls the “Cyber Mecha Design” with “Mecha Loop Lighting.” This refers to the unique design at the back of the phone, with a circular metallic ring and diagonal patterns known as “Mecha texture.” The C-ring lights up in different combinations or effects according to the color variant of the phone.
For context, the GT 20 Pro comes in three design or colour options: Mecha Blue, Mecha Orange, and Mecha Silver. The differences in the colours are noticeable in the shade of the circular ring.
The GT 20 Pro has indeed hit the ball out of the park when it comes to designing the phone according to the taste of gamers.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Display
The GT 20 Pro features a 6.78” FHD+ bezel-less AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The bezels are as thin as 1.3mm on the sides, 2.1mm at the bottom, and 1.65mm at the top. It also boasts 1300 nits peak brightness, 2304 Hz PWM dimming, a 260Hz touch sampling rate, a 1500Hz instant touch sampling rate, DCI-P3 100% color gamut, and 10-bit color depth.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Specifications
The GT 20 Pro is India’s first phone to feature the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset. The Infinix GT 20 Pro processor is designed to elevate gaming experiences with MediaTek Adaptive Gaming technology and AI-enhanced Variable Rate Shading technology. It features up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 ROM, a 3.1GHz frequency, and an A580 integrated GPU. It comes in two storage variants: 8GB RAM with 256GB memory, and 12GB RAM with 256GB memory.
In addition, it includes a separate dedicated display chip that optimizes to support up to 90 FPS during gaming. This is the first phone in this price segment to incorporate a dedicated gaming display chip, which converts SDR to HDR.
It also features the X Boost mode that helps boost performance during intense gaming sessions. To test out the performance, I played BGMI on the phone in Smooth Extreme+ graphics setting. The gameplay was really smooth, and stutters and lags weren’t noticeable at all. The phone did not get too warm even after 40 minutes of gaming.
The cooling system is also worth mentioning, as this is an important feature for gaming phones. Infinix informs that the GT 20 Pro features 360-degree SOC cooling, with VC Liquid cooling, PCM graphite sheet, and thermal paste working together to regulate the phone's temperature.
Infinix GT 20 Pro AnTuTu score
Infinix claims that the phone has garnered a score of above 950,000 on AnTuTu benchmarking tool. However, we are yet to test the phone further, including running benchmarks, to reach a more conclusive opinion about its performance.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Camera
The GT 20 Pro has a 108MP OIS main camera, a 2MP macro camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a 32MP selfie camera. Video recording is capped at 4K at 60FPS, with features like dual video and super night mode. The initial round of pictures we clicked seemed quite bright and clean, slightly on the over-exposed end, but we need to click more pictures to say for sure.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Battery and Software
The GT 20 Pro features a 5000mAh battery and is supported by a 45W fast charger in Hyper Charge mode. The GT 20 Pro also supports Bypass Charging.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Software and Additional Features
The GT 20 Pro runs on the latest Android 14-based XOS 14, with promises of up to 2 major Android upgrades, up to Android 16. Infinix also promises up to 3 years of security updates.
Infinix GT 20 Pro Price and Offers
The Infinix GT 20 Pro is priced below Rs 25,000, starting at Rs 22,999 (inclusive of bank offer) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. This is quite a tempting offer for a gaming phone, especially with the kind of features and specs on offer.
You can also get the GT Pro Gaming Kit, originally worth Rs 5,499 absolutely free! This kit includes a GT Mecha Case, GT Cooling Fan, and GT Finger Sleeves. However, this is a limited-period offer and it is only available while stocks last.
Infinix GT 20 Pro First Impression: Best gaming phone under 25000?
The Infinix GT 20 Pro 5G makes a strong first impression as a gaming smartphone, especially for its price range. The unboxing experience is delightful, and tailored to excite gamers right from the start. The design is striking and unique, aligning with the aesthetics gamers crave. Its display is vibrant and seems good enough for gaming and media consumption.
Performance-wise, the GT 20 Pro handles intensive gaming with ease, thanks to the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset and advanced cooling system. The initial camera performance appears promising, though further testing is needed for a definitive verdict. We’ll be doing a comprehensive Infinix GT 20 Pro review soon, so make sure to check that out before making an informed decision.
