Infinix GT 50 Pro India launch on 27 October: gaming phone, pre-bookings open, price still unannounced

Launch date, pre-bookings and where to buy

The GT 50 Pro has not launched in India yet as of 26 October 2026: its India launch is scheduled for 27 October 2026, so this article describes a scheduled launch, not a completed one. Pre-bookings began on 24 October on Infinix's official website, according to Digit, giving buyers a short pre-order window before the launch event.

Gizbot reported that the phone will be available exclusively through Flipkart in Black Abyss and Red Blaze colour options. That exclusivity is worth noting for buyers, because it means the phone will not be available from other large online retailers at the start, even if other sellers list it later.

The phone is not new to the world: it was launched in select global markets in April 2026. That history is useful because it gives a strong guide to the hardware, but Indian pricing, launch offers and the full India specification list still had to be confirmed at the 27 October launch.

The gaming hardware Infinix has confirmed

At the centre of the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, according to Gizbot. Infinix claims the device can deliver up to 144 frames per second in compatible games, including Free Fire Max and Call of Duty: Mobile, although that claim refers to compatible titles and settings, not to every game.

The display is a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and peak brightness rated at up to 4,500 nits, with a touch reporting rate of up to 2,800Hz. For thermal management, Infinix's HydroFlow Liquid Cooling System uses a 7,700 sq mm 3D vapour chamber, a micro-pump, dual piezoelectric ceramic plates and liquid circulation of up to 6.5ml per minute, with the cooling channels exposed through the rear panel in an Explicit Viewport Design.

Gaming controls are the other headline feature. Like its predecessor, the GT 50 Pro has pressure-sensitive shoulder triggers with four input modes, light press, hard press, left swipe and right swipe, and 10 pressure levels for customisable inputs. The battery is 6,500mAh, with 45W wired charging and 30W wireless charging support, and the GT MagCharge Cooler 2.0, an external magnetic cooling accessory, is included in the Indian retail box according to Gizbot.

Accessories, and why the price needs care

Infinix has also teased a wider gaming ecosystem around the phone, advertised as India's only smartphone-to-console ecosystem. Digit reported three accessories: the GT NX Controller, for handheld-style or split-control gaming; the GT NX Station, a dock allowing up to 4K 60 frames-per-second output on an external screen, with USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, microSD, headphone and Ethernet ports; and the GT MagCharge Cooler 2.0, for thermoelectric cooling and wireless charging. Those accessories are expected to cost extra, over and above the phone's price.

On price, readers should be especially careful, because the reports opened for this article do not agree. Gizbot expected the price to start from under Rs 45,000, while Digit expected it to sit in the sub-Rs 40,000 price bracket. Neither figure is an official Infinix price, and the gap between them shows why a media expectation should not be used as a purchase budget until the company announces variant-wise prices on 27 October.

For a buyer, the practical next step is therefore to wait for three confirmed details at launch: the official price for the chosen storage variant, the sale date and any launch offers, and whether the accessories are bundled or sold separately. Pre-booking before those details are known is a commitment made without the most important fact, the price.
