Infinix is expanding its GT gaming lineup with two peripherals designed to move a smartphone beyond handheld play. The GT NX Controller is a split controller with a glass FPS touchpad, while the GT NX Station is a 9-in-1 dock with active TEC cooling, HDMI output, Ethernet and power delivery pass-through.
The controller’s distinguishing feature is its large glass touchpad, which supports swipe and mouse modes. Infinix says its “Pixel-Level FPS Precision Touchpad” is intended to provide mouse-like precision in mobile shooters. It also supports independent mapping across four zones, a feature aimed at games without native controller support.
- Design: Split smartphone controller that can be used with a phone mounted between the two halves, in a desktop setup, or as a one-sided handheld controller.
- Touchpad: Large glass surface with swipe and mouse modes.
- Mapping: Four independently configurable zones.
- Connectivity architecture: Three chips, with two on the left section and one on the right, intended to reduce latency.
- Battery life: More than 22 hours.
- Haptics: Three vibration levels in XArena—Low, Medium and High—with programmable in-game feedback in mapping mode.
- Grip: Laser-textured anti-slip surface.
Infinix is also emphasizing haptics for competitive play. Its examples include a one-second vibration for takeoff and parachuting, plus 500 ms pulses as an FPS game’s final zone closes in. The accessories extend a gaming hardware push that already includes the GT 50 Pro, which has physical triggers and enhanced cooling.
GT NX Station brings cooling and desktop I/O
The GT NX Station combines a foldable integrated TEC active-cooling system with the ports of a USB-C hub. It supports Mirror mode, which duplicates the phone display on an external screen, and Extend mode, where a game can run on the larger display while the handset remains available for messaging, guides or other apps.
- Video: HDMI output with Mirror and Extend modes.
- Networking: RJ45 Ethernet.
- USB: Two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, USB-C PD input and a USB-C host cable.
- Storage: microSD card reader.
- Audio: 3.5 mm headphone jack.
- Power: PD pass-through for the dock and connected phone.
- Lighting: Dynamic RGB illumination.
External-display support is conditional. Mirror and Extend are available on select Infinix devices running XOS 16.3 or later, as well as Android and iOS devices with USB-C and native DisplayPort output. Other USB-C Android phones may require a driver installation through the dock, and the external display must have HDMI. Infinix has not provided pricing or availability details for either GT NX accessory.
