In addition to satellite communications support coming to the Note 60 series later this year, Infinix has also announced a new active cooling technology called Hydroflow. According to the brand, it is liquid cooling, making it “one of the most advanced smartphones in the world”.
At its heart is the industry’s first dual piezoelectric ceramic single pump, which uses electric current to drive high-frequency deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic, driving fluorinated liquid at high-speed flow rates of up to 6.5 ml/min, which is twice the speed of traditional active liquid cooling systems. The official press release states that liquid cooling channels cover 100% of the mainboard’s main heat sources for “unprecedented cooling precision and efficiency.”
To top it off even more, Infinix is also introducing the world’s first piezoelectric fan technology for smartphones, which uses a 0.1mm ultra-thin vibrating sheet that pulses 25,000 times per second, creating a high-pressure, turbulent air jet that delivers ten times more heat dissipation than traditional spinning blades. This fan operates almost silently due to its solid-state structure and lack of blades, ensuring a more comfortable user experience.
The next step that Infinix is already working on is a full-chamber immersive cooling solution, where the liquid directly contacts key components for faster heat dissipation.
The brand has also revealed an industry-first split gaming controller, which features a large pressure-sensitive touchpad and ultra-low-latency with wireless magnetic triggers along with “mouse-grade micro-switches.”
Infinix is nothing new experimenting with color-changing backs – for example, it showcased e-ink based solutions twice in 2024. Today at CES it’s introducing Active Visual Backplate technology, which uses precision optical microstructures to manipulate reflected light into a back panel design that changes with viewing angle and environment. By simply rotating the phone you will be able to enjoy “flowing colours, vivid and continuous animations, or the mesmerizing 3D stereoscopic images on the back cover”.
To further improve this technology, Infinix is adding smart materials like bistable thermo-chromatic ink and starry photochromic leather to actively change pattern and color with changes in temperature and ambient light. These visuals are on top of an advanced “monolithic cold-carved polymer structure” that seamlessly integrates the camera module into the rear panel for a more refined aesthetic and intuitive touch.
The company says the combination of all these technologies will “bring vibrant personality to Infinix products, with designs that are stunning at first glance and extraordinary upon closer inspection”.
Finally, Infinix is introducing a magnetic accessory ecosystem called ModuVerse, and five Modu accessories have been highlighted previously. These connect to Infinix smartphones using an “integrated magnetic interface”. The first are the Mic Modu for “professional noise reduction”, a magnetically attached anti-shake SportsCam Modu, a Meeting Modu with integrated translation and notes generation, a StackPower Modu for on-demand power expansion, and a VlogCam Modu for “AI-powered subject tracking and gesture control”.
It’s unclear when any of these technologies will actually be implemented in a shipping Infinix product, but we’ll let you know when we know more about them.
