At CES 2026, Infinix unveiled a bold portfolio of next-generation mobile technologies under its “Joyful Tech, Beyond Limits” philosophy. The showcase marked a major step forward for the brand, introducing satellite communication, advanced active cooling systems, expressive smartphone design technologies, and a modular AI ecosystem aimed at redefining connectivity, performance, and personalisation in future smartphones.
Satellite Communication
Infinix revealed its first global satellite communication solution for consumer smartphones, significantly expanding access to reliable connectivity in remote and low-signal environments. With projected coverage spanning nearly two-thirds of the Earth’s surface, the system supports 4 kbps transmission, enabling two-way high-definition voice calls and short message services.
Built on a unified communication framework, the solution requires no additional registration and automatically switches between mobile roaming and satellite connectivity. It supports both speaker mode and Bluetooth headset calls, ensuring clear audio pickup even in challenging conditions such as strong winds or signal dead zones.
The upcoming Infinix NOTE 60 Series will be the first to feature satellite calling and messaging, laying the groundwork for a Space-Air-Ground integrated network. Infinix positions this move as a step toward future technologies such as 6G connectivity, immersive augmented reality experiences, and real-time environmental AI.
HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture
To address performance stability and thermal challenges, Infinix introduced its HydroFlow Liquid Cooling Architecture, one of the most advanced cooling solutions developed for smartphones. At its core is the industry’s first Dual-Piezoelectric-Ceramic Single-Pump Technology, which uses high-frequency ceramic deformation to drive fluorinated liquid at speeds of up to 6.5 ml per minute, doubling the flow rate of conventional active liquid cooling systems.
The cooling channels are engineered to fully cover the mainboard’s primary heat sources, delivering precise and efficient thermal control. Complementing this system is the world’s first piezoelectric fan designed specifically for smartphones. Instead of traditional blades, the fan uses a 0.1 mm ultra-thin vibrating sheet that pulses 25000 times per second, producing turbulent airflow that achieves over ten times the heat dissipation efficiency of conventional designs while operating in near silence.
Together, the liquid cooling architecture and piezoelectric fan form an integrated thermal solution that delivers cooler surface temperatures and more stable performance during demanding gaming sessions. Infinix also teased future developments, including full-chamber immersive cooling solutions where liquid directly contacts critical components for even faster heat dissipation.
Gaming Accessories
To complement its high-performance cooling system, Infinix highlighted an industry-first split gaming controller featuring a large pressure-sensitive touchpad designed for ultra-low-latency input. The brand also introduced wireless magnetic triggers equipped with mouse-grade micro-switches, transforming compatible smartphones into immersive gaming stations capable of delivering precise control and competitive responsiveness.
Active Visual Backplate Technology
Infinix is also redefining smartphone aesthetics with its Active Visual Backplate Technology, which introduces dynamic visual effects without additional power consumption. Using optical microstructures such as colour-changing louvres, high-frame-rate dynamic gratings, and naked-eye 3D films, the back panel actively manipulates reflected light to produce flowing colors, animated patterns, and three-dimensional imagery that shifts with viewing angles.
Interactive smart materials further enhance this experience. Bistable thermo-chromatic ink and starry photochromic leather allow the back panel’s colour and texture to respond to temperature changes and ambient light. These elements are integrated into a monolithic cold-carved polymer structure that seamlessly blends the camera module into the rear panel, delivering a refined aesthetic and smooth tactile feel.
AI ModuVerse
Infinix also debuted the AI ModuVerse system, a modular ecosystem designed to expand smartphone functionality through magnetically attached accessories. Using a unified magnetic interface, the modules integrate hardware and AI technologies to support scenario-specific tasks and performance enhancements.
The AI ModuVerse includes accessories such as the Mic Modu for professional-grade noise reduction, the SportsCam Modu with enhanced stabilisation, the Meeting Modu for translation and note generation, the StackPower Modu for on-demand battery expansion, and the VlogCam Modu offering AI-powered subject tracking and gesture control.
Infinix's Mobile Future
With its CES 2026 showcase, Infinix reinforced its ambition to push beyond traditional smartphone boundaries. By combining satellite communication, advanced thermal engineering, expressive design technologies, and a modular AI ecosystem, the brand is positioning itself at the forefront of a future where mobile devices deliver greater freedom, creativity, and seamless global connectivity.
