Infinix GT NX Controller and Station Explained: Price, Phones, Nigeria

Ever wished you could play Call of Duty Mobile or Blood Strike on your phone with proper controls, on a big TV, without your phone heating up like a stove? That’s exactly the problem Infinix is trying to solve with its new GT NX accessories.

I’ve been a fan of Infinix’s GT gaming line for a while now, mostly because it brings gaming features to prices regular Nigerians can actually afford. In today’s post, we’ll be looking at the Infinix GT NX Controller and GT NX Station to see what they really do and whether they’re worth paying attention to. Here’s what we’ll cover: what each product is, the key features, which phones they work with, price, and availability in Nigeria.

Just so we’re clear, I haven’t tested either of these yet. Everything here comes from Infinix’s official announcement and early launch coverage.

What Infinix Announced

Infinix unveiled the GT NX Series peripherals in Hong Kong on September 24, 2026. There are two products: the GT NX Controller, a split-style game controller that clamps onto your phone, and the GT NX Station, a 9-in-1 esports dock that turns your phone into something closer to a home console setup.

Either way, the idea is simple. The controller gives you physical buttons and precise aiming, while the station connects your phone to a TV or monitor, keeps it cool, and charges it while you play.

GT NX Controller

First off, the headline feature here is what Infinix calls a “Pixel-Level FPS Precision Touchpad.” FPS means first-person shooter, games like Call of Duty Mobile and Blood Strike where you aim with crosshairs. Instead of dragging your thumb on a virtual joystick, the glass touchpad on the controller is meant to work more like a laptop mouse, so small movements translate to precise aim.

You get a split design, meaning the left and right halves separate. Infinix says you can use it three ways: clamped onto your phone, separated for playing on a desk, or single-handed. It also supports local two-player matches, so you and a friend can each take a half.

Under the hood, Infinix uses a three-chip, low-latency design (two chips in the left handle, one in the right) and what it calls millisecond-level Direct Connect. Latency is the delay between pressing a button and seeing the action on screen, so lower is better for competitive games.

Launch coverage also lists Hall-effect joysticks (magnetic sticks that don’t wear out or drift as easily as regular ones), a D-pad, XYBA buttons, shoulder triggers, a 6-axis gyroscope and dual 730mAh batteries. Infinix rates it for over 22 hours of continuous gaming per charge, which is impressive.

That aside, there are “FPS Tactical Haptics” with three intensity levels. Infinix gives examples like a one-second rumble when an aircraft drops and a 500-millisecond alert when the final circle shrinks in battle royale games. For MOBA games (multiplayer battle arenas like Mobile Legends), it supports four-zone skill mapping.

GT NX Station

The GT NX Station is the more interesting product to me. It’s a foldable 9-in-1 dock, and you get quite a lot of ports:

• HDMI output for a TV or monitor
• RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet for a wired internet connection
• 2x USB-A ports
• USB-C data port and a USB-C host connector
• USB-C Power Delivery (PD) input for pass-through charging
• microSD card reader
• 3.5mm headphone jack

The standout feature is the built-in TEC cooling plate. TEC stands for thermoelectric cooler, a small electronic plate that actively draws heat away from your phone, rather than just a fan blowing air. Infinix says it’s there to reduce thermal throttling, which is when a phone slows itself down because it’s too hot. Of course, there’s RGB lighting too, because it’s a gaming product.

The station also supports two display modes. Mirror mode shows your phone screen on the TV, while Extend mode sends the game to the monitor and lets your phone screen handle something else. To be honest, the Ethernet port alone could be handy, since plugging into a router is often more stable than Wi-Fi in a busy estate.

Which Phones Work With Them?

Now, this is where you need to pay attention. According to Infinix, the Station’s display features work best with Infinix GT-series phones running XOS 16.3 or newer. It also works with Android and iOS phones that support native DisplayPort output over USB-C, while some other Android phones may need a driver installed. You’ll also need a TV or monitor with HDMI input.

At its Indonesian launch, Infinix shared a rollout schedule for compatibility, as reported by Jagat Review. For the GT NX Controller, support starts with the GT 50 Pro, GT 30 Pro, GT 30, Note 50 Pro+ 5G, Note 50S 5G, Note 60 Ultra, Note 60 Pro, Note 60 and Note Edge. The GT 20 Pro, Note 50 Pro, Note 50 and Hot 60 Pro+ are listed for October 2026, then the Note 40 series, Hot 60 Pro and Zero 40 series later in Q4.

For the GT NX Station, the GT 50 Pro gets support first in September. The Note 50 Pro+ 5G and Note 60 Ultra follow in October, then the GT 30 Pro, GT 30, GT 20 Pro, Note 60 Pro and Note 60 in November, and the Zero 40 5G in December.

In a nutshell, if you own a recent Infinix GT or Note phone, you’re in the best position. Keep in mind this schedule was published for Indonesia, so timing may differ in other markets.

Price and Availability

Infinix’s global press release didn’t include prices, but some markets have already announced them. In Indonesia, the GT NX Controller costs Rp999,000 and the GT NX Station costs Rp1,099,000. At roughly Rp16,500 to the dollar, that’s about $61 and $67, or around ₦84,000 and ₦92,000.

In Malaysia, each product has an introductory price of RM299 (regular price RM399), with a bundle of both from RM549. At roughly RM4.2 to the dollar, RM399 is about $95, or around ₦132,000.

Infinix hasn’t announced a Nigerian launch or naira price for the GT NX Controller or GT NX Station yet. Regardless, Infinix is one of the biggest phone brands here, and its GT phones are sold through Nigerian channels like the Infinix official store on Jumia, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see these arrive. For context, the GT 50 Pro (12GB/512GB) is listed on Jumia’s official Infinix store at ₦849,688, though it was out of stock when I checked.

Pros and cons

Pros

• The FPS touchpad is a genuinely different idea for aiming on mobile
• Split controller design with over 22 hours of battery life
• The Station’s TEC cooling and pass-through charging tackle heat and battery drain
• HDMI, Ethernet and USB ports make it a proper phone “console” dock
• Works with some non-Infinix Android and iOS phones that support DisplayPort over USB-C

Cons

• No Nigerian price or launch date yet
• Full features depend on having a supported Infinix phone and the right XOS version
• Compatibility for many models is rolling out over months, not all at once
• You’ll need a TV or monitor with HDMI to get the most out of the Station

Price

Based on Indonesian pricing, expect the GT NX Controller to go for around ₦84,000 and the GT NX Station for around ₦92,000 if prices land at similar levels, although Nigerian prices usually come out higher once import costs are added. Malaysian pricing (RM399 regular) points closer to ₦132,000 per item. I’ll update this post once Infinix Nigeria confirms official naira prices and stores.

Finally, should you get the Infinix GT NX Controller and GT NX Station? Here’s my verdict.

If you already own a GT 50 Pro or another recent Infinix GT or Note phone and you play a lot of shooters, this combo looks like one of the most interesting mobile gaming setups around, especially the Station with its cooling and HDMI output. If your phone isn’t on the list yet, I’d wait until Infinix confirms support and Nigerian pricing before spending your money.
