Charge and Conquer – Infinix NOTE 30 Ensures Optimal Gaming Performance with its Revolutionary Bypass Charging

Infinix note 30 gaming

For avid mobile gamers, gathering with friends for gaming sessions in popular titles like “Free Fire” or “Arena of Valor” serves as a way to unwind and alleviate daily stress. However, a common challenge arises when their phones run out of battery during gameplay and require charging to continue. This often leads to overheating issues with regular phone batteries, causing the gaming performance to suffer due to underclocking of the SoC chip. Fortunately, Infinix NOTE 30 addresses this concern with its bypass charging function, allowing players to charge while gaming without overheating. With the NOTE 30, gamers can enjoy an uninterrupted and cool gaming experience.

 Infinix NOTE 30 gaming

The Infinix NOTE 30 introduces an impressive 45W wired fast charging feature, providing 1.95 hours of gaming battery life with just 5 minutes of charging. Additionally, it can charge up to 75% of the 5000mAh battery in just 30 minutes. A standout feature of the phone is its innovative bypass charging technology, which directly powers the motherboard while charging and playing games. This extends battery life, reduces battery aging, and enhances safety during charging and gameplay.

 Infinix NOTE 30 gaming

Technically, the bypass charging function is a smart feature of the NOTE 30. When the battery level reaches or surpasses the bypass charging threshold (default at 30%), the charging current bypasses the battery and goes directly to the motherboard.

By implementing bypass charging, the phone significantly reduces overheating issues that commonly occur during simultaneous charging and gaming. In tests conducted by Infinix Lab, bypass charging reduced the temperature of the NOTE 30 by 2-7°C compared to conventional charging methods. This greatly improves user comfort, especially during extended gaming sessions or in hot weather conditions.

Enabling bypass charging is simple and can be accessed through the X-Arena game space interface. Users can slide out the sidebar from the left or right sides of the screen and select bypass charging.

Infinix is committed to providing users with more freedom and the latest innovations. With the new model, players can adjust the bypass charging threshold within the X-Arena settings to three options: 20%, 30%, or 40%. This empowers users to choose whether the current input directly supplies power to the motherboard instead of going through the battery when the battery reaches their desired threshold.

 Infinix NOTE 30 gaming

For an unparalleled gaming experience, the NOTE 30 series introduces the exclusive gaming software XArena. Driven by the advanced Dar-Link 2.0 engine, it intelligently optimizes the CPU and GPU speeds of the Helio G99 chipset, ensuring smooth gameplay and stunning visuals in every gaming scenario. XArena offers handy features such as call and message interference, along with Respawn Countdown, which keeps players informed about their in-game respawn time, allowing them to efficiently manage their tasks. Moreover, the NOTE 30 Pro takes gaming to the next level with its VC liquid cooling, flagship JBL sound, and immersive 120Hz screen, guaranteeing superior audio, touch, and visual experiences for passionate gamers.

As summer heats up, the Infinix NOTE 30 becomes an indispensable companion for gamers, enabling uninterrupted gaming sessions without concerns of overheating. Dive into thrilling gameplay with your teammates throughout the day and indulge in the excitement of immersive gaming experiences all summer long!

Infinix Note 30 series can be purchased at authorized retail outlets across Nigeria. Follow Infinix Nigeria on social media for more information about the Note 30 Series and its amazing features.

BBNaija All-Stars: “Why men should be the ones taking birth control pills” – Angel

Angel

Big Brother Naija All-stars housemate, Angel Smith, has opined that men should be the ones taking birth control pills, not women.

The 23-year-old shared her opinion while having a discussion about the effect of birth control pills with her fellow housemates on Tuesday, July 25.

According to her, men should be the ones taking birth control due to the side effects and complications it has on women.

Angel

Angel pointed out that many women suffer from excessive weight gain, mood swings, anxiety, and even depression after taking birth control pills.

Speaking further, she said it’s unfair for women to bear the entire burden of using contraception when they can only conceive once in nine months, while men can impregnate multiple women in a single day.

“Your sister had two babies outside wedlock and is still unmarried” – Twitter user knocks Bella over her recent post

Twitter user knocks

Reality TV star, Bella Okagbue, has come under heavy fire for seemingly accusing Nigerians of being judgmental of people who give birth outside wedlock.

Bella had taken to Twitter to react to news of the engagement of American reality TV star, Molly Mae. She stated that she always thought Molly was already married to her partner, Tommy Fury, as they already have a child together.

 Twitter user knocks

She further stated that if Molly was a Nigerian reality TV star, she would have constantly been dragged to filth for having a child before marriage.

“Wait, molly-mae just got engaged? Why did I think they have been married all this while? So they live together and even have a baby🤪.
She needs to thank God she’s not Nigerian because… lol,”
she tweeted on Monday, July 24.

Her statement didn’t sit well with many, and they didn’t hesitate to criticize her for stereotyping Nigerians.

Some stated that if she desires to live with her partner, Sheggz, without getting married, she should proceed without passing judgment on other Nigerians.

A particular Twitter user brought up the case of Bella’s sister, Sandra Okagbue, who has two children with singer Flavour without being married to him, and pointed out that she hasn’t faced the level of criticism Bella suggested.

“But your sister had two babies outside wedlock and is still unmarried and nobody beat her . If that’s what you want to do go ahead and stop disturbing us”, she tweeted.

Reacting to this, a Twitter user, who is apparently not a fan of Vee, commented that there were rumors circulating that she is an escort.

“Dem say you be olosho,” the Twitter user wrote.

However, Vee quickly responded that she’s not the one being referred to but rather another person with the same nickname, Venita Akpofure, who happens to be her ex-lover’s cousin.

Vee’s comment about Venita didn’t sit well with a number of social media users, who berated her for it.

In her defense, Vee stated that she doesn’t care, as Venita has been very mean to her in the past.

“I’m sorry but I don’t care. You don’t know 10% of what that babe did to me. So it’s not your fault. I will do a madness both publicly and privately”, she wrote.

Recall that Vee dated Venita’s cousin, fellow BBNaija star, Neo Akpofure, and throughout their time together, Venita never hid her dislike for Vee.
