Infinix Launches XOS 16 on Android 16 With AI Tools, Gaming Upgrades and iPhone Photo Transfer

The software will come on new Infinix phones and roll out to select existing models, but the company has not shared a device list or timeline.

Overview

  • Infinix positions the release as an AI‑first overhaul, adding Folax‑driven features like FlashMemo, Mind Hub content organization, AI Writing assistance and on‑device summaries for notes, calls and recordings.
  • Touch Transfer enables NFC photo sharing to iPhones, including Live Photos, without an internet connection, though it requires a companion app on the Apple device.
  • Battery updates include Bypass Charging to reduce heat during heavy use and a Video Battery Saver mode, alongside a company‑claimed Battery Self‑Repair feature said to slow degradation, which has not been independently verified.
  • Gaming features expand with frame interpolation, voice commands, performance modes and an updated Magic Voice Changer for in‑game chat.
  • XOS 16 introduces a refined Glow‑space design with faster animations, new icons, wallpapers and lock‑screen options, plus an AI theme generator that builds custom looks from text or images.
