If your Infinix GT 50 Pro screen keeps flickering, flashing, blinking, or showing unstable brightness, start with the display settings before assuming the screen is damaged.
The Infinix GT 50 Pro uses a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, so flickering can happen because of refresh rate changes, adaptive brightness, eye-care settings, app bugs, charging problems, overheating, or a software glitch. In some cases, it can also point to display damage.
Here are 10 fixes to try before taking the phone to a service center.
Quick answer
To fix screen flickering on the Infinix GT 50 Pro, restart the phone, lower the refresh rate, turn off adaptive brightness, disable eye-care or dimming features, update XOS and your apps, then test the phone in Safe Mode.
If the screen still flickers in Safe Mode, during boot, or even after a reset, the problem may be hardware-related. In that case, contact Infinix support or visit an authorized service center.

Why is my Infinix GT 50 Pro screen flickering?
Your Infinix GT 50 Pro screen may flicker because of display settings, software bugs, app conflicts, heat, charging issues, or physical damage.
The most common causes are:
High refresh rate mode
Adaptive brightness
Eye-care or color adjustment settings
Low brightness on AMOLED screens
A buggy app or game
Outdated XOS software
Overheating during gaming or charging
Damaged charger or cable
Recent drop, pressure, or water exposure
A failing display panel
Start with the easiest fixes below.
1. Restart your Infinix GT 50 Pro
A restart is the first thing to try because it clears temporary software glitches.
Press and hold the Power button.
Tap Restart.
Wait for the phone to turn back on.
Use the phone normally for a few minutes.
Check if the screen still flickers.
This is especially useful if the flickering started after opening a game, switching apps, changing brightness, or installing an update.
2. Change the screen refresh rate
The Infinix GT 50 Pro has a high refresh rate display. That is good for gaming and smooth scrolling, but refresh rate switching can sometimes cause visible flicker.
Go to Settings.
Tap Display and brightness.
Look for Refresh rate, Screen refresh rate, or Motion smoothness.
Switch from the highest setting to Standard or 60Hz.
Restart the phone.
Check if the flickering stops.
If the screen becomes stable at 60Hz, the issue may be linked to refresh rate switching, a specific app, or a software bug.
You can later switch back to a higher refresh rate after updating the phone.
3. Turn off adaptive brightness
Adaptive brightness changes the screen brightness automatically based on lighting around you. If the sensor or software keeps adjusting too aggressively, the screen may look like it is flickering.
Go to Settings.
Tap Display and brightness.
Turn off adaptive brightness.
Set brightness manually to around 40 to 60 percent.
Test the phone indoors and outdoors.
This fix is worth trying if the flicker is more noticeable when moving between bright and dark areas.
4. Disable Eye Care, dark mode, and extra display effects
Eye-care filters, color temperature changes, dark mode, and dimming features can affect how the screen looks, especially on AMOLED displays.
Go to Settings.
Tap Display and brightness.
Turn off Eye Care or Eye Comfort.
Turn off any extra dimming or color adjustment option.
Switch dark mode off temporarily.
Restart the phone.
Now check the screen again.
If the flicker stops, turn the features back on one by one. This helps you find which setting is causing the issue.
5. Update your phone software
A display flicker can be caused by a system bug. Since the Infinix GT 50 Pro runs XOS, software updates may include display, graphics, touch, gaming, and stability fixes.
Go to Settings.
Scroll to System.
Tap System update or Software update.
Download and install any available update.
Restart the phone after updating.
Do not interrupt the update while it is installing.
If the flicker started right after an update, give the phone a little time to settle, then continue with the next fixes.
6. Update or reinstall the problem app
If the screen flickers only when using one app, the phone screen may not be the real problem. The app may be causing the flicker.
This often happens with:
Games
Video apps
Camera apps
Social media apps
Screen recorder apps
Launchers
Wallpaper apps
Apps with overlays
Open Google Play Store.
Search for the app.
Tap Update if available.
Restart the phone.
Open the app again.
If it still flickers, uninstall the app and install it again.
For games, also try lowering the graphics settings, frame rate, shadows, and visual effects.
7. Boot into Safe Mode
Safe Mode helps you check whether a downloaded app is causing the screen flickering.
Press and hold the Power button.
Touch and hold Power off.
Tap Safe Mode when it appears.
Wait for the phone to restart.
Use the phone for a few minutes.
In Safe Mode, third-party apps are disabled.
If the screen does not flicker in Safe Mode, a downloaded app is likely causing the problem. Restart the phone normally, then remove recently installed apps one by one.
Start with launchers, cleaner apps, battery saver apps, screen filter apps, game boosters, and wallpaper apps.
If the screen still flickers in Safe Mode, the issue may be deeper than a normal app conflict.
8. Check your charger, cable, and power source
Screen flickering while charging can happen when the charger, cable, outlet, or power bank is unstable. It can also happen if the phone gets hot while charging.
Unplug the charger.
Check if the flicker stops.
Try another USB-C cable.
Try another compatible charger.
Plug into a wall outlet instead of a power bank.
Remove the case if the phone feels warm.
Avoid gaming while charging.
If flickering happens only with one charger or cable, stop using that accessory.
A poor-quality charger can cause heat, touch issues, unstable brightness, or charging interruptions.
9. Let the phone cool down
The Infinix GT 50 Pro is a gaming-focused phone, but heat can still affect display behavior, performance, brightness, and refresh rate.
Stop gaming or recording video.
Remove the case.
Close heavy apps.
Turn off hotspot.
Stop charging for a while.
Place the phone in a cool, dry area.
Do not put it in a refrigerator or freezer.
After the phone cools down, check if the screen still flickers.
If the issue only appears during heavy gaming, lower the graphics settings and frame rate. You can also test with Game Mode turned off temporarily.
10. Reset display settings or factory reset the phone
Try this only after the easier fixes.
First, reset display-related settings manually:
Turn off adaptive brightness.
Set refresh rate to standard.
Disable Eye Care.
Use the default theme.
Remove live wallpapers.
Disable third-party launchers.
Restart the phone.
If the flicker continues and you suspect a software problem, back up your files before doing a factory reset.
Go to Settings.
Tap System.
Tap Reset options.
Choose Factory data reset.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
A factory reset deletes your personal files, apps, photos, and settings from the phone, so back up everything important first.
If the screen still flickers after a factory reset, it is likely a hardware issue.
When should you contact Infinix support?
Contact Infinix support or visit an authorized service center if:
The screen flickers even in Safe Mode
The flicker appears during boot
The display flashes green, white, or purple
The screen flickers after a drop
There are lines, black spots, or ghost touches
The phone got wet
The screen flickers even after a factory reset
The phone is still under warranty
Do not open the phone yourself unless you know what you are doing. You may damage the display further or void the warranty.
FAQ
Why does my Infinix GT 50 Pro screen flicker at low brightness?
Low-brightness flicker can happen on some AMOLED screens because of the way brightness is controlled. Try raising the brightness slightly, turning off adaptive brightness, and disabling Eye Care mode.
Can a software update fix screen flickering?
Yes. If the flicker is caused by a display driver, graphics bug, app conflict, or XOS issue, a software update can help.
Why does the screen flicker only when gaming?
Gaming can trigger high refresh rate, high brightness, high GPU load, and heat. Lower the game graphics, reduce frame rate, close background apps, and let the phone cool down.
