Infinix has officially announced the launch of its Note 50 series in Indonesia on March 3, 2025. As per the brand’s usual strategy, the new mid-range smartphones are expected to expand to global markets soon, including India. While official details about the devices are still scarce, a GSMArena report suggests that Infinix may integrate DeepSeek R1, a Chinese AI chatbot, into its Folax voice assistant. This move could position Infinix as one of the first smartphone brands to incorporate advanced reasoning AI models into its ecosystem.
Infinix Note 50 Series: AI-Powered Features Expected
A teaser video for the Note 50 series hints at an Infinix AI feature, though it doesn’t specify what it entails. However, reports indicate that Infinix is planning to integrate DeepSeek R1 with its Folax voice assistant, enhancing its ability to handle search queries and voice commands more efficiently.
Currently, Folax utilizes Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI APIs to support GPT-3.5-based language processing. However, many users have found its ability to handle complex queries somewhat lacking. If DeepSeek R1 is successfully integrated, it could significantly improve Infinix AI capabilities, putting it in competition with the likes of Google’s Gemini and Apple’s Siri (powered by ChatGPT).

What is DeepSeek R1? How Could It Benefit Infinix?
DeepSeek R1 is a Chinese AI reasoning model designed to mimic human-like thinking and handle complex tasks such as:
- Coding
- Scientific reasoning
- Multi-step AI planning
Unlike pre-trained models such as GPT-4o or Gemini 2.0, reasoning models like DeepSeek R1 aim to analyze and process tasks more intelligently, making them more adaptive and accurate.
One of DeepSeek R1’s biggest advantages is that it is completely free and open-source, making it an attractive option for smartphone manufacturers looking to incorporate AI into their software. If Infinix successfully integrates DeepSeek R1, it would be the first smartphone brand to implement this AI chatbot directly into a mobile voice assistant.
When Will Infinix Confirm DeepSeek R1 Integration?
According to reports, Infinix is expected to officially confirm the integration of DeepSeek R1 in the Note 50 series on February 26, 2025.
We have reached out to Infinix for further details and will update this article if we receive an official response.
