Product Review: Infinix GT 30 Pro

The smartphone gaming scene in India just got a serious contender with the launch of the Infinix GT 30 Pro. Built from the ground up for esports enthusiasts, this device isn’t just a flashy budget gaming phone—it delivers where it truly matters: performance, design, and user-centric features.

In this review, we will dive deep into how the Infinix GT 30 Pro performs in real-world usage—covering everything from gaming capabilities and display quality to battery life, thermal performance, camera output, and software features. Let’s get started by exploring what sets the GT 30 Pro apart in India’s increasingly competitive mid-range gaming smartphone segment.

Design and Build

The phone sports a bold Cyber Mecha 2.0 design, which instantly catches the eye. Two color options are available — Dark Flare, featuring vibrant RGB LED lighting, and Blade White, with more subtle white LED accents. The customizable lighting effects add a personalized touch, syncing with music or charging status, which makes the device stand out in a sea of similar-looking gaming phones. Beyond aesthetics, the phone feels solid and well-built, designed for long gaming sessions.

Display: Bright and Smooth

Equipped with a 1.5K AMOLED display, the GT 30 Pro delivers vibrant colors and sharp details. The standout feature here is the 144Hz refresh rate paired with a 2160Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, which makes scrolling, gaming, and general navigation incredibly smooth and responsive. With a peak brightness of 4500 nits, outdoor visibility is excellent, even under harsh sunlight. For eye comfort, TÜV Rheinland certification and advanced PWM dimming help reduce strain during extended usage.

Performance: Powerhouse Under the Hood

This model is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate processor — currently the world’s first with this chipset. Performance is impressive, with a reported 1.5 million-plus AnTuTu score, indicating strong CPU and GPU capabilities. Combined with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, the phone effortlessly handles demanding games and multitasking. The high clock speed and Mali-G615 GPU ensure smooth graphics rendering with minimal lag.

Gaming Features: Designed for Esports

What truly sets the GT 30 Pro apart are the innovative GT Shoulder Triggers. These capacitive buttons offer tactile feedback similar to a console controller and can be customized for game controls or even shortcuts outside of gaming (like opening apps or camera control). This keeps the display clean while giving gamers a clear edge in fast-paced titles.

The phone also includes a dedicated Esports Mode powered by XBoost AI, which optimizes system resources, blocks distractions, and prioritizes network stability. Speaking of which, network enhancements automatically manage Wi-Fi and mobile data switching to maintain low latency during gameplay — a vital feature for competitive play.

Cooling and Battery Life

Heat management has been thoughtfully addressed with an improved 6-layer 3D vapor chamber cooling system. This setup reportedly removes heat 20% more efficiently than its predecessor, allowing the phone to maintain peak performance during marathon gaming sessions.

Battery life is another highlight. A large 5500mAh battery supports up to 45W fast charging, with the ability to go from zero to full in under an hour. The Bypass Charging feature helps reduce heat buildup while charging during gameplay. Wireless charging is supported at 30W, adding convenience for users who prefer cable-free power-ups.

Camera: Versatile and Capable

Beyond gaming, the GT 30 Pro doubles as a capable shooter. The main camera is a 108MP sensor accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens. The front camera clocks in at 13MP, capable of 4K video recording at 30fps. AI-powered features like AI Eraser and AI Cutout assist in editing photos directly on the phone, offering an enjoyable photography experience.

Software and Extras

Running on XOS 15, based on Android 15, the phone offers smooth navigation and plenty of customization options. The inclusion of Infinix AI adds smart assistants like Folax (a voice assistant), AI Note, and a writing assistant, making the device feel more interactive and intuitive beyond just gaming.

Additional handy features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, face unlock, dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res audio, NFC for contactless payments, and an IR sensor for remote controls. The IP64 rating provides decent dust and splash resistance, a welcome addition for durability.
