If you told me a couple of years ago that Infinix would launch a proper gaming smartphone with specs that could rival big brands, I would’ve laughed. But here we are — the Infinix GT 30 Pro has landed, and it’s shaking things up in the mid-range segment. I got my hands on it recently, and as a tech enthusiast and gamer, I have to say… this device truly surprised me.
Gaming Vibes from the First Look
Let’s start with the design. One glance and you’ll know this is no ordinary phone. The Dark Flare variant has that aggressive gamer vibe with RGB lighting on the back, while the Blade White version keeps it a bit more classy with white lights. The RGB lights aren’t just for show — they pulse while gaming and charging, adding flair without being too flashy.
The phone feels solid at 192 grams, and those thin bezels make the screen pop even more. And speaking of the screen…
Display That Screams Premium
The 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display is an absolute stunner. With a 144Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, gaming and media consumption feel incredibly smooth and vibrant. Add to that Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection and IP64 certification, and you’re getting durability to match the looks.
One feature I didn’t expect in this range? Low Blue Light certification. It’s a small touch, but it shows Infinix is thinking about the user experience long-term, not just throwing specs on paper.
Powerhouse Performance with a Twist
Here’s where things get interesting — under the hood, the GT 30 Pro packs the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chip. Infinix claims it’s the first phone in the world to feature this processor, built on a 4nm process. And let me tell you, it flies.
Gaming on this phone feels flagship-level smooth. With up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, and a 5400mm² vapor cooling chamber, I didn’t notice any heating or lag, even while playing heavy titles like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile on max settings.
The AnTuTu score crosses 1.45 million, which is wild for this price. Software-wise, it runs on XOS 15 based on Android 15, and Infinix promises 2 years of major Android updates and 3 years of security patches — again, not something you’d expect at ₹24,999.
Cameras That Don’t Disappoint
Now, this isn’t a camera-centric phone, but it still delivers. The 108MP main camera takes solid shots in daylight with good detail and contrast. The 8MP ultrawide is average but usable, while the 13MP selfie shooter performs decently for social media needs. It’s not going to beat flagship camera phones, but it won’t let you down either.
Battery and Charging: Solid Combo
Battery life has been impressive so far. The 5500mAh battery easily got me through a day of heavy use — gaming, videos, and social media included. Charging is also flexible, with 45W wired and surprisingly, 30W wireless charging — which is rare in this segment.
Final Verdict: Game-Changer in Budget Gaming? Absolutely.
For ₹24,999 (and even less with bank discounts), the Infinix GT 30 Pro feels like a gift to mobile gamers and performance lovers. RGB lighting, top-tier display, a powerful processor, decent cameras, and wireless charging — Infinix has covered almost everything.
Sure, the brand doesn’t yet have the legacy of OnePlus or Xiaomi, but with phones like this, Infinix is building a name for itself — fast. If gaming is your top priority and you want flagship features without burning a hole in your wallet, this is the phone to get.
