This is the Infinix GT 30 Pro that we been testing for around two weeks now. Right now, there are just so many performance-centric phones in the NPR 50,000 price segment that when I read the specs of the GT 30 Pro, I was like, well, that’s nothing special!
But after testing it, I discovered a lot of features that are actually quite underrated here. At the same time, there are a couple of areas where I feel Infinix definitely could have done better, and I’ll explain all of that in detail in this video.

Infinix GT 30 Pro Review
Performance
Okay!! First of all, since the Infinix GT 30 Pro is a gaming-centric phone, let me talk about its gaming capabilities. Here we get a Dimensity 8350 chipset, which is one of the most powerful chipsets we get in its price range. Yes, there’s Poco X7 Pro with a more powerful Dimensity 8400 chip, but the gaming performance here is really good too.
Especially for PUBG or BGMI players, Infinix has collaborated with Krafton to ensure this phone delivers a smooth gaming experience. The phone supports 120 fps in PUBG (not by any kind of frame interpolation, but raw 120 fps), and I was able to get an average of 118 fps with good stability on this phone.
Likewise, if you are someone who enjoys playing Mobile Legends, this phone also supports 120fps. Additionally, heavier games like Genshin Impact run smoothly at the highest settings and in 60fps mode.
I do have to mention that while playing games, I did experience this phone getting quite warm, up to 44 degrees in some instances, but again, the performance does not throttle, and stability in games doesn’t drop as much, so it’s kind of a bittersweet situation here.
And the GT 30 Pro also has a couple of underrated gaming features, like you can get gaming accessories like this fan that you can use to keep the thermals in check. Please note that you will need to purchase it separately, but still you have the option!
Then the phone itself has these two capacitive buttons with haptic feedback on the right side of the phone, which you can assign in-game functions like scope or shooting in games.
It’s not something everybody would appreciate, but it’s a cool feature to have for gaming enthusiasts. Plus, you can remap these buttons to other functions, such as opening the camera, muting the phone and all too, which is quite cool.
Design
And the phone itself has a gaming vibe to it. It’s got a boxy flat design, there are LEDs at the back that glow while playing games or when you receive a call or notification, and the overall build quality is quite comfortable to hold, so longer sessions of games do not feel like a muscle exercise on this device.
And now we also get IP64 dust and water resistance, which is better than IP54 we got on the GT 20 Pro. Then again, Poco X7 Pro provides a better IP rating at this price, so maybe Infinix could have done a little better in this aspect.
Display
I don’t have many complaints on the display side, though. The GT 30 Pro comes with a nice-quality screen that’s bright (1400 nits in HBM), is highly responsive to touch, and features good colours and contrast overall.
So, not only is watching videos a great experience here, but games look quite vivid and lively on this phone. You are also getting great stereo speakers with DTS audio that are loud and have crisp trebles. Not to forget, the vibration feedback on it is good too, thanks to an X-Axis motor.
However, the phone does not have HDR video playback support on OTT platforms, so if you are a sucker for watching HDR content on Netflix or such, you might be a little disappointed.
By the way, there is Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front, which has proven to be quite drop resistant in my use, but we all know that it is not very scratch resistant, so be sure to put in a nice screen protector once the in-built one wears off.
Battery
Anyway, one of the things I was hoping this year’s GT 30 Pro would bring is a large Silicone Carbon battery but for some reason, the company has decided to stick with the old-fashioned 5200 mAh Lithium-Ion battery. As a result, I was only getting a max of 7 hours of Screen on Time with this phone, that too in normal to moderate kind of use.
These days, phones at a similar price have 7000 mAh batteries, and I have to say I really did miss that kind of endurance on this phone.
Yeah, you do get features like Bypass charging here that power the processor directly while you plug in and play, but normally, connecting the charger all the time is not very convenient.
By the way, the charger inside the box provides 45-watt charging support, which fully charges the phone in around an hour. (30% in 15 minutes, 50% in 28 minutes and 100% in 1 hour 7 minutes).
Software
On a different note, I am actually happy with the software experience on this phone. Infinix has come a long way when it comes to the software. I mean, I didn’t face any issues in the UI, no stutters or anything like that and the experience is actually cleaner than what you get with IQOO and Poco phones.
There are hardly 3-4 bloatware apps here which can be uninstalled, and there are no secret hidden ads embedded in system apps, so that’s great too.
In Fact, Infinix has taken inspiration from Apple, and you get a dynamic island-like feature on the notch. It functions quite smoothly while you get calls or set a timer, etc.
Infinix has also included some AI features here. There’s a dedicated Deepseek Integration, they have their own AI voice assistant called Folax, and there are all the basic AI tools like circle to search, call summary, AI wallpaper generation, etc, too.
The only thing I would complain about the software is less number of OS updates, 2+3 years is quite the average commitment when you put it against the competition.
Camera
And something else that’s only average is the camera performance on this device. It is a gaming phone, so I wasn’t expecting top-notch cameras in the first place; hence, I wasn’t exactly disappointed, but there is still a tiny bit of optimization still needed for the cameras to work better.
For example, I found the phone messing up the white balance quite often, especially in well-lit situations. The highlight roll-off could be a little better, too.
It has a 108MP primary sensor, so the details in photos are quite good, the sharpness is there, and I found it maintains better dynamic range than the Poco X7 Pro, which is great.
In fact, Infinix maintains better contrast in images and the subject focus looks slightly better as well.
Also, the selfie camera on this phone is quite nice. Take a look at these photos, they have quite a nice skin tone and I love the punchy contrast too.
I am not happy with the way it handles the skin in portraits, though. It looks quite odd and there is visible sharpening going on that kind of makes you look like a painting.
To be fair, even other gaming phones like the Poco X7 Pro do not bring out stunning portraits in comparison, but still, I really hope an update fixes the skin tone issue on this phone.
Also, the ultra-wide camera is only mediocre in terms of colors, details or dynamic range.
The videos are decent enough, though, you can shoot up to 4k 30 fps from the main and the selfie camera with good enough stabilisation. The ultra-wide videos are shaky and have subpar quality, but the main and selfie cameras have a decent, usable output so that I won’t complain much. Overall, if I directly compare it’s cameras with something like the Poco X7 Pro, I wouldn’t say that Infinix is drastically better, they are quite similar, but the GT 30 Pro does better in a few areas.
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Strong gaming performance
- Smooth software, minimal bloatware
- Bright 144Hz AMOLED display
- Fast charging, RGB gaming features
Cons:
- Average battery
- Mediocre cameras
- Gets warm during gaming
-
Limited OS updates
Conclusion:
Okay, so with everything we have discussed so far, is the Infinix GT 30 Pro a good gaming phone under NPR 47,999 I would say it’s one of the good options, but the competition is really tough.
Yes, it does have a solid performance, a nice display and all the gaming-centric features that no other brands provide at this price. But at the same time, I really wish Infinix had included a bigger Si-Carbon battery, more years of OS updates, and better camera optimisation, which would have given it an edge over the competition.
