In a crowded smartphone market where flagship features often come with flagship prices, the Infinix GT 30 Pro steps in as a refreshing contender aimed squarely at mobile gamers and performance enthusiasts. Packing powerful hardware, a vibrant 120Hz AMOLED display, and gamer-centric features like shoulder triggers and advanced cooling, this device promises to deliver high-octane gaming experiences without breaking the bank. But does it really live up to the hype? Let’s dive in and find out.
Design & Display: Flashy Yet Functional
Right out of the box, the Infinix GT 30 Pro makes a bold impression. Unlike typical budget phones that play it safe, this one screams gamer DNA—and wears it proudly. Inspired by cyber-mechanical aesthetics, the phone sports a sharp, angular rear panel with an RGB lighting strip that’s more than just for show. It reacts to calls, music, charging, and even gaming events—creating a cool, immersive experience, especially in low-light settings.
Available in two eye-catching colors—Dark Flare and Blade White—the back panel features a glass-like finish with a textured pattern that resists fingerprints while adding a premium touch. Despite its aggressive design language, the device doesn’t feel bulky or awkward. It’s surprisingly lightweight for a gaming-focused phone, with a balanced weight distribution that makes long gaming sessions more comfortable.
Display: Smooth, Bright, and Responsive
The GT 30 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display offering FHD+ resolution and peak brightness of 1300 nits. But where it truly shines is the 144Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, which are ideal for fast-paced gaming and quick reactions. Whether you're aiming headshots in BGMI or scrolling social media, the screen feels ultra-responsive.
Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep (thanks to AMOLED), and the brightness makes it very usable even under direct sunlight. Media consumption is enjoyable with great contrast and fluid animations.
Performance: Optimized for Hardcore Gaming
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate SoC and paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM (with 12GB virtual RAM expansion), the GT 30 Pro performs like a champ. From casual games to demanding titles like Call of Duty Mobile, Free Fire Max, and BGMI, everything runs at 120 FPS with consistent frame rates.
The highlight? Segment-first GT Shoulder Triggers. These are physical, not touch-based, and genuinely enhance the gameplay experience. Combined with the X-Arena gaming engine, customizable LED effects, and real-time GPU stats, it’s clear Infinix took mobile gaming seriously.
Cooling & Battery: Long Sessions, No Heat Drama
Even during extended gameplay, the phone stays cool thanks to the 14,000 mm² VC liquid cooling system and multi-layer graphene. Thermal throttling is barely noticeable, which is rare at this price point.
Battery life is also dependable. The 5,000mAh battery easily powers through a day of mixed usage, and even heavy gaming doesn’t drain it alarmingly fast. When it does need juice, the 45W fast charging gets it back to 100% in about an hour.
Camera: Not Just an Afterthought
While not its main selling point, the 108MP main camera performs decently in daylight with good dynamic range and sharpness. Low-light shots are okay, though not flagship-level. The 32MP front camera delivers clear selfies and supports 2K video recording—good enough for streamers and content creators on the go.
Software & Daily Use
Running on XOS 14 based on Android 14, the UI is cleaner than previous Infinix iterations. There are some preloaded apps, but they can be disabled or uninstalled. Features like AI wallpaper generation, auto pixelation for sensitive data in screenshots, and the new Folax AI assistant show Infinix’s attempt to bring in some smart utility. Face unlock and in-display fingerprint work reliably, and overall navigation is smooth, with zero lags in day-to-day usage.

Telecom Today Verdict
If you're a mobile gamer or someone who loves powerful phones with flashy designs, the GT 30 Pro is a no-brainer under ₹30K. It nails the performance part with the Dimensity 8350 Ultimate, delivers a true 120FPS experience, and backs it up with features like shoulder triggers, vapor cooling, and AI-powered software.

Overall, it delivers exceptional value and performance that rivals many higher-priced competitors and we give it 4 stars out of 5.
