The Infinix GT 30 Pro is a new mid-range gaming smartphone that brings several high-end features to a more affordable segment. It stands out with a 144 Hz AMOLED display, dedicated gaming triggers, a bold LED-lit design, and the power of the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset. This review takes a closer look at the device across all key aspects — design, display, performance, cameras, battery life, and software — to assess how well it performs both in gaming and in everyday use.
The GT 30 Pro follows the Cyber Mecha Design 2.0 language, clearly aimed at gamers with its aggressive styling. On the right side sit two capacitive shoulder triggers that can be mapped for in-game actions, turning the phone into a quasi-gamepad.
Despite the gamer-focused look, the phone remains relatively slim at around 8 mm thick and weighs 188 g. The build feels solid, although the body is made of plastic — a typical compromise in this price class. The device also carries an IP64 rating against dust and splashes, meaning it can withstand rain but should not be submerged. Overall, the design balances flashy aesthetics with comfort, making it practical for long sessions without excessive fatigue.
One of the highlights is its 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution (approx. 440 ppi) and an impressive 144 Hz refresh rate. This makes animations fluid and gaming responsive. Brightness peaks at around 1,600 nits typical and up to 4,500 nits in HDR, ensuring good visibility outdoors. With 100% DCI-P3 coverage and 10-bit color depth, visuals appear vivid and accurate.
Eye protection is handled via reduced blue-light emission and 2,304 Hz PWM dimming, TÜV Rheinland certified. The flat screen avoids accidental touches and is convenient for applying screen protectors.
For sound, the GT 30 Pro has stereo speakers with DTS support. Volume is loud, enhancing immersion in games and movies. However, audio quality is average, with limited bass and detail compared to flagship systems. For better sound, users will likely rely on headphones. Note that there is no 3.5 mm jack — wired headphones require an adapter, or wireless alternatives are needed.
Powering the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate (4 nm), with an octa-core CPU (1× Cortex-A715 @ 3.35 GHz, 3× Cortex-A715 @ 3.2 GHz, 4× Cortex-A510 @ 2.2 GHz) and a Mali-G615 MP6 GPU.
In AnTuTu benchmarks, the device scores around 1.3–1.4 million points, outperforming Snapdragon 7-series phones and approaching last year’s flagships. Everyday performance is smooth: apps load quickly, the interface runs without stutter, and demanding games are handled with ease.
Infinix claims support for 120 FPS in many games and up to 144 FPS in select titles. In practice, the highest frame rates are achieved in lighter esports games, while heavier ones like PUBG Mobile run at up to 120 FPS.
Memory options include 8 or 12 GB LPDDR5X RAM, expandable virtually, plus UFS 4.0 storage of 256 or 512 GB. There’s no microSD slot, but the internal storage should be ample. The phone runs Android 15 with XOS 15.
Cooling is handled by an enlarged vapor chamber, designed to maintain stable performance during extended gaming. While heat is noticeable under heavy load, the Bypass Charging 2.0 feature reduces battery strain by powering the phone directly from the charger during gameplay, lowering temperature and extending battery life.
Unlike many gaming phones, the GT 30 Pro offers competitive cameras for its class. The main sensor is 108 MP, producing 12 MP binned shots with strong detail and natural colors in good light. It supports 4K video at 60 fps.
The 8 MP ultra-wide camera with a 111.4° field of view doubles as a macro thanks to autofocus, though resolution limits detail. Results are fine in daylight but noisy at night. On the front, a 13 MP selfie camera sits in a punch-hole, performing well for video calls and social media.
The GT 30 Pro houses a 5,500 mAh battery, larger than average, and paired with Dimensity’s efficiency, it ensures solid endurance. Heavy use lasts a full day; moderate use can stretch to two.
It supports 45 W fast charging, reaching 50% in about 20–25 minutes and full charge in just over an hour. The Bypass Charging feature helps prevent overheating during gaming sessions while plugged in.
Running on Android 15 with XOS 15, the interface is feature-rich, offering themes, multitasking, a sidebar, and a dedicated Game Mode with AI tools. Performance tuning per game, notification control, and built-in utilities are included.
The UI is responsive, though somewhat cluttered with preinstalled apps and service notifications. However, aggressive ads are absent, and the customization options give users flexibility.
The Infinix GT 30 Pro positions itself as a well-rounded gaming smartphone with a strong price-to-performance ratio. It offers a sharp 144 Hz AMOLED display, responsive gaming triggers, a large battery with fast charging, and capable hardware that ensures high FPS in popular titles.
Its compromises are predictable: cameras are decent but not flagship-level, heavy gaming can cause heat buildup, and missing features like a microSD slot or headphone jack may deter some. Still, for its category, the GT 30 Pro delivers exactly what matters most: performance, display quality, controls, and cooling.
Infinix clearly targeted mobile gamers, and the result is a phone that feels like a «legal cheat code» for its price class — a reliable daily driver that doubles as a gaming machine without draining your wallet.
