The Infinix GT 30 Pro is a great choice for budget-conscious mobile gamers. At Rs 24,999, it offers smooth gameplay, handy shoulder triggers and a flashy gamer design. While the battery life is just average and the display favours vibrancy over colour accuracy, these trade-offs are minor given its overall value. If gaming is your priority and you don’t want to spend a fortune, the GT 30 Pro is a strong contender in the mid-range segment.
Mobile gaming has exploded in India over the past few years, and it’s no longer just about playing casually. People are getting competitive, joining tournaments and even building careers around it. As a result, phones are evolving to match this demand, and what was once exclusive to premium gaming phones is now making its way to the mid-range segment. One of the newest entrants trying to make some noise in this space is the Infinix GT 30 Pro.
Starting at Rs 24,999, the Infinix GT 30 Pro promises a lot: 120 FPS gaming, gaming triggers, flashy gamer design and powerful internals. It’s aimed at users who want top-tier performance without breaking the bank. And with Krafton’s official 120 FPS support for BGMI, it already has a big stamp of approval for mobile gamers.
I’ve been using the GT 30 Pro for a few weeks now. So does it live up to all the hype? Let’s break it down in this full review.
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Design
The Infinix GT 30 Pro grabs your attention right away with its bold and eye-catching design. It’s built for gamers, and you can tell just by looking at it. The design, which Infinix calls “Cyber Mecha 2.0,” gives the phone a futuristic, techy look (almost like something straight out of a sci-fi movie). It brings the feel of high-end gaming phones but at a much more affordable price.
The Infinix GT 30 Pro comes in two colours: Blade White and Dark Flare. I received the Dark Flare variant for the review. Let’s talk about the back panel first. This is where all the action happens. It features geometric lines with RGB lighting that make it look like a mini gaming machine. The camera module is neatly placed without taking over the rear panel. The camera module’s symmetrical layout adds to the clean aesthetic, while the subtle Infinix branding ensures the overall design remains the hero.
A standout feature is the GT Shoulder Triggers on the side. These touch-sensitive buttons act like L1 and R1 triggers on a gaming controller, giving you an edge in games like BGMI or racing titles. They’re placed in a way that feels natural to use, and when you’re not gaming, they blend seamlessly into the frame. I’ll talk more about these gaming triggers in the performance section.
Another nice bonus is the IR blaster on top, which lets you control your TV, AC or other appliances. In short, the Infinix GT 30 Pro looks and feels like a true gaming phone.
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Display
The Infinix GT 30 Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. This display panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The Infinix GT 30 Pro delivers on the promise of a bold, vibrant AMOLED panel. The full gamut coverage means that this panel is well-tuned for vibrant visuals when gaming and watching videos and nearly 3,000 nits peak brightness indicates that it thrives in both outdoor usage and gaming sessions.
As per our in-depth testing using Calman, the colours are vivid, but they are not strictly accurate. Reds and yellows are oversaturated, and whites are slightly blue-tinted. It’s a display designed for punch, not precision, and in a phone aimed at gamers and multimedia enthusiasts, that trade-off makes sense.
However, in comparison with phones like the Nothing Phone 3(a) or Moto Edge 60 Fusion, the screen trades natural tone for OLED pop and manual tuning might help improve the colour accuracy, especially the white point.
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Performance
Being a BGMI player myself, I was genuinely excited to test the Infinix GT 30 Pro and it truly lived up to my expectations. The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset, built on a 4nm architecture, paired with the Mali-G615 MC6 GPU. It comes in two variants: 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM with 256GB UFS 4.0 storage. You can also expand the RAM virtually.
In benchmark tests, the GT 30 Pro performs better than many phones in its price range. It scored 13,11,504 on AnTuTu. On Geekbench, it got 1194 in the Single-Core test and 3848 in the Multi-Core test. These numbers put it ahead of smartphones in the similar price range like the Nothing Phone 3(a).
Now, let’s talk about real-world usage, especially gaming. The performance is impressive, both in daily use and while gaming. BGMI ran smoothly even on high graphics settings, consistently delivering 117 FPS on average and occasionally hitting the full 120 FPS. What’s even better is that Krafton has officially certified this phone for 120 FPS BGMI gameplay. Apps load quickly, switching between games and social media is seamless, and there’s no noticeable lag.
I was especially curious about the GT Shoulder Triggers. Since I’m a two-finger player, I wasn’t sure if these would make a real difference. But after setting them up– for example, assigning one trigger to shoot and the other to aim– they turned out to be incredibly useful. The response is quick, with a soft vibration and red-blue visual feedback when pressed.
During long gaming sessions, the phone did heat up, especially after an hour of continuous play. However, the performance didn’t drop or slow down, which means the phone manages heat fairly well.
Overall, the Infinix GT 30 Pro delivers excellent performance for its price. It’s fast, reliable and clearly designed with gamers in mind.
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Camera
Since the GT 30 Pro is clearly focused on gaming, I honestly didn’t expect much from its cameras. But as someone who still values a good camera on their phone, I have to say, I was pretty surprised. Despite being a gaming phone, the camera setup doesn’t disappoint.
You get a dual rear camera system with a 108MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. In good lighting, the primary camera captures sharp and detailed photos. Colours appear fairly natural without going overboard on contrast or saturation. The ultra-wide camera is useful for fitting more into the frame, although there is a slight dip in sharpness compared to the main shooter.
Portrait mode delivers that nice background blur effect. While it handles most shots decently, it can occasionally struggle with edge detection. Still, for everyday portraits and social media use, it gets the job done. Up front, the 13MP selfie camera performs decently in bright conditions. It’s perfectly fine for quick selfies, video calls, or Instagram reels.
Overall, while the GT 30 Pro won’t replace a high-end camera phone, it does a surprisingly good job for a device primarily aimed at gamers. If you’re someone like me who cares about the camera even in a gaming phone, this one strikes a solid balance.
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Battery
The Infinix GT 30 Pro packs a 5,500mAh battery with support for 45W wired charging. In the PCMark battery test, the phone lasted 7 hours and 44 minutes, which is slightly below average compared to other devices in the same price segment. That said, with moderate day-to-day usage, it can easily last up to 1.5 days on a single charge.
To break it down further, the phone lost just 3% of battery during 30 minutes of HDR video streaming. Google Maps, known for being a battery drainer, consumed only 5% during an hour of navigation. During a 15-minute BGMI gaming session, the phone drained 4% which is acceptable.
When it comes to charging, the GT 30 Pro goes from 0 to 100% in about 63 minutes using the 45W wired charger. Additionally, it supports 30W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging. While these wireless options aren’t as fast, they’re a convenient backup when you’re on the go and need a quick top-up.
Verdict
If you’re someone who plays a lot of mobile games, especially titles like BGMI, the Infinix GT 30 Pro is a solid pick for the price. It offers 120 FPS gaming, shoulder triggers for better control, and a design that truly looks and feels like a gaming phone. The display is bright, the performance is fast and reliable, and even the cameras do a good job for everyday use.
Battery life could have been a bit better, and the screen’s colour accuracy isn’t perfect, but these are small trade-offs for what you get overall.
At Rs 24,999, the Infinix GT 30 Pro delivers great value for mobile gamers who want strong performance without spending too much.
