Infinix GT 30 Pro Review: Built Like A Gamer, Styled Like A Cyborg

Infinix GT 30 Pro Review: Trigger-happy fingers, rejoice. Infinix just dropped a smartphone that screams “esports ready” louder than your squadmate’s mic when they spot an enemy. The GT 30 Pro is here, and it’s not just flexing shoulder triggers — it’s bringing the full tournament-grade arsenal to your palms. If your idea of a perfect Saturday includes a three-hour BGMI sesh, RGB lighting that pulses to your playlist, and a device that stays cool under fire (literally), the Infinix GT 30 Pro is your new pit stop. Tuned for 120FPS performance, backed by Krafton’s seal of approval, and styled like a futuristic mech warrior, this one’s built for battle — without busting your budget.
Infinix’s mission with the GT 30 Pro is rather simple. Bring ROG-level gaming-bells-and-whistles to budget gamers. At a starting price of Rs 24,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, or Rs 26,999 for the 12GB + 256GB beast that we reviewed, the GT 30 is competing with budget gaming options such as the Realme P3 Pro or the iQOO Z10, but punching way above its weight class.

<h2 data-start=”852″ data-end=”896″>MediaTek Goes Full Throttle</h2>

Smartphone brands love hailing “world’s first” achievements. The GT 30 Pro is no stranger to that. At the heart of the phone is the ‘world’s first’ MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate processor, clocked at up to 3.35GHz and pushing an impressive 1.5 million+ AnTuTu score.
Add 24GB RAM (with virtual boost) and UFS 4.0 storage, and you’ve got a handheld speed machine that chews through game loads, multitasking, and AI tasks with ease. The integrated MAGT (MediaTek HyperEngine Adaptive Gaming Tech) ensures 24% faster game scene transitions.
TL;DR? No more lag deaths. Just smooth, unbroken domination. I tried pushing the phone to its breaking point with RAM-devouring games such as CoD: Mobile or PUBG. Happy to report that apart from slight warmth at the bottom of the rear panel after nearly 30 minutes of continuous gaming, there were no bellyaches. 
Packing a 6-layer 3D Vapor Chamber Cooling System, the GT 30 Pro boasts 20% better heat removal than its predecessor. Whether you’re grinding ranked matches or just binge-scrolling, thermal throttling doesn’t enter the chat.
Pair that with Bypass Charging — which diverts power directly to the motherboard to reduce heat by up to 4.5°C — and you’ve got marathon-gaming comfort.
<h2 data-start=”1430″ data-end=”1474″>Shoulder Triggers That Click With Gamers</h2>
<img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2025/06/03/c2c8a7c4acabe0547afe208275d2503f1748941188273402_original.jpg” width=”720″ />
The GT Shoulder Triggers are a game-changer — literally. Whether you’re sniping from the roof in CoD or boosting your turbo in Asphalt, these capacitive buttons bring console-like responsiveness to mobile.
Bonus: You can map them for non-gaming stuff too — think camera shutters, media playback, even launching apps. A single long press and boom, flashlight on. It’s like giving your phone muscle memory.
See, let’s be real here. At Rs 23k, you cannot expect an Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro or a Black Shark 5 Pro, which are easily over a lakh and a half. However, the GT 30 Pro is bringing all them big boy toys (shoulder triggers, RGB LEDs) to your local bike store, and I see no issues in that. 
<h2 data-start=”1908″ data-end=”1944″>No Ghosting, Just Glory</h2>
<img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2025/06/03/2d96b60b18a5ac695e29639fe3db7bc11748941278902402_original.jpg” width=”720″ />
144Hz refresh rate? Check. 1.5K AMOLED resolution? Yep. 4500nits peak brightness? That’s practically a spotlight. Whether you’re camping under the sun or fragging enemies in dim-lit rooms, the 6.78-inch AMOLED display doesn’t flinch.
With 2160Hz touch sampling and 2304Hz PWM dimming, the screen’s not just smooth and vivid — it’s gentle on the eyes too. TÜV certified and Gorilla Glass 7i-protected, it’s built to play hard and last long.
A 5500mAh battery with 45W wired and 30W wireless charging? Sweet. But wait — there’s also reverse charging (10W wired, 5W wireless) and bypass mode to keep things cool during power plays.
Charge from nought to full in under an hour and still have juice left for one more raid. Or three.
<h2 data-start=”2415″ data-end=”2458″>Cyber Mecha 2.0 Is a Whole Mood</h2>
<img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2025/06/03/47b1d9e5f994622a3a6b47bbebcd31c91748941656078402_original.jpg” width=”720″ />
You can’t not talk about the Cyber Mecha 2.0 design — all sharp lines, futuristic panels, and yes, customisable LED lighting. The Dark Flare variant screams gamer with RGB patterns, while Blade White tones it down with sleek white lights. We reviewed the former, and those RGB blinkers do look good in low-light settings. Yes, they somewhat follow the beats of your music, and it’s pretty good fun for those who like to show off their phone rather than it being a statement of utility.
Lighting reacts to events like charging, gaming, or music playback. So yes, your phone now vibes with you.
The X-axis linear motor delivers tight haptic feedback, whether you’re landing a headshot or typing out a WhatsApp text. The 6-axis gyroscope ensures smoother orientation and better in-game motion tracking — great for racing and FPS games.
Speakers? Dual stereo setup with DTS enhancement. Loud, crisp, and positional — just how you want it mid-fight.
Based on Android 15, XOS 15 brings customisation galore — from icon styles to animation effects. But it’s the AI features that really stand out:
<ul>
<li data-start=”4208″ data-end=”4252″>Folax AI Assistant handles voice tasks</li>
<li data-start=”4255″ data-end=”4307″>AI Note & Writing Assistant are handy for work</li>
<li data-start=”4310″ data-end=”4365″>AI Eraser and Cutout jazz up your social media game</li>
</ul>
Add two OS upgrades and three years of security patches, and you’re set for the long haul.
<h2 data-start=”4472″ data-end=”4504″>Camera? Not The Star, But You Aren’t Here For It</h2>
<img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2025/06/03/7ce2cd995f15fb1e8b6354cd10a0b4701748941438892402_original.jpg” width=”720″ />
The 108MP rear shooter (plus 8MP ultra-wide) holds its own in daylight shots. The 13MP front cam is passable for selfies and streams. And the AI tools like Extender, Eraser, and Cutout bring fun into the frame. I did have some fun with the Extender feature, enlarging my camera shots to see what AI thinks up next.
But, you are not here for the camera. You are here for the SoC muscles and RGB lightings. So, best not to expect much from the GT 30 Pro in terms of optics.
<h2 data-start=”4765″ data-end=”4798″>Infinix GT 30 Pro Review: Final Verdict</h2>
<img src=”https://feeds.abplive.com/onecms/images/uploaded-images/2025/06/03/d924883f534c7e4ca40ac3b3958de1ee1748941004995402_original.jpg” width=”720″ />
Infinix GT 30 Pro is unapologetically gamer-first — and that’s its superpower. It nails the essentials (performance, display, cooling, battery), adds thoughtful extras (shoulder triggers, LED bling), and wraps it in a design that demands attention.
At a price point where most phones are still stuck debating 90Hz vs 120Hz, this one’s running 144Hz and flashing RGB.
If your phone is your console and your battleground, this one’s worth putting on your wishlist. Or in your pocket.
