The Infinix GT 30 Pro is not here to be subtle. It’s got shoulder triggers, RGB lighting, and a name that sounds like it just rolled out of a cyberpunk garage. Built unapologetically for gamers on a budget, this phone promises smooth 120fps BGMI gameplay.
The phone is priced at ₹24,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, while the 12GB + 256GB model comes in at ₹26,999. It’s available on Flipkart and stands out as a well-priced gaming-focused phone in this segment. We’ve been testing the GT 30 Pro for over two weeks now, and it’s clear that this isn’t just another budget phone trying to moonlight as a gaming device. It leans into its identity, hard. But it’s not all LED bravado—there are some genuinely thoughtful touches here.
The GT 30 Pro continues Infinix’s “Cyber Mecha Design' language—which is just a fancy way of saying it still looks like it was built in a sci-fi workshop. The unit we tested is the “Blade White” variant, with sharp lines and red accents. Interestingly, there’s a faint Nothing Phone vibe here—not in the execution, but in the intent: bold, geometric, and unapologetically different.
That said, the white model tones things down enough to avoid looking like a walking RGB meme. The back is plastic—Infinix doesn’t specify what kind—but it feels solid, not cheap. The rectangular camera bump houses a dual-camera setup (more on that later), and yes, there’s a light show built into the back. You get pre-set patterns and a single-color LED in the white version (go black if you want the full RGB orchestra), complete with a Party Mode that turns your phone into a pocket-sized rave.
The front is all business: Gorilla Glass 7i covers a large, flat display surrounded by slim bezels. No curves here, which is a win for anyone who’s tried to game on a slippery, edge-detecting mess. The phone feels weighty (191g) in a reassuring way—not too heavy, but dense enough to avoid that hollow budget-phone feel.
One letdown is the IP64 rating. It’s serviceable, but when competitors are creeping into IP68 and IP69 territory, this one’s starting to feel a little behind.
Now for the party trick—shoulder triggers. Real, touch-sensitive ones built right into the frame. They’re not just cosmetic flourishes either; they work. You can remap them for anything—camera shutter, navigation shortcuts—but let’s not kid ourselves: these are made for headshots, not selfies.
In BGMI, the left trigger was set to ADS (aim down sights), the right to fire. The response time was snappy and the haptic feedback was tactile enough to make it feel like you're using an actual controller, minus the bulk. You can also set profiles for different games and dial in trigger sensitivity to match your twitchy reflexes.
But do you really need shoulder triggers to be good at mobile gaming? If you’ve already got god-tier reflexes and a kill/death ratio that’s the stuff of leaderboard legend, probably not. But if you're like me—someone who mostly fumbles through firefights and occasionally forgets which side’s the trigger—then yes, absolutely, I will vouch for these.
In Call of Duty: Mobile, my sniping game went from “accidental quickscope” to “okay, that was actually intentional.” Mapping aim and shoot to the triggers freed up my thumbs and gave me a split-second edge I didn’t know I needed. It’s not quite a full-blown controller experience, but it gets surprisingly close—especially when you’re clutching in the final circle and every tap counts.
Are they a gimmick? Maybe for pros. But for the rest of us, they’re an actual gameplay upgrade.
The only catch is that they’re flush with the frame and lack any textured guide, so your fingers will need some muscle memory training unless you use a case that frames them out properly. Luckily, Infinix includes a semi-transparent TPU case that’s cut to fit the triggers—simple but helpful.
If you want to go full throttle, Infinix offers a beefier bundle called the GT Pro Gaming Kit for Rs 1,199. Inside, you get a hard-shell “MAGCASE” designed with RGB cutouts and a magnetic sweet spot in the center. That’s because it’s built to pair with the MAGCHARGE COOLER, a circular peltier-powered back cooler that attaches magnetically.
The cooler is powered via USB-C and isn’t locked to this phone. Anything with a MagSafe-style magnetic area—including iPhones—should be fair game. And yes, of course it has RGB lighting, because nothing screams “gaming” quite like a device that glows from every angle.
The Infinix GT 30 Pro packs a 6.78-inch 10-bit AMOLED panel with a crisp 1224 x 2720 resolution and a peak brightness of 4500 nits. It’s bright enough to stay readable outdoors and punchy enough indoors, but don’t expect the kind of eye-popping vibrance you get on some phones in this price range. It gets the job done, especially when paired with surprisingly loud and clear stereo speakers.
As for refresh rate, the panel supports up to 144Hz, and it’s technically capable of switching between 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz. In practice, though, it’s a bit of a tease. The settings give you three modes: a basic 60Hz lock, an auto-switching mode that toggles between 60/90/120Hz, and a third one that claims 144Hz. But in our testing, it only ever went up to 120Hz when you’re swiping and scrolling and 60Hz when the phone is idle or playing video.
But even at 120Hz, the panel feels fast and fluid, and crucially—it’s flat. That alone gives it a leg up for gaming, where accidental edge touches on curved screens are a frustratingly real thing. This one just works, no drama.
Now let’s cut to the chase—does the Infinix GT 30 Pro actually deliver where it counts? The short answer: yes, especially if you care about gaming more than synthetic benchmark scores.
Under the hood, you’re getting the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate, paired with either 8GB or 12GB of fast LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Our review unit came with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and while there’s no microSD slot (boo), that’s still a solid setup for the price.
In AnTuTu, it pulled in a score of 1,294,075—not bad, though a few rivals edge past it on raw numbers. To push things further, we ran the GT 30 Pro through the 3DMark Wildlife Extreme Stress Test—a brutal 20-loop GPU torture session designed to simulate extended gaming loads. The phone clocked a best loop score of 2942, with a stability score of 63.2%. That’s… decent. It shows the phone can maintain respectable performance under sustained pressure.
As for actual gameplay, in BGMI, we averaged a buttery-smooth 116.5fps with dips only going as low as 106fps. In Call of Duty Mobile, it held steady at 59.8fps, briefly dipping to 57. Gameplay felt responsive, fast, and consistent—exactly what you want from a phone that markets itself to gamers.
Thermals are also surprisingly well handled. During intense BGMI sessions, it peaked at around 42.7°C. Sounds warm on paper, but in context—especially in the brutal Delhi heat where many phones can break 50°C—that’s actually quite respectable. Call of Duty Mobile ran even cooler, topping out at just 37.2°C.
That heat control is thanks to the GT 30 Pro’s 6-layer 3D Vapor Chamber Cooling System, which Infinix claims improves heat dissipation by 20% over its predecessor. Whether that stat holds up in a lab, who knows—but in real use, the phone never felt uncomfortably hot to hold, even after extended gaming. And that, frankly, matters a lot more than thermals on a spec sheet.
Powering all that gaming goodness is a 5,500mAh battery, and it’s a reliable one.The GT 30 Pro easily delivered 7 hours of screen-on time on regular days when I wasn’t gaming. On heavier days, even with a couple of hours spent in Call of Duty Mobile, it comfortably made it through a full workday without begging for a charger.
Speaking of which, charging is handled via 45W fast wired charging, and yes, the compatible charger is in the box—still a win in 2025, where that's not a guarantee anymore. It’s not breaking any speed records, but it’s far from sluggish. You’ll get around 50% in 30 minutes, and a full charge takes just over an hour. That’s good enough to keep things moving between gaming sessions or binge-watching marathons.
But the best part is that the GT 30 Pro also supports 30W wireless charging. At this price, that’s borderline unheard of. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s reverse wireless charging too—so yes, you can flex by topping up your earbuds or someone else’s dead phone, assuming you’re feeling generous.
The Infinix GT 30 Pro packs a dual-camera setup on the rear: a 108MP main sensor paired with an 8MP ultra-wide. And right off the bat, it’s clear which one’s doing the heavy lifting.
The 108MP shooter captures punchy, high-contrast images with decent dynamic range. There’s some heavy lifting from the image processing: Colours are saturated, shadows are lifted—but it works in the phone’s favour.
Low-light performance isn’t mind-blowing, but Night Mode does enough to lift shadows and keep noise in check
Portrait mode, which also leans on the main sensor, performs well with mostly accurate edge detection and background blur that doesn’t feel overly artificial..
Then there’s the 8MP ultra-wide, which honestly is the weaker camera. The detail drops off quickly, and once the light dips, so does image quality. It’s usable, but nothing impressive.
Video recording tops out at 4K with electronic image stabilization. The results are fine for casual clips but pan too fast or shoot in dim light, and you’ll notice the limitations. Again—functional, not fancy.
Flip to the front and you’ll find a 13MP selfie camera tucked into the display punch-hole. And you know what? It’s not too bad—at least in good lighting. The detail holds up surprisingly well, with facial features and skin tones that look natural without going full beauty filter.
Overall, this is a camera system built to be competent, not competitive. The main camera on the back is your go to shooter but with performance-first phone with shoulder triggers, this setup makes sense.
The GT 30 Pro runs on Infinix’s custom XOS skin layered over Android 15, and—surprise—it’s actually pretty good. It’s relatively clean, zippy in day-to-day use, and refreshingly light on bloatware. So, credit where it’s due: good job, Infinix. Please send a memo to Vivo and iQOO.
The animations aren’t quite as buttery as what you’d get on a OnePlus phone, but they’re not janky either. There’s a clear sense that Infinix is getting better at this, and with a couple of well-aimed software updates, it could smooth things out even more.
That said, software support is still fairly barebones. You’re looking at two major Android updates and three years of security patches. It's not bad for this segment, but don’t expect Pixel-level longevity here.
On the AI front, Infinix is all in. The GT 30 Pro comes loaded with a suite of AI features under the company’s own system—everything from text recognition, document summarization, translation, to wallpaper generation. Circle to Search is here too, which feels like table stakes in 2025. Then there’s Folax, Infinix’s own AI assistant now integrated with DeepSeek R1. And while we’re being honest… it’s actually not bad. In fact—brace yourself—it might even be better than Siri. At least Folax understands what you’re saying without a second attempt. And if you're not feeling the Folax vibes, you can switch to Google Gemini on the fly. Nice.
And just when you thought they’d forgotten about gamers, enter “XBOOST AI” and “Esports Mode.” These aren’t just marketing buzzwords—well, okay, they are—but they do work. The system dynamically tunes performance based on your usage, prioritizes network stability, and shuts down annoying distractions while you’re deep into a ranked match. It’s a clever little touch that makes this phone feel more serious about gaming than just slapping LED lights on the back.
The Infinix GT 30 Pro isn’t trying to be a balanced all-rounder—and that’s exactly what makes it fun. It leans hard into its gaming-first identity with shoulder triggers, LED lights, and snappy performance, but still manages to surprise with extras like wireless charging, a clean UI, and solid thermal management. The camera system is passable, not standout, and the ultra-wide lens is more for show than substance. But for what it gets right—especially at this price—it’s hard to knock it.
Now, you can absolutely ask the obvious question: Why go for this when you’ve got performance-focused phones like the iQOO Neo 10R or the POCO X7 Pro—the latter, in fact, being cheaper? The answer’s simple: shoulder triggers. No competition in this segment offers them, and after using them extensively, I can say they genuinely improve response time and gameplay feel. For many—especially those who want to play longer without getting wrecked every few minutes—that alone will be reason enough to pick the GT 30 Pro.
