The gaming phone market is primed for growth, and more Android makers are taking their crack at it. Infinix recently announced its GT 30 Pro and it’s coming to India next week. It aims to deliver the gaming phone experience without the hefty price tag. Our review unit made its way to the office and these are our first impressions.
Let’s start with the eye test. RGB LEDs – check, touch-sensitive shoulder triggers – check, aggressive back design – check. This is a gaming phone alright.
Our review unit comes in the Dark Flare colorway. The dual-tone approach makes it seem like the device has bezels on the back.
GT 30 Pro comes bundled with a plastic case, a 45W charger and USB cable. We also got the optional gaming kit, which includes the Mag Case and MagCharge Cooler. The latter attaches to the back and features a spinning fan to help with thermals while also emitting additional RGB lighting and charging your device via the USB-C port. And yes, it works on other devices too, even on iPhones.
The phone feels surprisingly light, even though it’s almost 190 grams. Its 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED is flat and gets plenty bright. We’re greеted with Android 15 with Infinix XOS 15 on top which looks clean and modern and comes with plenty of AI features and the company’s Folax assistant.
The internals are handled by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset, which we also saw on the Note 50 Pro+ – a solid midrange chip. That’s paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
The back has a 108MP main shooter and an 8MP ultrawide and a 5,500 mAh battery with 45W wired charging, 30W wireless and bypass charging capabilities. That’s all we have to share for now, it’s time for the GT 30 Pro to undergo our usual set of tests.
