Infinix GT 30 5G Review

Infinix GT 30 5G Review

The Infinix GT series has always been pitched at mobile gamers who want strong per­for­mance with­out pay­ing flag­ship prices. The GT 30 5G fol­lows that phi­los­o­phy close­ly. In this review I’ll walk you through the design, dis­play, per­for­mance, bat­tery, charg­ing, cam­eras, soft­ware, con­nec­tiv­i­ty and most impor­tant­ly my real-world gam­ing expe­ri­ence. I used the phone for dai­ly tasks and played demand­ing titles to see where it shines and where it com­pro­mis­es. By the end you should be able to decide if this phone fits your needs.

Infinix GT 30 5G First impres­sions design, size and feel

At 163.7 x 75.8 x 7.99 mm and 187 grams, the GT 30 5G is well bal­anced for long gam­ing ses­sions. The phone doesn’t feel bulky, and its weight dis­tri­b­u­tion makes it com­fort­able to hold for extend­ed peri­ods. The col­or options Cyber Blue, Pulse Green, Blade White, and Shad­ow Ash give it a slight­ly aggres­sive, gamer-cen­tric look with­out being over-the-top. The mat­te fin­ish (on the Pulse Green unit I test­ed) resists fin­ger­prints well and offers a secure grip.

Build mate­ri­als are prac­ti­cal rather than ultra-pre­mi­um. The cov­er glass is Corn­ing Goril­la Glass 7i, which pro­vides sol­id pro­tec­tion and peace of mind dur­ing every­day use. The phone’s over­all fit and fin­ish feel con­sis­tent with what you’d expect from a per­for­mance-ori­ent­ed mid-range device.

Infinix GT 30 5G Dis­play: a true gam­ing high­light

The GT 30 5G+ packs a 6.78-inch LTPS AMOLED pan­el with a 1.5K res­o­lu­tion (1224 x 2720) and a 93.7% screen-to-body ratio. Col­ors look vivid and accu­rate thanks to 100% DCI-P3 cov­er­age. What mat­ters most for gam­ing is smooth­ness and respon­sive­ness this phone scales from 60Hz up to 144Hz, and it sup­ports up to 240Hz touch sam­pling rate (instant touch sam­pling 2160Hz list­ed), which trans­lates to notice­ably faster touch input recog­ni­tion in com­pet­i­tive games.

Bright­ness fig­ures are impres­sive on paper 700 nits typ­i­cal, 1600 nits HBM, and 4500 nits peak and in prac­tice the pan­el remains read­able in bright day­light. PWM dim­ming and TÜV Low Blue Light cer­ti­fi­ca­tion help reduce eye strain dur­ing long ses­sions. Dual speak­ers and Hi-Res audio sup­port (includ­ing Hi-Res Audio Wire­less and DTS) com­plete the mul­ti­me­dia pack­age, mak­ing the phone enjoy­able for both gam­ing and con­tent con­sump­tion.

Infinix GT 30 5G Per­for­mance chipset, mem­o­ry and real-world speed

Under the hood sits the Medi­aTek Dimen­si­ty 7400 built on a 4nm process. The CPU con­fig­u­ra­tion is an octa-core mix (4x Cor­tex-A78 up to 2.6 GHz and 4x Cor­tex-A55 up to 2.0 GHz) paired with an Arm Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. The com­bi­na­tion of UFS 2.2 stor­age and LPDDR5X RAM helps the sys­tem feel snap­py, espe­cial­ly in day-to-day use and mul­ti­task­ing.

Avail­able mem­o­ry options include 128GB + 8GB RAM (plus 8GB extend­ed RAM) and 256GB + 8GB RAM (plus 8GB extend­ed RAM). In my usage the Dimen­si­ty 7400 han­dled mid-to-high set­tings in mod­ern titles with­out stut­ter­ing. It’s not a Snap­drag­on 8‑series killer, but for its price brack­et it offers a very respectable bal­ance between pow­er draw and sus­tained per­for­mance.

Ther­mal behav­ior is good but not mirac­u­lous: extend­ed marathon ses­sions with max­i­mum graph­ics will warm the phone and, on occa­sion, trig­ger ther­mal throt­tling that slight­ly reduces frame con­sis­ten­cy. That said, the throt­tling was mild and didn’t result in cat­a­stroph­ic FPS drops more of a small dip where the expe­ri­ence remained playable.

My gam­ing expe­ri­ence: what I actu­al­ly felt while play­ing

I pri­mar­i­ly test­ed the GT 30 5G+ with pop­u­lar com­pet­i­tive shoot­ers and graph­i­cal­ly demand­ing titles. Right away, the high refresh rate and very respon­sive touch sam­pling made aim­ing and small move­ment cor­rec­tions feel smoother than on 60Hz phones. Fast-paced encoun­ters where mil­lisec­onds mat­ter did feel bet­ter with the pan­el set to 120Hz or 144Hz.

Dual stereo speak­ers and the X‑axis lin­ear motor made the expe­ri­ence much more immer­sive. Sound cues were clear and direc­tion­al enough to be use­ful in com­pet­i­tive match­es, and the hap­tics helped with tac­tile feed­back dur­ing intense moments.

Bat­tery-wise, the 5500 mAh cell is a bless­ing. A 90–120 minute high-graph­ics ses­sion con­sumed a pre­dictable chunk of bat­tery but left plen­ty for oth­er tasks dur­ing the day. In my tests, I man­aged full gam­ing ses­sions with­out wor­ry­ing about an imme­di­ate recharge; the phone com­fort­ably last­ed a day under mixed heavy usage.

Charg­ing is rea­son­ably fast at 45W (not the absolute fastest on the mar­ket, but well-bal­anced for a large 5500 mAh pack). Real-world top­ping up felt con­ve­nient: a short break gives you a mean­ing­ful boost, and the phone sup­ports reverse charg­ing up to 10W handy for emer­gency top­ping up of acces­sories.

Bat­tery and charg­ing long life with sen­si­ble charg­ing speeds

The 5500 mAh bat­tery pro­vides reas­sur­ing longevi­ty. For a user who plays games for a cou­ple of hours, streams some media, and uses social apps, the phone can eas­i­ly last a full day and usu­al­ly more. With the 45W charg­ing sup­port, you can refresh the bat­tery quick­ly it’s not flag­ship-class ultra-fast charg­ing but it’s prac­ti­cal and kinder to bat­tery longevi­ty.

Reverse charg­ing at up to 10W is con­ve­nient for ear­buds or oth­er small acces­sories. Of course, reverse charg­ing will not be a sub­sti­tute for a prop­er pow­er bank, but it’s a use­ful safe­ty net.

Cam­era and mul­ti­me­dia good for every­day use not the main focus

Infinix hasn’t pri­or­i­tized a top-tier cam­era set­up on the GT 30. Instead, the focus is gam­ing and mul­ti­me­dia. The cam­era sys­tem is com­pe­tent for dai­ly pho­tos: day­light shots look fine, col­ors are punchy, and details are accept­able for social shar­ing. Low-light pho­tog­ra­phy is aver­age capa­ble, but not class-lead­ing. If pho­tog­ra­phy is your top pri­or­i­ty, you’ll find bet­ter alter­na­tives in the same price range, but if gam­ing and bat­tery life mat­ter more, the GT 30’s cam­era will be just fine.

Mul­ti­me­dia play­back ben­e­fits from Widevine L1 DRM sup­port, so pre­mi­um stream­ing at high­er res­o­lu­tions is avail­able on sup­port­ed apps. Dual speak­ers and Hi-Res audio fea­tures also help if you con­sume a lot of media on your phone.

Sam­sung Galaxy S25 FE Full Spec­i­fi­ca­tions

Con­nec­tiv­i­ty soft­ware and sen­sors

The GT 30 5G+ cov­ers the essen­tials: dual nano-SIM slots, 5G sup­port (plus 4G/3G/2G com­pat­i­bil­i­ty), Wi-Fi 6, Blue­tooth 5.4, GPS, and USB Type‑C. OTG and FM radio are includ­ed as well. The phone runs XOS 15 on top of Android 15, which brings addi­tion­al gam­ing-cen­tric fea­tures and cus­tomiza­tions. Some users may find XOS heav­ier than a stock Android skin, but it’s fea­ture-rich and includes use­ful gam­ing tools.

Sen­sors include a G‑sensor, e‑compass, gyro­scope (impor­tant for many shoot­er and dri­ving games), light sen­sor, prox­im­i­ty sen­sor, and in-dis­play fin­ger­print sen­sor. There’s also an IR blaster for con­trol­ling home elec­tron­ics a small but use­ful con­ve­nience. The device is rat­ed IP64 for splash and dust resis­tance, so it can han­dle minor splash­es and dusty envi­ron­ments but should nev­er be sub­merged.

Build, dura­bil­i­ty and dai­ly use

Goril­la Glass 7i on the dis­play gives extra con­fi­dence against scratch­es and drops. The phone’s ergonom­ics make long gam­ing ses­sions more com­fort­able than many heav­ier alter­na­tives. The X‑axis lin­ear motor pro­vides nice hap­tic feed­back, and the dual speak­ers enhance immer­sion while gam­ing or watch­ing videos.

If you’re a hard­core, com­pet­i­tive esports play­er who demands absolute ther­mal sta­bil­i­ty, you might notice the GT 30 warm dur­ing marathon ses­sions. For most users the ther­mal pro­file is accept­able; just be aware that very extend­ed max­i­mum-set­tings play will cause some ther­mal throt­tling.

Price and val­ue how the num­bers stack up

Retail list­ings indi­cate a start­ing price around ₹19,499 for the 128GB vari­ant and ₹20,999 for the 256GB vari­ant. For that price, the GT 30 5G+ offers strong val­ue: a large high-res­o­lu­tion AMOLED dis­play with up-to-144Hz refresh rate, a capa­ble Dimen­si­ty 7400 chipset, LPDDR5X + UFS2.2 stor­age, and a big 5500 mAh bat­tery with 45W charg­ing. In the mid-range gam­ing seg­ment, these fea­tures make the GT 30 a com­pelling buy for those who pri­or­i­tize dis­play, bat­tery life, and gam­ing respon­sive­ness over ultra-pre­mi­um cam­era hard­ware.

Down­sides and things to con­sid­er

The most notable com­pro­mis­es are ther­mal lim­its and cam­era per­for­mance when com­pared to high­er-priced flag­ships. The Dimen­si­ty 7400 is a great chipset for its class, but it won’t match the absolute peak per­for­mance of flag­ship Snap­drag­on 8‑series chips. XOS may feel heavy if you pre­fer a clean­er stock Android expe­ri­ence. Final­ly, while the phone is IP64-rat­ed, it’s not designed for water immer­sion.

Final ver­dict: an excel­lent mid-range gam­ing choice with sen­si­ble trade-offs

If you’re look­ing for a gam­ing-cen­tric smart­phone that won’t break the bank, the Infinix GT 30 5G+ is a high­ly sen­si­ble option. It nails what mat­ters for gamers: a high-qual­i­ty AMOLED screen, high refresh rates, respon­sive touch, long bat­tery life, and a bal­anced per­for­mance pack­age. My real-world expe­ri­ence con­firmed that com­pet­i­tive and casu­al gam­ing both feel enjoy­able and con­sis­tent.

That said, if you pri­or­i­tize best-in-class cam­eras or the absolute peak in ther­mal head­room for marathon esports ses­sions, you may want to con­sid­er spend­ing more for a flag­ship-lev­el device. For most gamers who want the best bang-for-buck in 2025, the GT 30 5G+ hits its marks and is easy to rec­om­mend.
