Infinix GT 30 Pro

The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G+ features a 108MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 13MP front-facing camera. This setup is a definite upgrade over last year's model, which lacked an ultrawide option altogether. The phone is a gaming-focused offering, so I kept my expectations in check for its photography capabilities, and it performed on par with what I'd imagined. In good lighting, the primary sensor performs well, delivering photos with a wide dynamic range, decent contrast, and a satisfactory level of detail. Colours are generally well-balanced, and outdoor shots in daylight come out looking vibrant without being overly processed.However, things start to shift with the ultrawide camera. Colours often look different compared to the main sensor, and there's a drop in clarity. Images tend to be soft, with fuzzy edges and a loss of finer detail, especially toward the corners. The selfie camera, on the other hand, is surprisingly good. It captures facial details well, with accurate skin tones and a pleasing overall output. The results are sharp and social-media-ready in most lighting scenarios.

The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G+ comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The storage has been upgraded from last year's UFS 3.1, and if you want more space, you can expand it further via a microSD card. You check also out some benchmarks I've attached below, courtesy of our in-house smartphone testing team: Performance has seen a big jump compared to its predecessor, and it's now easily among the top performers in its segment. The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G+ posts excellent benchmark scores and handles everyday tasks without breaking a sweat. There's no lag, no stutter, just smooth multitasking all around. As for software, you get XOS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box. The new XOS has seen some meaningful improvements, including smoother app animations, a refreshed app drawer, and an updated notification panel. The interface feels a lot cleaner and refined than before, and Infinix also deserves credit for cutting down on the number of pre-installed apps. 

The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G+ is clearly positioned as a gaming powerhouse, and it shows. There are thoughtful additions throughout the experience, starting with the new GT Shoulder Triggers. These come with an impressive 520Hz touch response rate, and they genuinely elevate the fun factor in fast-paced multiplayer titles. They feel tactile, responsive, and add a welcome layer of precision to gameplay. You also get a cooling fan accessory, but since we didn't receive the gaming kit with our review unit, we could not test it out. One major pet peeve I have with the triggers is the lack of tactile differentiation. There's no physical feedback or distinct texture to separate them from the side frame. I would have preferred a slightly raised edge or a rougher finish to make them easier to locate. During testing, they were prone to accidental touches, and even some metal objects triggered them. Still, for the price, it is a clever and ambitious inclusion.What surprised me, though, is just how feature-rich the gaming software is. For instance, there's a ‘Strategy' mode where you can customise in-game controls and even assign macros with the ‘Single-Press Combo' actions. You also get a floating button to quickly switch between saved strategies, something I didn't expect to find at this price point. Of course, macros like these are generally not allowed in competitive gaming, but if you're playing casually at home, I won't judge you for using them to secure a few extra chicken dinners. There's also a handy All Magic Box tool that does useful things in RPG and open world titles like accelerate dialogue, running lock, auto item pickup etc. All in all, there's some good gaming-focused stuff on offer here. The GT Shoulder Triggers themselves are customisable too, you can tweak their sensitivity across three levels: Low, Medium, and High and add other quick access functions when you're not playing games. I personally found the medium setting to be the sweet spot. The triggers can also be mapped to control the camera or flashlight, which, during initial use, caused a few accidental inputs. The device took a photo or toggled the flashlight more than once, just because I brushed the sides. Still, the fact that they can also control video playback makes them more versatile than I expected.When it comes to actual gaming performance, the GT 30 Pro 5G+ holds up impressively well. BGMI runs at 120FPS, and gameplay feels fluid and consistent with an average of 110fps over 30 minutes. I also tested Genshin Impact on the high graphics preset at 60fps mode, where the device delivered a stable 52–54 FPS, which is more than acceptable for everyday gaming.What really impressed me, though, was the thermal management. In our testing, the phone recorded an average temperature rise of just over 4 degrees Celsius during a 30-minute gaming session. That is seriously impressive, especially when you consider that similarly positioned gaming phones, like the POCO X7 Pro, can hit an 8-degree Celsius spike under similar conditions.  

The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G+ packs a 5,500mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. In our battery tests, it delivered fairly average results when compared to key rivals. However, in day-to-day use, it comfortably lasts a full day, even with heavy usage.One of the more thoughtful additions here is bypass charging, which routes power directly to the motherboard instead of the battery. This helps keep temperatures in check during gaming sessions and contributes to better long-term battery health.There's also a low-temperature charging mode, which slightly slows down the charging speed to protect the battery over time, which is a smart touch for those who prefer longevity over speed.Charging speeds are decent, though not very noteworthy in this price bracket. The included 45W charger takes 59 minutes to go from 20-100 percent. There's also support for 30W wireless charging and 5W reverse charging, which can come in handy if you need to top up another device on the go. You do need the GT Magsafe cover for wirelesss charging and equipping the cooling fan, so keep that in mind.
