Infinix GT 30 Review: Design and Display
Before we dive into the design and form factor of the GT 30, let’s take a look at what you get inside its retail box:- Smartphone
- 45W power adapter
- USB Type-A to Type-C cable
- Clear plastic cover
- SIM ejector
- GT Verse invite card
- User manual
- Warranty card
The plastic frame holds two pressure-sensitive shoulder triggers on its right edge. Between these two triggers lie the volume rocker and the side button. The SIM tray, primary microphone, USB-C port, and primary speaker grille are positioned on the bottom edge. The secondary speaker, IR blaster, and noise-cancelling microphone are placed up top.
The vanilla variant shares its display with the Pro model. This 6.78-inch AMOLED panel has a 144Hz refresh rate and can reach a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It can hold its own under direct sunlight, easily reaching the optimum level of brightness to make the content on the screen perfectly legible. The touch response is smooth as butter. The bezels surrounding the screen are thin and uniform – something that is still not the norm in this segment. The optical fingerprint scanner is snappy and accurate.
During the review period, we used the Infinix GT 30 to stream TV and movie titles on OTT apps like Netflix, JioHotstar, and Prime Video. The AMOLED display, with its 1,224 x 2,720p resolution, produced detailed visuals with deep colours. There’s DRM Widevine L1 support for HD content. The audio output is well-balanced but a little faint.
Infinix GT 30 Review: Performance and Cameras
Powering the GT 30 is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor. This is a respectable chipset for a smartphone in the sub-Rs 20,000 price bracket. There are 2 storage (UFS 2.2) variants on offer with fixed 8GB RAM (LPDDR5X):- 128GB: Rs 18,499
- 256GB: Rs 19,999
- AnTuTu 3D: 700,980
- Geekbench 6: 1,059 (single-core) | 3,019 (multi-core)
The GT 30 runs through routine tasks like a hot knife through butter. The LPDDR5X RAM configuration lets you juggle multiple apps at once without hitting a snag. The UFS 2.2 storage configuration is a couple of notches below the Pro variant (UFS 4.0), but the difference in performance isn’t significant. We were particularly impressed by the smooth and fluid general usage experience. The GT 30 is a tier above its peers in this regard. Even the typing experience felt a level above other phones in this category.
The MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset is able to run titles like Call of Duty and BGMI in medium to high graphics. You can unlock a 90fps frame rate in BGMI. The gameplay is smooth and consistent. We did not come across a single frame drop during our time with the device. The shoulder triggers can be used to fire rounds or carry out preset combinations. They are far from a gimmick. The 3D Vapor Chamber cooling system covers a 5,400mm² area with 6 layers of copper, graphite, and stainless steel.
OS duties on this device are handled by the Android 15-based XOS 15. Infinix’s custom Android skin has taken a big leap this year. Its design elements are inspired by HyperOS and ColorOS/OxygenOS. However, our favourite thing about this skin is how well-optimised it is. The interface feels light, airy, and smooth. Everything from screen transitions to animations for app launching/minimising is very fluid.
The Infinix AI suite offers features like Call Assistant, Translation Assistant, Writing Assistant, AI Note, Recording Summary, AI Eraser and more. You also get Google’s Circle to Search on this device. The AI Eraser in the native Photos app does a decent job of removing unwanted objects from images. The Auto-Answer and Real-Time Translation features for cellular calls work pretty well. AI Note was one of the features that felt like a gimmick. It can convert rough sketches to images, but the final results are quite unimpressive.
The 50MP primary shooter captures good pictures in outdoor daylight conditions. These images pack all the important important and showcase punchy colours. The dynamic range and contrast are good, too. In limited lighting conditions, the ‘Super Night’ mode in the native Camera app does a good job of illuminating the shot and getting rid of most of the grain.

Verdict
The Infinix GT 30 Pro sets the benchmark in performance, hardware, and features in the sub-Rs 20,000 price segment. Its campy design doesn’t hesitate to embrace the gaming aesthetics. The LED lights on the back panel are a nice touch. The AMOLED panel is bright, fluid, and super responsive. The MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor can handle any task you throw at it, including heavy gaming. If you’re a BGMI player, you will enjoy the 90fps frame rate that this phone is able to unlock in the game. What we like about this phone is that it doesn’t put all its eggs in the gaming basket. For casual users, it offers a versatile camera performance and an expansive set of AI features.Pros
