| Infinix GT 30 |
A few days ago, Infinix made waves in the gaming smartphone segment with the launch of its GT 30 Pro. Now, its smaller sibling, the Infinix GT 30 5G+, has launched today in the Indian market, and it’s already turning heads. The most striking aspect of this phone is its aggressive pricing—both the 256GB and 128GB variants are available for under ₹20,000. In this price range, it’s rare to find a truly gaming-focused device. Most phones may offer good performance, but they lack dedicated gaming-centric features. The GT 30 changes that narrative by packing hardware and software tweaks specifically aimed at gamers, including the standout GT gaming triggers.
Design & Build Quality
The GT 30 offers a well-thought-out layout. At the bottom, you get the speaker grill, USB-C port, microphone, and SIM tray. The top houses the secondary speaker, IR blaster, and noise-cancelling mic. On the right side, there’s the power button with a golden accent and volume rocker, while the left remains clean. The front is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, ensuring better durability.
The phone is available in three stylish colors—Blue, Green, and White—each with unique metallic accents. The Blue variant shimmers under light, while the Green has dark undertones. Weighing just 186.8g, it feels solid yet lightweight compared to other large-battery smartphones.
Display Quality
One of the highlights of the GT 30 is its 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED LTPS display with a variable refresh rate of up to 144Hz. This ensures smooth visuals whether you’re gaming or scrolling.
It also features:
- 2304Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort
- TUV Rheinland low-light certification
- 1600 nits HBM and 4500 nits peak brightness for excellent outdoor visibility. The slim bezels, small chin, and centered punch-hole camera make the screen look premium.
Performance & Hardware
Powering the GT 30 is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset (licensed by Qualcomm), paired with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and either 128GB or 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. It packs a large 5500mAh battery with 45W fast charging and 10W reverse wired charging. On AnTuTu, it scores around 730,000, which is very strong for its price.
Gamers will appreciate:
- Bypass charging to reduce heat during gameplay
- Vapor cooling system for thermal control
- GT triggers that can be customised for in-game actions or used as shortcuts In BGMI, the phone supports 90fps, and heavy titles like Genshin Impact run smoothly at 40fps without overheating.
Gaming Features
The gaming experience is further enhanced with:
- E-sports mode
- Voice changer for streaming
- AI X-Boost for touch and performance optimisation
- 6-axis gyroscope
- In-display fingerprint sensor & face unlock
- Strong haptic feedback
These features make the GT 30 stand out as a true gaming phone in its price bracket.
Camera Performance
The GT 30 sports:
- 64MP Sony IMX682 primary sensor
- 8MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus (also works as a macro)
- 13MP selfie camera
It supports 4K 30fps recording on both front and rear cameras. Photos deliver natural skin tones, vibrant colors, and sharp detail. The front camera offers wide group selfies and panorama stitching. AI camera features include text-to-image conversion, sky replacement, vlog mode, super night mode, and slow motion.
Multimedia & Connectivity
Audio performance is excellent thanks to dual stereo speakers with clear, loud output. It supports YouTube HDR and Full HD streaming via Widevine L1, though Netflix HDR is not available.
Connectivity highlights:
- Wi-Fi 6
- Bluetooth 5.4
- Full 5G band support
- Ultra Link feature for offline communication between two Infinix devices
Software & Updates
The GT 30 runs XOS based on Android 15 and promises 2 years of major updates plus 3 years of security patches. There are a few pre-installed apps, but they can be removed. The UI offers deep customisation and includes an AI Assistant that works in both Hindi and English.
Final Verdict
The Infinix GT 30 5G+ is easily one of the best gaming-focused smartphones under ₹20,000. It offers a premium display, strong performance, improved cameras, and gamer-centric features you won’t find in most phones at this price. Add in two years of updates and you’ve got a future-ready gaming beast that’s also budget-friendly.
