I’m excited to explore the Infinix GT 30 5G+ with you. Can a phone under 20,000 rupees really change gaming? What features make a device feel high-end without costing too much? Let’s explore this phone based on my experience and insights.
First Impressions
When I first got the Infinix GT 30 5G+, the packaging caught my eye. Doesn’t a box’s design often shape the experience inside? This one screams gaming vibes with its bold “GT Trigger” mentions and a scannable code to enter the “GT Verse.” When I opened it, I thought: How does Infinix keep it affordable while adding smart features?
- Included Accessories: You get a user manual, TPU case, USB-C cable, SIM ejector, and 45W fast charger.
- Color Options and Aesthetics: The phone comes in three colors Cyber Blue, Pulse Green, and Blade White. I chose Cyber Blue. It really shimmers under light with yellow-golden accents. This makes me wonder: Is this the most eye-catching design for its price? The Green variant leans toward black but reveals its hue at angles, while accents vary by color.
- Weight and Build: At around 187 grams and 7.9mm thick, it feels light and balanced. Have you noticed how many phones hover around 200 grams these days? This one’s under 190, offering a fantastic in-hand feel without overwhelming average-sized hands.
I did a casual drop test. It wasn’t scientific, but the phone survived a few falls. This was thanks to the Gorilla Glass 7i on the front. What do you think? Does the IP64 rating and the screen protector make you feel more confident using it every day?
Design and Build: Gaming Vibes or Everyday Practicality?
What makes a gaming phone different from a regular phone in design and features? The Infinix GT 30 5G+ features a Cyber Mecha 2.0 design. It has sharp lines and a polycarbonate back that looks like glass. Plus, the rear lights up for calls, notifications, or charging. It’s aimed at youthful gamers, but I wonder if it appeals beyond that demographic.
- Ports and Buttons: On the bottom, you’ll find a speaker grille, USB Type-C port, microphone, and a SIM tray. It supports dual nano-SIM but has no hybrid slot. The top is packed with another speaker grille, IR blaster, and noise-canceling mic. Right side: volume rocker and power button with golden accents. Left side? Nothing simple and clean.
- Unique Features: Those GT Gaming Triggers are a standout. These pressure-sensitive haptics aren’t just for gaming. I set them up to open apps like Swiggy with a double-tap. They can also work as a camera shutter. Imagine scoping and shooting in BGMI with one press doesn’t that sound efficient? You can even use them for play/pause in videos or screenshots.
- Durability Thoughts: It has an IP64 rating. The X-axis linear motor gives haptic feedback, making it feel premium. The LED notification lights add flair white only, but customizable. Have you considered how such small touches enhance user experience without adding cost?
The shiny finish makes it a fingerprint magnet. However, its gaming look helps it stand out from dull designs. What intrigues you most: the futuristic look or the practical triggers?
Display: A Window to Immersive Experiences
The display is key to any smartphone. Is a high-refresh-rate screen worth it for gaming and daily use under 20,000 rupees? The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel boasts 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
- Brightness and Visibility: Peak brightness reaches 4500 nits. In High Brightness Mode, it hits 1600 nits. Outdoors, it’s crystal clear perfect for sunlight. Indoors, the viewing angles are great. The small chin and center punch-hole add a modern touch.
- Eye Comfort Features: TUV Rheinland low-light certification. It has 2304Hz PWM dimming, which is great for night binge-watching without strain. Have you ever experienced eye fatigue from screens? This might change that.
- Multimedia Perks: It supports HDR on YouTube, but not on Netflix. You also get Full HD streaming with Widevine L1. Plus, enjoy loud, quality audio with stereo speakers and DTS. The colors are poppy vibrant, though I prefer neutral tones. What about you: Do you lean toward vivid displays for gaming?
The in-display fingerprint scanner is snappy, and face unlock works well. This display really stands out. Think about it: is this quality often found in budget options?
Performance and Gaming: Power Under the Hood
The GT 30 excels in performance as a gaming phone. The MediaTek Dimensity 7400 offers great gaming at an affordable price. It features 8GB of RAM and storage choices of 128GB or 256GB. It scores 725,000 on AnTuTu, impressive for its price.
- Gaming Capabilities: Certified for 90fps on BGMI and COD Mobile, and 40fps on Genshin Impact. Stays cool at under 40°C with a 5400mm² vapor cooling chamber.
More Gaming Features:
- Bypass charging
- E-sports mode
- Voice changer for streaming
- X-Boost AI for touch optimization
- Six-axis gyroscope
The GT Triggers elevate gameplay customizable for in-game actions. Ever thought about how AI could fine-tune your touch patterns?
- Daily Usage: Smooth multitasking, no lags on Android 15-based XOS 15. Battery: 5500mAh with 45W charging (full in ~56 minutes) and 10W reverse charging. I got a full day’s backup with mixed use how does that compare to your current phone?
Connectivity features Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, 12 5G bands, and Ultra Link. This allows calls and messages with nearby Infinix phones. No NFC, but that’s expected. Question for you: Does the focus on gaming features make this a daily driver contender?
Software and AI: Evolving Experiences
Software can make or break a phone. I’ve often thought about how important updates and a clean UI are for budget devices. XOS 15 on Android 15 is underrated. It offers clean and smooth animations. You get 2 years of major updates and 3 years of security patches. That’s much better than Infinix’s usual one year.
- Customizations and Features: Dynamic bar, floating windows, split screen, smart panel.
AI galore:
- AI Assist
- AI Gallery
- Folax assistant (works in Hindi/English)
- AI note
- Eraser
- Cutout
- Circle to search
- Wallpaper generator
The list goes on explore and tell me: Which AI feature excites you most?
- Bloatware and Improvements: Some third-party apps, but uninstallable. No more Palm Store notifications cleaner than before. Updated to July security patch out of the box. Isn’t timely support a game-changer?
- Multimedia and More: Great for HDR content, vlogs, and streaming. The voice assistant nailed a “pumpkin curry” recipe query practical and fun.
XOS 15 is solid; it challenges misconceptions about Infinix software. What assumptions do you hold about budget OS experiences?
Camera: Capturing Moments on a Budget
Cameras in gaming phones aren’t always priorities, but I ask: Can a 64MP primary sensor surprise us? The setup includes a Sony IMX682 main camera. It also has an 8MP ultrawide camera with autofocus for macros. Plus, there’s a 13MP selfie camera.
- Photo Quality: Daytime shots impress with good details, skin tones, and colors. Selfies are detailed, with wide mode for groups. Low-light gets bright but softer typical for the segment. Ultrawide is decent, better than useless 2MP lenses.
- Video and Features: 4K 30fps from front and back, 2K from ultrawide. Stabilization works well. Modes like Vlog, Super Night, Time Lapse, Dual Video, and AI Sky Shop make it more versatile. Portraits offer 1x/2x zoom edge detection improved.
- AI Enhancements: Text-to-image, photo enhancement, eraser. I’ve shared a G-Drive link in earlier reviews. Check out the samples and see: Has Infinix finally nailed camera optimization?
It’s serviceable for a gaming focus usable photos without high expectations. What role do cameras play in your phone choice?
Battery, Connectivity, and Final Thoughts: Worth the Hype?
Wrapping up, the 5500mAh battery and 45W charging keep me going all day. Connectivity is robust with 12 5G bands future-proof? Priced under 20,000 (likely 17-19k for base), it’s a formidable contender.
The Infinix GT 30 5G+ offers great gaming, a top display, good cameras, and reliable software. What makes a phone great for you?
