Infinix GT 30 Pro.

Infinix GT 30 Pro is a high-performance, gaming-centric smartphone PRICED at Ksh.36500 in kenya  as the flagship of Infinix’s specialized “GT” series. Positioned as a “mid-range gaming beast,” it is designed to deliver a competitive esports experience at an accessible price point. The device introduces the refined Cyber-Mecha 2.0 design language, featuring customizable Mechanical Light Waves (RGB lighting) and integrated GT Triggers for console-style control. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset and a 144Hz AMOLED display, it aims to provide sustained, high-frame-rate gaming while doubling as a versatile daily driver with a 108MP OIS camera and 30W wireless charging.

PROCESSOR.

Infinix GT 30 Pro is driven by the impressive MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate, a state-of-the-art 4nm octa-core chipset crafted to seamlessly blend mid-range and flagship performance. This powerhouse features a high-performance setup with Cortex-A715 cores that can reach speeds of up to 3.35 GHz, offering a remarkable boost in both raw power and efficiency compared to earlier models. For graphics, it comes equipped with the Mali-G615 MC6 GPU, which is fine-tuned to deliver smooth, high frame rates in competitive games. Thanks to this setup, the device proudly holds Krafton certification for achieving 120 FPS in popular titles like PUBG Mobile and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). To enhance the gaming experience, Infinix has paired this chipset with lightning-fast UFS 4.0 storage and a generous 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which can be virtually expanded by another 12GB. This memory configuration ensures that launching apps and handling data-heavy tasks happens in the blink of an eye. Plus, the “Ultimate” tuning of the Dimensity 8350 works in harmony with the XBoost Gaming Engine to smartly manage resources, while a robust six-layer 3D vapor cooling chamber keeps thermal throttling at bay, allowing the processor to maintain its top speed of 3.35 GHz even during those long gaming marathons.

GT TRIGGERS.

GT Triggers on the Infinix GT 30 Pro really stand out as a fantastic hardware feature, crafted to give you that console-like feel without needing any extra accessories. These capacitive shoulder buttons are smoothly integrated into the right side of the phone’s frame, perfectly placed where your index fingers naturally rest when you’re holding the device in landscape mode. Unlike traditional mechanical buttons that can be bulky or wear out over time, these touch-sensitive zones provide a sleek, low-latency input method that supports both tap and long-press actions. Plus, they give you a gentle haptic feedback when activated, so you know for sure that your action has been registered—this is especially important during intense competitive gaming. In terms of functionality, these triggers serve as “virtual fingers,” letting you shift your most essential controls—like aiming, firing, or jumping—off the main screen and onto the phone’s frame. This not only allows for advanced four-finger or six-finger “claw” setups but also clears up your view by minimizing the need for on-screen thumbs. With the XBoost gaming hub, you can fully customize the mapping for each trigger for different games; for instance, you could set the right trigger to “Fire” in PUBG Mobile and the left to “Quick Scope.” And it’s not just for gaming—the triggers are surprisingly versatile, functioning as system shortcuts that you can set up to snap a photo, toggle the flashlight, or start a screen recording with just a quick press.

BYPASS CHARGING.

Bypass Charging 2.0 is a unique power management feature found on the Infinix GT 30 Pro, specifically created to tackle two major challenges in mobile gaming: overheating and battery wear. When you’re gaming and have the phone plugged in, this technology lets the device send power straight to the motherboard and processor, skipping the battery entirely. This clever approach prevents the “dual-heating” issue, where the battery heats up while charging at the same time the processor is working hard on the game. As a result, you can enjoy a temperature drop of up to 7°C, allowing the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate to run at top speeds without any thermal throttling. But it’s not just about keeping things cool; this feature also helps protect your device’s long-term health. When you game while charging, the battery goes through “micro-cycles,” which can lead to quick wear and tear. Bypass Charging 2.0 takes away that stress, effectively prolonging the battery’s lifespan. In the GT 30 Pro, this is part of a larger “All-Round FastCharge” system, which even includes the wireless charging capabilities. You can easily switch this mode on in the Game Space (XArena) settings, letting you stay connected to a power source for hours of “console-style” gaming without the worry of overheating or damaging your battery health.

DISPLAY AND DESIGN.

Infinix GT 30 Pro boasts a stunning 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, which is a key part of its “flagship gaming” persona. With a super smooth 144Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 4,500 nits, this screen stays crystal clear even in the blazing midday sun. Gamers will appreciate the display’s 2,160Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, which means almost no input lag, along with 2,304Hz PWM dimming to help ease eye strain during those late-night gaming marathons. Plus, the visuals pop with 10-bit color depth and full 100% DCI-P3 coverage, all protected by a tough layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The design of the GT 30 Pro takes the series’ look to the next level with its Cyber Mecha 2.0 aesthetic, drawing inspiration from futuristic exosuits and advanced robotics. The back panel features bold geometric lines and a “Mechanical Light Waves” system—customizable RGB LEDs that respond to in-game actions like kills, as well as notifications, calls, and even music beats. You can choose between two striking styles: Dark Flare, which goes all out with RGB lighting for a vibrant gamer vibe, and Blade White, which takes a more understated route with sleek white LED accents. Despite its intricate internal cooling and lighting setup, this device remains impressively slim at just 7.99mm and has an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.

CAMERA

Infinix GT 30 Pro camera  is a notable upgrade from its predecessor, shifting focus from a simple high-megapixel count to a more versatile multi-lens setup. The centerpiece is a 108 MP Samsung ISOCELL HMX primary sensor , which uses phase detection autofocus (PDAF) to deliver sharp, high-detail images in favorable lighting. For the first time in the GT series, Infinix has included a dedicated 8 MP Ultra-Wide lens (111° FOV), addressing a major criticism of previous models. This secondary lens also features autofocus, allowing it to double as a capable Super Macro shooter for close-up photography. While the phone is gaming-centric, the camera interface remains feature-rich, offering a robust “Pro” mode, AI scene detection, and a specialized “Super Night” mode for low-light environments.

On the video front, the GT 30 Pro punches above its weight class by offering 4K recording at 60fps on the rear camera—a feature often reserved for more expensive flagships. To ensure smooth footage, the device utilizes Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which helps minimize camera shake during handheld recording. Content creators will also appreciate the 13 MP front-facing camera, which supports 4K @ 30fps video, making it suitable for high-quality vlogging and sharp video calls. Other creative software modes like Vlog Mode, Dual Video (recording from front and back simultaneously), and Sky Shop (for post-capture sky replacement) further enhance the utility of the camera beyond just casual snapshots.

BATTERY AND CHARGING.

Infinix GT 30 Pro is equipped with a high-capacity 5,500 mAh battery (with a 5,200 mAh variant in some regions), designed to sustain long-duration gaming sessions. This “All-Day Full FPS” power system is optimized for durability, utilizing chemical compositions that maintain health over hundreds of charge cycles. For rapid replenishment, it supports 45W wired fast charging via USB-C, which can quickly juice up the device during short breaks.
