Infinix GT 30 Pro Gaming Phone Review: The RM1,299 Beast That's Taking Malaysian Esports by Storm


KUALA LUMPUR, May 21, 2025
— Gaming phones just got a whole lot more interesting, and surprisingly affordable. Infinix has just dropped the GT 30 Pro in Malaysia, and honestly? This thing might just shake up the entire mid-range gaming phone market.

Priced at just RM1,299 for the 256GB model (with a beefier 512GB option at RM1,499), the GT 30 Pro isn't trying to compete with those RM5,000+ flagship gaming monsters. Instead, it's carving out its own space by delivering features that even some premium phones don't have.

What Makes This Phone Special?

The standout feature has to be the GT Trigger – basically capacitive shoulder buttons built right into the phone's frame. No more clunky attachments or adapters. These touch-sensitive triggers give you that console-like control for mobile games, supporting four and six-finger setups. You can even long-press both triggers to instantly launch your favorite game. Pretty neat, right?

But here's where things get really interesting: Infinix has partnered with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang to make this the official gaming phone for MPL Malaysia Season 16. That's not just marketing fluff – it means this phone has been tested by actual esports professionals who depend on their gear for their livelihood.

The Gaming Master Edition Changes Everything


The real game-changer is the Gaming Master Edition bundle. You get two accessories that work together: the MagCharge Cooler (a magnetic wireless charging fan) and the MagCase (a thermally optimized case). When combined, they activate "Draco Mode" – letting you wirelessly charge while keeping the phone cool during intense gaming sessions.

The result? The GT 30 Pro can maintain 120FPS in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang for hours without overheating. That's genuinely impressive for a phone in this price range.

Specs That Actually Matter

Under the hood, you're getting the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 5G chip – built specifically for gaming with HyperEngine technology. It's backed by up to 24GB of extended RAM (12GB physical + 12GB virtual), which should handle pretty much anything you throw at it.


The 6.78-inch display rocks a 144Hz refresh rate with 1.5K resolution, plus some eye-candy features like 4500 nits peak brightness and TÜV Rheinland eye comfort certification. Gaming visuals should be crisp and smooth.

Battery life gets a boost from the 5500mAh capacity with 45W wired and 30W wireless charging. There's even Bypass Charging 2.0 that routes power directly to the motherboard during gaming, keeping battery temperatures down.

It's Not Just About Gaming


Beyond gaming, the GT 30 Pro packs a 108MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide, and 13MP front shooter. The phone also introduces "One-Tap Infinix AI" with features like real-time call translation, document summarization, and AI wallpaper creation – bringing some flagship-level smarts to the mid-range.


The design deserves a mention too. The "Mechanical Light Waves" system creates dynamic lighting effects that react to calls, messages, music, and even in-game kills. It comes in three colors: Shadow Ash, Blade White, and the RGB-lit Dark Flare variant.

The GT VERSE Ecosystem


Infinix isn't stopping with phones. They're also launching the XPAD GT tablet (RM1,699) with a Snapdragon 888 chip, 144Hz display, and 10,000mAh battery. It's positioned as part of their "GT VERSE" gaming ecosystem.

Should You Buy It?

For RM1,299, the GT 30 Pro offers features typically found in phones costing twice as much. The shoulder triggers, advanced cooling system, and official esports validation make it a compelling choice for serious mobile gamers. Plus, early buyers get the Gaming Master Edition accessories free while stocks last.

The GT 30 Pro launches on May 21, 2025, available online through Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop, as well as authorized Infinix dealers nationwide.

If you're serious about mobile gaming but don't want to break the bank, this might just be the phone you've been waiting for.
