Infinix GT 30 5G+ India launch confirmed: Dimensity 7400 processor, 1.5K AMOLED display and everything expected
Soon after launching the Infinix GT 30 Pro in India, the Transsion sub-brand has now confirmed that it will soon launch a vanilla version in the series. Here's a look at everything we know about the gaming-focused device ahead of its launch. Infinix GT 30 5G+ is shown in a new teaser video by Infinix in a green colour variant and with the same Cyber Mecha 2.0 design that we saw earlier on the GT 30 Pro. To recall, the GT 30 Pro came in two colour variants: Blade White and Dark Flare. While the former came with RGB lights, the latter featured RGB lighting. Given that the GT 30 will likely come with a green coloured variant with white lights, it will be interesting to see if the company also launches another variant with an RGB lighting setup. Apart from that, the phone is expected to look more or less the same as the GT 30 Pro with a vertical camera island, a plastic back and a bit of funky design that goes with the phone's whole gaming branding. It is also expected to come with shoulder triggers, which were a big part of the appeal of the GT 30 Pro. In case you aren't aware, these capacitive buttons come in handy during gaming and can be programmed to do certain tasks like shooting, focusing on a target or running. Infinix GT 30 is expected to feature a 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is likely to run on XOS 15 based on Android 15. The new UI from Infinix features no ads or bloatware, while having some nifty features like Smart Panel, floating windows and Dynamic Bar. The phone is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, which we have previously seen on the likes of the Vivo T4R and Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. It could also pack a 5,200mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. Infinix did not release a vanilla GT variant last year, so it's hard to pinpoint the price bracket for the GT 30. However, given that the GT 30 Pro is priced around the ₹ 25,000 mark, one would assume that the upcoming device should be priced under the ₹ 20,000 bracket.

Infinix aims to be known as gaming-first brand, eyes tier 2, tier 3 cities: India CEO
With mobile gaming booming in India, smartphone makers are racing to capture a slice of the action. Among them is Transsion sub-brand Infinix, which is now positioning itself as a gaming-first company in a market crowded with performance-driven phones. The company, which recently launched the GT 30 Pro in India, is now doubling down on its push to reach mobile gamers. 'We want to be known as the gaming-first brand,' Anish Kapoor, CEO of Infinix India, told Mint in a recent conversation. Citing industry data, Kapoor estimates there are now close to 600 million gamers in India, and says the market is evolving rapidly. 'It's growing phenomenally well in India,' he said. 'We want to be part of that journey… we are looking at building up that community and giving that journey to people probably in tier 2, tier 3 as well. Wherein they see it as an aspiration to be an e-sport gamer as it is a recognized medal sport now.' While many smartphone brands focus on raw specs to appeal to gamers, Kapoor said Infinix's approach is more holistic. 'They are talking about performance — we will bring you X chipset and that's the first thing, and that chipset is equal to gaming,' he said. 'If you look at the design language of the phone or anything else… our understanding of gaming is much different from what we have seen for these brands.' Kapoor believes a gamer's identity extends beyond the hardware specs. 'I think people want to look like a gamer, they want to be identified as a gamer. It is not that they are just carrying a normal phone and they think it's a gaming phone,' he said. 'So we are trying to build in a personality as well when we look at the overall capability of the phone.' With the new GT 30 Pro, Kapoor said Infinix wanted to take things further. The phone includes dedicated gaming triggers and improved haptics, features he claims are typically reserved for far more expensive phones. 'We are trying to bring a console-level experience,' he said. 'Putting gaming triggers in the phone and bringing it down to 26,000 or 27,000 rupees is not easy. You usually only see this in phones priced at 50,000 or higher.'

Chinese tech giants tap India as export base to US, Africa, West Asia
Chinese smartphone and electronics companies have started sending products from their Indian plants to places like West Asia, Africa, and even the United States, according to a report by The Economic Times. These markets were earlier mostly supplied by China and Vietnam. This shift follows the Indian government's efforts to encourage exports and the expansion of local factories in India. Regulatory filings show the strategy is already paying off. Oppo Mobiles India booked ₹272 crore in export revenue during FY24, while Realme Mobile Telecommunications (India) reported ₹114 crore, according to documents filed with the Registrar of Companies on May 12. Television push: Hisense steps out Appliance major Hisense Group plans to start shipping televisions and white goods made in India to West Asian and African markets early next year, the news report said. 'The designs and everything done in Hisense's China facility will be replicated here,' said Ajay Singhania, managing director of partner Epack Durable, which is investing ₹100 crore in a new plant at Sri City. Since border tensions flared in 2020, officials have informally urged Chinese firms to deepen localisation — working with Indian partners, building domestic distribution networks, exporting from India and inducting Indians into senior roles. While the first three targets are progressing, no major Chinese electronics company has yet appointed an Indian chief executive. Lenovo and Transsion join in Lenovo Group will soon export servers and laptops assembled in India, complementing Motorola smartphones already shipped to the US from Dixon Technologies. Dixon, which also makes handsets for Transsion Holdings' Itel, Tecno and Infinix brands, is expanding capacity by 50 per cent to meet overseas orders. Transsion has begun sending shipments to Africa. Industry executives say Haier is evaluating similar moves, and brands such as Vivo, OnePlus and Xiaomi are negotiating export partnerships, the news report said. Policy tailwinds: PLI scheme Several of the new export programmes ride on India's production-linked incentive scheme. Few Chinese brands qualified directly, but contract manufacturers such as Dixon are beneficiaries. A promoter of a leading assembler noted that exporting has been 'a long-time ask of the government,' predicting more companies will follow, the Economic Times reported. Smartphones became India's top export item in FY25, with shipments jumping 55 per cent year-on-year to $24.14 billion. Apple accounted for roughly $17.4 billion and Samsung for most of the rest. Now a clutch of Chinese brands is queuing up to join the list.

Infinix GT 30 Pro set to launch in India soon, colour variants officially revealed
Infinix has officially confirmed that its gaming-focused GT 30 will be launching in India soon. The Transsion sub-brand has also confirmed that the new device will be available in two colour variants, Blade White and Dark Flare, and will continue to feature RGB lighting on the back, just like its predecessor. The announcement by Infinix India comes shortly after the phone was introduced in the global market, alongside the XPAD GT gaming tablet, GT Buds 4 wireless earphones, and a power bank. While the specifications for the Indian variant of the GT 30 Pro aren't yet clear, a look at the global variant should give us a fair idea of what to expect. The Infinix GT 30 Pro (global variant) comes with a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 2160Hz touch sampling rate. It offers 1100 nits of brightness in High Brightness Mode (HBM) and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, with an IP64 rating for water and dust resistance. As for performance, the GT 30 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate processor with support for LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The GT 30 Pro comes with a dual camera setup with an 108MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens. On the front is a 13MP shooter for selfies and video calls. It packs a 5,500 mAh battery and comes with support for 45W of wired fast charging and 30W of wireless charging along with the ability to reverse wireless charge at 5W. The GT 30 Pro runs on Infinix's own XOS 15 ,based on Android 1,5 and is promised to receive two years of OS updates and three years of security patches. Infinix GT 30 Pro starts at MYR 1,299 (around ₹ 26,000) for the 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage variant, and MYR 1,499 (around ₹ 30,000) for the 12 GB RAM/512 GB storage variant. Based on the pricing of the GT 20 Pro and other phones launched by Infinix in the last year, it is safe to assume that the GT 30 Pro could also be priced under ₹ 25,000 mark in India. However, this is all speculation at the moment, and the official price will only be revealed when the GT 30 Pro makes its official debut in India
