Infinix Note 30 5G Review
Infinix Note 30 5G – Unboxing
The packaging of the device is similar to the standard Infinix Note series. We get the device in an attractive darkish lime green colour official Infinix packaging.
As we open the retail box, we are initially presented with the smartphone itself, packed in a plastic wrap with product branding and key features neatly printed on top. The device we had for this review is the Magic Black colour variant that quickly catches your eye for its stylish lustrous back finish. (More on the design in the design section.)
Placing the device on the side, we then move on to what else Infinix has bundled inside the retail box. With the smartphone, you get a SIM ejector tool, a 45-watt Fastcharge Adapter, a USB cable, a User Manual, an Infinix warranty card, and some official paperwork. Moreover, Infinix has also bundled a Screen Protector, and a Clear case for the immediate use of the device.
Based on some rumours, we were expecting 3.5mm earphones with the phone. However, to our disappointment, Infinix has apparently bundled the earphones only with Note 30 and Note 30 Pro models and not with Note 30 5G. May be based on your geographical region, you can get earphones inside the box.
So, here are the In-The-Box contents of the Infinix Note 30 5G –
- Infinix Note 30 5G
- SIM Ejector Tool
- 45-watt Fastcharge Adapter
- USB Cable
- Screen Protector
- Clear Case
- User manual
- Infinix warranty card
- Official paperwork
Now, let’s move on to the design.
Infinix Note 30 5G – Design
If we had to say one thing about the design of this smartphone, we would say the Infinix Note 30 5G looks great at first glance. The Magic Black colour variant that we had for this review instantly feels attractive to hold. The boxy body and glittering yet somewhat matt finish of the back panel makes it look both classy and jazzy at the same time.
At the rear, you will immediately see the large camera housing that features the triple camera system. The camera house is quite large and takes up almost half of the back panel.
Appreciating this design pattern completely depends on your personal preferences as some users appreciate a chunky form at the back while others may not.
Personally, we quite like this design pattern when it is aesthetically done. And Note 30 5G got it right accounting to us.
The back panel changes colours depending on how the light hits it, giving off an attractive iridescent effect. In darker areas, the body turns into simple yet attractive plain matte black colour which looks even better.
Then there’s the signature Infinix logo at the lower portion.
A fact we love is that you won’t leave any nasty fingerprints on this phone since it’s extremely smudge resistant.
At the bottom, you get one out of two stereo speakers, a USB C port and a 3.5mm audio jack. The volume and power buttons can be found on the right side while the dual SIM and micro SD card slot is on the left. Up top, we can find two out of two stereo speakers and a signature JBL Logo.
If we compare it to other Infinix smartphones, the Note 30 5G weighing 204.7g does weigh quite a bit more. However, it feels sturdy with a build quality that is quite exceptional. Despite its size, the one-hand operation seems to be manageable for the device.
Although we do wish Infinix chromed up the power button as well to match the rest of the smartphone design as the given power button seems out-of-place.
As for as the design goes, the overall look and feel of Note 30 5G does match the expectation when we project it for the flagship experience Infinix is supposedly aiming for.
Iconic Design & Immersive Software Experience

New Material and Finishing Superiority Everywhere |
Flash Finishing Streaming light and overflowing colors. Bright Middle Frame NCVM process, flagship quality |
|
Fashion Colors Classic and Trendy Coexist |
Magic Black: Classic black, revealing a magical aura Interstellar Blue: The blue from beyond the earth Sunset Gold: Golden like the sunset afterglow |
|
AI Noise Reduction Technology |
AI Noise Reduction on the Infinix NOTE 30 5G uses Infinix’s proprietary algorithms to intelligently separate voice audio from external noise. So, whether you’re taking a call, conducting an online meeting, or chatting with teammates in a game (PUBG/MLBB, etc.), your voice will remain crystal clear. |
|
IP53 Rating |
When using in outdoor environments where there may be exposure to water or dust. For example, someone who enjoys hiking or camping may find this feature useful, as they may encounter rain or dust while using their device. Similarly, someone who frequently uses their smartphone while cooking or doing other activities that involve water or dust may also benefit from IP53 Rating. |
|
NFC |
The biggest & best use case scenario for the NFC feature in Note 30 5G is that its for the consumers who frequently make purchases at stores that accept NFC payments, as it provides a secure and convenient payment option. |
Infinix Note 30 5G – Display
The IPS LTPS LCD display measures 6.78 inches with full HD Plus resolution, and more importantly, it comes with a 120hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display also has the support of Smart Refresh 2.1 and Magellan Engine 1.1 promising a stellar gaming and streaming experience. We obviously had to try to believe it.
We started simply by streaming some YouTube videos first. The casual streaming experience is definitely impressive. You can stream apps such as YouTube at 1440p, which is great. The colours while streaming seem very vivid but you can take it one step further with some changes in the settings.
YOUTUBE STREAM
There’s no lag or slowing down when swiping through the menu or just browsing social media. The screen is overall smooth for an everyday user.
We also tried using the device outside to check the screen brightness and the results were pretty underwhelming in direct sunlight. The screen itself is quite bright, however, gaming or streaming outside in day time or under direct sunlight wasn’t clear. Streaming in shady areas, on the other hand, was decent enough.
What we loved is the Eye Care feature that automatically makes the screen look warmer or cooler depending on your settings.
Not to mention, you do have the JBL-tuned stereo speakers here, which accentuates the overall display experience while gaming and streaming.
The bright and high refresh rate display also enhances the gaming experience. You can also enjoy superior gaming on this display just by tweaking a few settings here and there.
Speaking of gaming, let’s talk about the performance of Note 30 5G.
Best Entertainment Experience in the Segment
|
6.78” FHD+ Display
(100% DCI-P3 Color Gamut, Big Aspect Ratio with 92% Screen to Body Ratio) |
The definite choice for entertainment purposes such as watching movies, videos, and playing games. The 6.78″ large FHD+ display, DCI-P3 Color Gamut and wide aspect ratio would provide users with an immersive viewing experience, making them view the content in detail with sharper & natural colors, high resolution images & even the minutest details of the scene in the content they are viewing. |
|
Widevine L1 |
Streaming services or OTTs these days use DRM technologies to protect their content from piracy and ensure that only authorized users can access the content. |
|
120Hz Refresh Rate + 240Hz Touch Sampling Rate |
120Hz Refresh Rate & 240Hz touch Sampling rate means that the screen can refresh more frequently, resulting in a smoother and more fluid display, while a higher touch sampling rate means that the touchscreen can detect and respond to touch inputs more quickly and accurately |
|
TUV Rheinland Eye Care Certification |
Blue light emission from screens can cause eye strain, headaches, and other health issues, particularly when users are exposed to it for extended periods and TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification is a display technology that reduces the blue light emission from the smartphone’s screen. This can be used in this device by activation Eye-Care Mode in Settings |
|
JBL Quality
Dual Stereo Speakers High-Res Certified DTS Sound |
Dual speakers mean that the smartphone has two speakers, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the phone, providing stereo sound. INFINIX & JBL collaborated to deliver the best aural experience. JBL Surround Sound provides a surreal surround sound experience, making the audio sound more immersive and lifelike. High-Res Certification means that the audio quality meets a higher standard for audio playback, delivering audio that is more detailed and nuanced. |
Infinix Note 30 5G – Performance
Powering the Infinix Note 30 5G is the latest MediaTek Dimensity 6080 5G processor and it comes with 8 GB of RAM. However, there is an additional 8 GB of extended RAM, which totals 16 GB of RAM.
The device we had for this review comes with 256 GB of internal storage, which technically is a lot. However, for those of you who may still feel it’s lacking in the storage department, you do get the option to expand the device storage via the microSD card slot.
The Note 30 runs on Infinix XOS 13 which is based on Android v13.
To start with, we conducted some prominent benchmark testing on the device to understand where it actually stands with respect to performance.
Here are some Benchmark results –
The smartphone runs day-to-day apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Tick Tock very well as expected.
However, for all gaming enthusiasts, we are sure most of you would want to know about its gaming performance. To get some answers, we tried playing multiple games on the device and rarely felt any issues with respect to the response or otherwise device behaviour.
We also conducted a 3D Mark test to check the gaming capabilities of the smartphone. Here’s the result of 3D Mark testing –
As for heavy gamers, we’re happy to report that it overall smoothly runs graphics-heavy games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail.
The only drawback when playing such games on this phone is that you have to tweak the graphic settings for smoother gameplay. Also, we did notice some lags and frame drops with Star Rail especially when you speed up battle.
Overall, we are quite happy with the performance of this phone for the price and to give you a better idea of how it performs we tried running some basic benchmarks.
Flagship Performance and Biggest Memory in the Segment
|
MediaTek Dimensity 6080 6nm Processor |
The Latest & Powerful Octa-Core Dimensity 6080 6nm chipset does not only deliver supreme performance in day to day task but also the 6nm process allows the chip to have more transistors providing ultra-efficient performance and maintaining lower power consumption. |
|
Dual Sim 5G with 14 5G Bands |
This allows users to use two SIM cards simultaneously, both supporting 5G connectivity and with support for a wide range of 5G bands. This feature is particularly useful for users who frequently travel internationally, or for those who want to keep their personal and work numbers separate. |
|
UPS: Ultra Powerful Signal Say goodbye to lag and latency |
Through the combination of software and hardware, the signal is stable in the scene of hand-holding on the horizontal screen; the network communication efficiency is improved for signal jitter, connection jump, data freeze, and weak network optimization scenarios |
|
Upto 16GB RAM* (8GB+8GB) |
Memory fusion technology, “change” idle redundant ROM into temporary RAM to use 8+8GB, the phone’s ROM can be temporarily converted into RAM, increasing the size of the cache & Overall RAM as 16GB |
|
Massive 256GB Storage |
This is a significant amount of storage space for storing various types of content such as photos, videos, music, and documents. With 256GB internal storage, users can store a large number of files without having to worry about running out of space. |
Infinix Note 30 5G Camera
The aspect that really surprised us about Infinix Note 30 5G was the camera integrated into this device. You get a 108-megapixel main shooter paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor and an AI camera. On the front, we have a 16-megapixel selfie shooter that works smoothly for video calls.
We tried taking some shots and found the camera works great during the day or in well-lit environments. Here are some shots taken at different times of the day –
The 108-megapixel main sensor produces images with nice details. When zoomed in on the other hand, results remained underwhelming. What was impressive was how the camera worked in imperfect lighting conditions.
However, as was noticed in many sample photos, the colour reproduction can be inaccurate at times with reds turning pink in some areas when in low lighting conditions.
Another thing we noticed is how the standard mode was the best option as most of the shots taking in standard mode had the best results compared to other camera mode options available.
Similar to the photos, the videos we tried shooting were great in well-lit environments too. However, it’s not the best in low-lighting conditions.
The main lens can shoot up videos to a maximum of 2K at 30 frames per second. Here’s a sample video we shot in the daylight.
DAYLIGHT CAMERA Performance
Night CAMERA Performance
An issue we noticed as we tested the video shooting capabilities, it did not seem that stable when shooting at 2K. Although there is a stabilized function, its use is quite limited as with stabilization turned on it can only record video at 1080p at 30 frames per second.
We also tried recording videos using the selfie shooter and the results seemed good enough for social media. Obviously, it’s not the best but considering the price point of this device, it’s definitely good enough.
Additional Camera Features
| Feature | Description |
| Sky Remapping
|
This feature segments the sky and replaces it with more vivid and diverse effects, renders the foreground with matching filters, breaks the constraints of time and space, and allows you to shoot large-scale movies. You get 12 in-built effects. |

| Street Photography Filter | If you are into street photography then you will love this Note 30 5G feature. It is packed with street photography filters that put cool, stylish snaps right at your fingertips. |
Infinix Note 30 5G Battery
Powering the Infinix Note 30 5G is a 5000mAh battery, which is more than enough for day-to-day use and even gaming by today’s standards.
From our experience of testing the device, it lasts almost an entire day including some light gaming hours. However, you still need to charge the phone at the end of the day almost like any other phone in the market.
In our PC Mark work 3.0 battery test, the phone lasted 14 hours and 14 minutes.
Infinix has packed a 45-watt fast charger with the Note 30 5G, which although is not the fastest out there it’s definitely better than the 5-watt we usually get with smartphones in this price segment.
Infinix has also tried to push for battery technology innovation this time around. The Note 30 5G comes with some unique battery features that we hardly get to see in this price segment. Here are some additional battery features –
Additional Battery Features
| Battery Feature | Description |
| 45W Type-C Fast Charging
(Charge 75% in just 30mins*) |
The dual-channel fast charging technology with two 2:1
