Today in Moscow there was a large-scale presentation of new smartphones from Infinix – GT 10 Pro, ZERO 30 5G and a special version called NOTE 30 VIP Racing Edition.
Briefly about each of the models:
GT 10 Pro. The first smartphone in the new Infinix gaming line. This is a mid-budget, high-performance device with dedicated gaming capabilities, designed to provide access to professional gaming to the widest audience of users.
ZERO 30 5G. Infinix’s new flagship model brings 4K 60fps video capabilities to the mass consumer segment. In addition, the device stands out with a screen refresh rate of 144 Hz.
NOTE 30 VIP Racing andbuilding. The embodiment of the spirit of street racing. The special version NOTE 30 VIP was created in order to accurately convey the feeling of speed and drive that racers experience while sitting behind the wheel of their supercars. To achieve this effect, the design teams of Infinix and the Design Works center, part of the BMW group of companies, not only used a set of decorative elements symbolizing one or another aspect of racing, but also used an unusual material made of leather that can transmit light.

An unusual smartphone in terms of design. Black and gold coloring of the translucent rear panel, cyberpunk style or, as it is written on the official website, “cyber-fur”: design with pseudo-metallic elements, gears, decorative screws, and so on. The device looks unusual and quite original.
The gadget also has LED lighting on the back for five different scenarios: incoming calls, notifications, games (only if it supports this function), charging and turning on the smartphone.
There are two versions of the gadget on sale: dark and light. Like our souls, everyone chooses what suits their character.
GT 10 Pro in white
The device dimensions are 162.66 x 75.89 x 8.1 mm, weight is 187 grams. Quite a compact smartphone by today’s standards. True, the width could have been made a little smaller: after all, 75 mm is too much for a 6.6-inch screen.
The degree of protection against moisture and dust is IP53.
By the way, you can purchase a cool accessory for the GT 10 Pro that resembles clothespins: it is needed in order to get additional control buttons. Thus, the smartphone turns into a gamepad with a screen.
Among the features: the gadget is equipped with a special vibration motor with tactile feedback.
The screen diagonal of the Infinix GT 10 Pro is 6.67 inches, the resolution is 2460×1080 pixels, the refresh rate as in adult models is 60/90/120 Hz, and the sampling frequency is up to 360 Hz. The matrix is made using AMOLED technology with PWM dimming 1920 Hz. This is cool because the display won’t strobe. The stated brightness is about 900 nits. 100% DCI-P3 color gamut is supported.
Inside you will find a 5000 mAh battery. In general, a classic capacity for such devices. But they brought in 45 W fast charging with PD 3.0. The manufacturer promises that there will be no overheating during active use of the device and simultaneous charging of the battery: some clever materials and cooling technology using water vapor are used. The GT 10 Pro charges from 1 to 75% in just 30 minutes.
The processor is MediaTek Dimensity 8050, a fresh SoC with a 6 nm process technology introduced this year. The powerful 8-core processor with quad ARM Cortex-A78 is capable of accelerating to 3 GHz and providing high performance. Combined with the Mali-G77 graphics core, the 8050 processor is an excellent gaming solution that provides stable FPS in games.
In addition to the hardware, there are 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM (can be expanded up to 16 GB using built-in memory) and a 256 GB UFS 3.1 drive. There is a slot for microSD up to 2 TB.
The device contains a powerful gaming engine called All-Sensory: a set of software and hardware solutions designed to ensure maximum gaming performance and user comfort during games.
Two stereo speakers are responsible for the sound, and DTS technology is used for signal output.
Cameras. Everything is very simple here: there is a main module of 108 MP, a front module of 32 MP. The rest is uninteresting: 2 MP for background blur and 2 MP macro. We will do a review – we will definitely show all the modes of the device.
Let me remind you that Infinix GT 10 Pro is already on sale. On average you can find from 28,000 rubles.

The company presents this gadget as a flagship solution for shooting photos and videos.
The device is nice, looks interesting due to the camera block, materials and colors. The ZERO 30 5G comes in three colors: Golden Hour, Roman Green and Fantasy Purple. At the presentation, people asked about the names of the colors, since they sound strange to the ear, especially “Golden Hour”. Well, “Roman Green” is also out of this world.
The gadgets differ not only in color, but also in materials: the green device has a leather-like back panel, and the other two have a rough panel and a semi-gloss finish.
The Infinix ZERO 30 5G smartphone has a waterfall design. That is, all its edges are sloping, including the front part. A controversial point: some people don’t like it, while others are a fan of smooth and rounded shapes.
For some reason, the manufacturer doesn’t say much about the display, although there is something to say here:
AMOLED matrix; PWM at a frequency of 2160 Hz; Brightness up to 1000 nits; 100% DCI-P3; Screen refresh rate up to 144 Hz; Corning Gorilla Glass. True, they didn’t say what generation; 10-bit color.
I recorded videos about the ZERO 30 5G outdoors, and the display seemed simply excellent due to its brightness, color saturation, and smoothness.
The battery here is like everyone else’s – 5000 mAh. But charging is super fast – 68 W, charging the battery up to 80% in just 30 minutes. Of course, the PD 3.0 protocol is supported.
If we talk about the chipset, the ZERO 30 5G uses MediaTek Dimensity 8020 5G. Inside the SoC there are 8 cores working in two clusters, 6 nm process technology. The difference from the 8050 model is that the latter has a performance core with a frequency of 3000 Hz.
The smartphone is equipped with an impressive amount of RAM – 12 GB. Storage: 256 GB UFS 3.1.
Features: stereo speakers, NFC chip, IP53 protection.
There was a lot of talk about the camera at the presentation. The main point is support for 4K 60 fps with optical stabilization on the main camera. And again 4K 60 fps, but on the front camera.
A fashion model was invited to the event to demonstrate the camera’s capabilities. They clearly showed in what difficult conditions ZERO 30 5G can operate.
In addition, this smartphone is equipped with a wide-angle lens and a 13 MP sensor. Another 2 MP for bokeh.
The start of sales is scheduled for September 25, 2023. The promotional price will be 32,990 rubles, and will later “settle down” at around 36,990 rubles.
Note 30 VIP Racing Edition
As far as I understand, in our country the model will be called “Racing Edition”. In fact, this is a gift version of the Note 30 VIP device, that is, according to Infinix representatives, it will not be presented to the general public. Simply put, for bloggers and journalists who will write about the gadget.
How is the Racing Edition different from the regular Note 30 VIP?
First of all – appearance. The design was prepared by Infinix specialists together with representatives of the Design Works center, part of the BMW group of companies. The model received the prestigious IF Design Award 2023 for innovation in product design.
Of course, such an unusual device will be packaged in a large and stylish box. And the kit will include 15 W wireless charging and XE-27 TWS headphones.
The gadget’s interface was also created specifically for this version of the smartphone. It blends harmoniously with the external elements of the case.
The back panel is made of leather, and on the right side there are thin lines with LED backlighting in BWM colors. The manufacturer positions this design as a symbol of the speed and performance of branded smartphones.
The technical specifications do not differ from those of the Infinix Note 30 VIP.

As a conclusion
Special thanks to Infinix for a concise and informative presentation. Usually such events last about an hour, and if there is a lot of food, they can last even longer. Infinix, it seems to me, did it in 30 minutes, showed three devices and… one pretty model. Beauty!
As for smartphones, they will set the stage in our market. Of course, due to the most balanced parameters and prices. I don’t think you will even argue with me.
Gadgets are bright, powerful, unusual. And what else does a demanding user need today – emotions! Here they are from Infinix in full height.
