Infinix Note 30 Pro: The Hidden Gem of The Mid-Range Market?

Infinix Note 30 Pro Review: The Hidden Gem of The Mid-Range Market?

0:00 - Intro
This is the Infinix Note 30 Pro, a solid mid-range contender that offers an array of features at a competitive price.

0:21 - Design
First, let’s start with the design. The color options include Interstellar Blue, Magic Black (with a glass back), and Sunset Gold (with a leather-like back). The back panel of the device features a subtle rectangle pattern that reflects light.
The build quality is commendable, given the phone's lightweight and sturdy plastic frame.
The front is graced with a flat display that smoothly tapers off into the middle frame, with compact bezels housing a selfie LED flash in the top frame.
The phone comes with IP53 ingress protection.
The control layout adheres to the standard design, with volume rocker, power button, and fingerprint reader positioned on the right side.
The back exhibits a frosted satin-like finish with a colorful accent pattern around the cameras, which don't protrude significantly. On the left side, you'll find the dual-SIM tray that supports nano-SIM cards, along with a slot for a microSD card.
The top features a subtle "SOUND BY JBL" logo and speaker outputs.
The bottom side houses the 3.5mm audio jack, main microphone, and a Type-C port, and it does not have a notification LED.

2:22 - Display
Now, let’s talk about the display. The Note 30 Pro sports a 6.78-inch screen.
The display resolution stands at 2400 x 1080 pixels. You can expect good detail in your photos and videos, and text should appear sharp and easy to read. This is backed up by a respectable pixel density of 388 pixels per inch.
When it comes to the screen's aspect ratio, it sits at 20:9.
The display has been criticized for its subpar brightness, featuring a peak brightness of 900 nits, meaning it may struggle under direct sunlight and in other bright environments.
Similarly, the device's color reproduction has been noted as inconsistent, and seems to suffer from color shifts or misrepresentations that might affect the overall image quality.
This phone features a 120Hz refresh rate. However, the panel exhibits sluggish pixel response, resulting in ghosting and halos during scrolling.
As for the viewing angles, typically, AMOLED screens offer excellent viewing angles, with little color shift or contrast loss even when viewed from the side.
The device is noted to have a high contrast ratio, thanks to its AMOLED display.

4:40 - Camera
Now, let’s talk about the camera. Starting with the rear camera setup, the star of the show is a 108MP wide lens, complemented by a 2MP f 2.4 depth sensor and a QVGA camera.
The Note 30 Pro is able to capture decent photos in well-lit conditions, providing a good level of detail and dynamic range. However, the colors tend to be oversaturated.
The secondary 2MP depth sensor is employed when you're using portrait mode, adding an aesthetically pleasing blur or 'bokeh' effect to the background of your shots.
Moving on to the zoom capabilities, the device doesn't have a dedicated telephoto lens. However, it seems to handle 2x zoom shots well, maintaining a good level of detail.
Now, let's take a look at the low-light performance. The Note 30 Pro appears to do a decent job in dim conditions, producing images with good detail, natural colors, and a wide dynamic range.
The front-facing camera is a 16MP f2.0 wide lens. Selfie lovers might find it a bit hit-or-miss. It captures decent shots with good detail, but it doesn't seem to perform exceptionally well in terms of texture reproduction and skin tone accuracy.
Onto the video capabilities, the Note 30 Pro records videos at up to 1440p at 30fps with the main camera, and up to 1080p at 30fps with the selfie camera. The quality is good, capturing satisfactory detail and natural colors.

7:15 - Battery
Now, let’s talk about the battery. The Note 30 Pro is equipped with a substantial 5000 mAh battery.
The phone seems to have a 120-hour endurance rating, indicating that it can last about five full days on a single charge under moderate usage.
One key aspect of this power management is the Infinix All-Round FastCharge technology. This allows the Note 30 Pro to recharge at an advertised rate of 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes.
The phone also features 15W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

8:12 - Hardware and Performance
Now, let’s talk about the hardware and performance. The Note 30 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, a capable performer in the mid-range market. Coupled with a Mali-G57 GPU, the phone provides respectable graphics capabilities.
The Note 30 Pro comes with 8GB of RAM, which is a decent amount for a mid-range smartphone.
The device comes with 128GB of internal storage. It also has the provision for external storage through a microSD slot.
