Although relatively unfamiliar to Vietnamese users, Infinix phones are highly regarded for their reasonable prices, attractive designs, and good configurations. In this article, join Mytour in exploring a new phone introduced by the brand a few months ago, called Infinix NOTE 30 5G.
The standout feature of the Infinix NOTE 30 5G, in my opinion, is that the manufacturer has equipped the product with a variety of accompanying accessories. Specifically, inside the box, you'll find: a 45W fast charger, charging cable, tempered glass screen protector, SIM ejector tool, and notably, a beautifully designed phone case.
The Infinix NOTE 30 5G stands out with its square and masculine design, creating an attractive appearance with flat edges and meticulously designed rounded corners. This design not only exudes luxury and modernity but also reflects a new trend in the smartphone industry, adopted and highly praised by many manufacturers, including Apple with its iPhone lineup.
The device measures 168.5 x 76.5 x 8.5mm and weighs 205 grams. When held, it feels slightly hefty and longer than my current phone. However, after using it for a while, you'll easily get accustomed and feel comfortable with this product.
Although the frame of the Infinix NOTE 30 5G is made of plastic, I appreciate the good finishing quality. The device feels solid in hand, with no flimsiness or lack of elegance. The glass back enhances the aesthetic appeal of the product.
The back of the device is crafted from frosted glass, effectively minimizing sweat and fingerprint smudges. Notably, Infinix has cleverly added a color-shifting effect to the black-green version I'm using. When tilted, this effect creates a visually pleasing sensation, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the product.
Additionally, this Infinix phone creates a striking focal point on the back, thanks to the large camera module that occupies nearly one-third of the area. The rectangular camera module has a glossy finish to stand out while maintaining harmony with the device's color.
I have positive impressions of the grip and feel of the Infinix NOTE 30 5G. Although the phone is slightly heavy and may cause fatigue during prolonged use, the edges provide good grip, and the textured back is not too slippery. This enhances the user experience and provides a reassuring feel during daily use.
The edges of the device are glossy and color-matched with the back. I commend the manufacturer for achieving a smooth transition effect between the edges and both front and back surfaces, ensuring a seamless feel without any sharp edges during use.
On the right side of the Infinix NOTE 30 5G, you'll find the power button and the volume rocker. I appreciate phones that place all buttons on the same side, as it makes horizontal operation easier and prevents wobbling when placed on a flat surface.
On the left side is where the SIM tray is located.
The bottom edge houses the charging port, microphone, charging port, and external speaker.
The top edge features an additional external speaker, enhancing the audio system for a better multimedia experience. Notably, the device's speakers are tuned by JBL, promising excellent audio quality in its segment.
The Infinix NOTE 30 5G comes with a 6.7-inch IPS LTPS display, Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels, and supports the DCI-P3 color gamut. I appreciate the device's screen specifications, delivering high detail with a pixel density of around 396 ppi, true-to-life colors, and a comfortable operating space. It allows easy multitasking with split-screen tasks and minimized windows.
The screen brightness of the device is impressive, reaching a maximum of 580 nits. This enables me to review captured images or read notifications and messages easily even in bright sunlight.
The screen bezels are well-optimized, but the 'chin' below is slightly thicker due to the punch-hole housing the front camera, which is a bit larger. This is a point that I'm not particularly fond of in the device's display.
The Infinix NOTE 30 5G boasts a standout configuration, featuring the MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chip manufactured on a 6nm process with 8 cores (2 x 2.4GHz Cortex-A76 & 6 x 2.0GHz Cortex-A55). Paired with 8GB of physical RAM, expandable by an additional 8GB of virtual RAM, and 256GB of internal storage.
The device excels in handling my basic tasks such as web browsing, movie streaming, social media entertainment, and playing popular games like PUBG Mobile at suitable settings. I highly appreciate its multitasking capability, and the phone can expand virtual RAM by an additional 8GB.
Scoring 752 in single-core and 2,084 in multi-core performance on GeekBench 6, and 427,486 on the Antutu benchmark, the device achieves impressive results in its category, aligning well with the actual performance experienced.
Another highlight of the Infinix NOTE 30 5G is its rear camera system, featuring a 108 MP main camera, AI camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The image quality is detailed, the AI camera accurately recognizes subjects, and the device offers various photo modes.
However, the images tend to push colors a bit higher and appear more vivid and 'glowing' than reality. While this may appeal to those who enjoy capturing vibrant scenes like landscapes, it does pose some limitations in post-processing and may lose some details in the process.
Let's take a look at some photos captured with the device!
The 5,000 mAh battery of Infinix's phone is a common sight in its segment, not overly outstanding, but the device's highlight lies in its impressive 45W fast charging capability. This significantly reduces the charging time for the phone.
Overall, the Infinix NOTE 30 5G remains a reasonable choice in the budget phone segment. The device boasts an attractive design, good configuration, a spacious and sharp display, notably featuring the 108 MP main camera and the ability for 45W fast charging. I believe this device is a suitable option for young users who enjoy exploring a feature-rich phone with a low budget, without focusing too much on the brand factor.
Unfortunately, the Infinix Note 30 5G is not officially available in Vietnam. The product is priced at 17,990 Indian Rupees (around 5.2 million VND) in the international market. Readers can explore the 4G version with a similar design and slightly lower configuration, but with a more attractive price at the end of the article.
