Highlights

  • The Infinix GT 10 Pro boasts a distinct gamer aesthetic, characterized by a vibrant back panel design and orange accents that make it an eye-catching device for gaming enthusiasts.

  • Powering the device is the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 8050 SoC and 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, ensuring smooth performance and quick responsiveness, especially during high-demand tasks like gaming and multi-app usage.

  • Equipped with a 108MP primary camera, the Infinix GT 10 Pro delivers detailed and vibrant shots under good lighting conditions, making it a decent choice for photography enthusiasts on a budget.

  • The smartphone features a 6.67-inch AMOLED 120Hz display, offering clear visuals, rich colours, and a smooth interface, enhancing the user’s overall viewing and gaming experience.

The Infinix GT 10 Pro has been announced in the Indian market for a price of Rs XXXX, putting it firmly as a higher-tier budget offering.

While sporting an ostentatious back panel compared to some other offerings in the segment, the GT 10 Pro also has a few other things going for it.

This includes a new chipset from the stable of MediaTek, a 108MP primary camera, a software skin stripped down to the essentials and more.
Infinix is known for packing a punch for its price and in this review let’s find out if the GT 10 Pro follows suit.

The Infinix GT 10 Pro sets a bold standard with its remarkably distinctive rear panel. Clearly drawing inspiration from the Nothing Phone (2), it showcases a translucent-like aesthetic that’s achieved with plastic.

But don’t be fooled – this isn’t a truly transparent back, rather, it’s more akin to an additional skin that gives the illusion of see-through. Yet, this doesn’t take away from the device’s appealing look.

There’s an undeniable energy to its design that gamers, in particular, will find incredibly enticing.

Now that this is out of the way, let’s talk a bit about the other aspects of the device. The phone has rather large camera housing which encloses three sensors.

We have the Cyber Black colour variant which has several shades of black and grey along with orange accents that give the phone a very gamer-like look.

A thin strip just beside the camera module lights up as the charging indicator adding a new UI element to the device.

Apart from that the phone’s exterior is quite standard. We do like that the device is quite light at 187g and has a reasonable thickness of 8.1mm.

There’s also a dual-speaker setup which is decently loud and, for wired audio enthusiasts, a 3.5mm headphone jack is also present.

The USB Type-C port is at the bottom and a dual-SIM plus microSD card slot is present on the left.
As for the construction, the GT 10 Pro is made using a unibody plastic frame and has a volume rocker bar on the side below which a power button sits.

Talking about the display quality, you get an AMOLED panel up front, an uncommon sight in the budget world. It measures 6.67-inch in size and the company does claim a 93 percent screen-to-body ratio.

Indeed the bezels surrounding the panel do seem minimal and surprisingly quite symmetrical. However, the waterdrop notch feels quite dated and could have been converted to a punch-hole.

Even so, the visual quality of the panel remains, for the most part, quite nice.
We did notice a slight yellow shift in colours when viewing it from an angle and although the resolution is FHD+, there was a bit of pixelation here and there.

The panel does support the DCI-P3 colour gamut but has no HDR certification for supported content on OTT platforms.

In any case, the device is more than sufficient for your usual brand of media consumption on social media platforms and YouTube.

The phone also has up to 900nits of peak brightness which we feel is good enough for a sunny day outdoors.
Finally, the 120Hz refresh rate works like a charm, keeping the whole browsing experience very smooth.

The 108MP triple-camera setup on the device is just about decent but if you had hopes of some amazing photography, then it would be best to keep them tempered.

The usual daylight snaps that come out from the device are packed in detailing and vibrant colours – sometimes a little too vibrant.
Saturation levels are more pronounced with the dedicated AI mode turned on, with the bright greens in foliage being particularly apparent.

The dynamic range and other photographic metrics were not an issue when the sun was shining brightly.

However, the phone’s nighttime shots are not up to the mark. The focusing and shutter speeds always posed a problem in capturing a halfway decent image.

Overprocessing and compensation to avoid noise levels smoothen out the details by quite a bit. Even with the use of its Super Night AI-based feature, the level of exposure and highlights around a subject leaves much to be desired.

Apart from this the device also has a 2MP depth shooter which is poor even in good lighting conditions.
The same can be said for the macro sensor as well, whose 2MP resolution makes it very hard to gather a sufficient amount of detailing.

Portrait photography, which included bokeh shots, was in the acceptable range with edge detection having some scope for improvement.
In terms of video, the phone is able to churn out a maximum of 4K @ 30fps but it is optically stabilised.

Finally, you also get a 32MP selfie camera, that takes images that are slightly overprocessed in terms of facial detailing but are otherwise quite nice.

Infinix GT 10 Pro: Performance and Gaming

The Infinix GT 10 Pro is the first device to harbour the capabilities of the MediaTek Dimensity 8050 SoC. Slightly underclocked than last year’s Dimensity 8100, the 6nm chipset is still highly efficient and powerful for most processing tasks.

During our time with the phone, there were virtually no instances where the device faced any kind of lag when switching between heavy social media or gaming apps.

The 8GB of fast LPDDR4X RAM does help a lot in this and you do have the option of virtually extending it by a further 8GB.

Benchmarking numbers indicated the device’s proficiency in performance and also maintaining it under sustained load.

For example, on Geekbench 6 the device garnered scores of 1,125 and 3,324 on single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

Also on PCMark 10’s Work benchmark the GT 10 Pro had a very good score of 1,375. As for the GPU performance, 3Dmark put the handset’s capability at a score of 1,303 on the Wild Life Extreme test.

For real-world gaming, which the device is clearly meant for, our tests yielded favourable results. First of all, we also got a separate box along with the main smartphone unit.

This box has two shoulder triggers and thumb socks that will give you an edge in gaming.

We tried both products and found them to be very well in tune for extended gaming sessions. The phone is customised with software tricks to run BGMI at 90fps with the high frame rate mode setting.

We did play on the GT 10 Pro at the Extreme 60fps option with graphics set at Smooth and encountered no issues whatsoever. At 90fps, the game did appear to slightly lag after about an hour of gameplay.

The device also boasts a high-end 360Hz touch sampling rate, providing ultra-responsive touch input that’s ideal for fast-paced mobile gaming.

In addition, it features a high-precision gyroscope, enhancing orientation and rotational tracking for an immersive experience in augmented reality applications and games. Further enhancing the gaming and multimedia experience is a 4D vibration motor.

This adds a tactile dimension to on-screen actions, making interactions more engaging. Overall, the handset’s gaming capabilities are commendable.

The GT 10 Pro runs on a proprietary version of Infinix’s XOS 13 skin, which is based on Android 13.
Earlier the company was guilty of shipping an excessive amount of bloatware and pre-installed apps in its software, which not only diminished the user experience but also proved to be a burden on the UI.

For the GT 10 Pro specifically, the company has dramatically reduced the number of apps, which in turn entails a more clean experience.

The interface does come with a home screen and an app drawer, and it offers a wide selection of widgets. A particularly handy one is the Suggestions widget, which displays apps you frequently use.

Nevertheless, the extensive theming might feel unfamiliar to those accustomed to smartphones with simpler skins or nearly-stock Android software.

Rounding out the device’s feature set is a loud dual-speaker setup. This produces robust, high-quality audio, ensuring that media and calls are clear and enjoyable, even in noisy environments.

The Infinix box itself can be repurposed as a makeshift speaker for even louder audio quality, which we think is quite innovative.

The device also comes equipped with an in-display fingerprint sensor and supports 5G connectivity. No issues were encountered using the Jio network in Noida.

The Infinix GT 10 Pro is powered by a robust 5,000mAh battery, providing reliable, all-day performance.
To complement this, the device supports 45W fast charging, which we think is a bit slow compared to what is currently the standard in the smartphone world.

When it comes to usage, the phone offers decent screen-on time. You can expect around six hours of continuous use for regular tasks.

Even for power-intensive activities like gaming, the device holds up well, providing approximately four hours of screen-on time.

This means you can game, stream, or work longer without constantly worrying about charging your device. It is easily a one-day device and you can push it to nearly two days on moderate usage.

Infinix GT 10 Pro: Final Verdict

Infinix GT 10 Pro India Launch
Infinix GT 10 Pro

Infinix GT 10 Pro stands out with its ostentatious back panel design and solid performance features.
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8050 SoC and has 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, enhancing gaming and overall performance.

While the 108MP primary camera offers adequate results in good lighting, low-light and wide-angle photos could be improved.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED display provides clear visuals and a smooth interface, thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate.

Despite a somewhat slower 45W charging, the 5,000mAh battery ensures long-lasting usage, making the phone a value-for-money proposition in the higher-tier budget segment.
Overall the phone is a healthy recommendation in the upper-budget segment.
