introduction
Infinix is gaining traction outside of its usual markets, mostly thanks to its excellent mid-range offerings. Together with subsidiaries Tecno and Itel, Transsion Holding’s Chinese manufacturer has captured significant market shares in Africa and South Asia and has been looking to expand its global reach.
Today we have the Infinix Note 30 for review. To clarify, this is the 4G version, not the 5G model. The Note series is kind of mid-range for Infinix. The Note models aren’t quite as affordable and entry-level as the Hot line and are actually closer in character to the company’s higher-end Zero line.

The Note 30 brings to the table a large 6.78-inch 120Hz display, a decent MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, along with a large 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. The phone also has a tuned stereo speaker setup. from JBL.
The Note 30 doesn’t go overboard in the looks department, instead opting for a more traditional and classy look. You can have the phone with a frosted glass back or opt for a faux leather finish for an extra touch of class. Infinix clearly has ambition and wants to punch above its class, which we appreciate.
Unpacking
The Infinix Note 30 comes in a standard two-piece box. A rather sturdy one, which is appreciated, complete with a plastic cradle to hold the actual phone inside for added security. We like the green color scheme that Infinix has gone with. It’s captivating. You also get lots of information about your phone’s hardware right on the box, which we appreciate.
Infinix has traditionally been extremely generous with its accessory package, and the Note 30 is no exception. In the box, you’ll find a nice clear TPU case, a pair of wired 3.5mm earphones with an inline mic for phone calls, a 45W Infinix fast charger, and a bundled USB Type-A to Type-C cable. There’s also a glass screen protector and a plastic one that comes pre-applied to your phone’s display from the factory, so you can choose. You really can’t ask for more in terms of an accessory package.
