The Redmi K30 will be Redmi’s first 5G smartphone but it appears there will be a 4G variant too. This should have a cheaper price tag and will most likely be the variant that will launch in countries where 5G is yet to go mainstream. Specs of this 4G variant have now leaked on Weibo.
These specs are a bit similar to those that leaked yesterday but there are some key differences too. According to the source who goes by Meng Chen Guangyu, the Redmi K30 4G will have a 6.66-inch FHD+ display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. It is an LCD screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz. Redmi will use COF packaging technology for production and the phone will have Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
The leakster adds that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 730G processor which is a more powerful version of the Snapdragon 730 inside the Redmi K20. The base model will have 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage but we expect there will be an 8GB RAM model and storage variants will reach 256GB.
Unlike yesterday’s leak which said the primary rear camera is a 60MP Sony IMX686, this one says the primary rear camera is a 64MP sensor and it is paired with an 8MP telephoto camera, a 13MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP sensor which should be for macro photography. The selfie cameras are also different. Rather than a 32MP + ToF sensor, this says it is a 20MP + 2MP depth sensor.
The Redmi K30 4G will have multi-function NFC, an IR blaster, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Its battery is also not 5000mAh but 4500mAh which is still bigger than that of its predecessor. There is also support for 27W fast charge just like w have on the Mi 9. The phone will run MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box and have a starting price of ¥1999 (~$285).
Just like yesterday’s leak, we advise you to take the above specs with a grain of salt.
