On Monday, Redmi took off covers from the 4G and 5G editions of the Redmi K30 smartphone. The handset arrived as the successor for the Redmi K20 phone that was unveiled earlier this year. Unlike the Redmi K20 that came with a notch-less AMOLED display, the Redmi K30 features a notch-less IPS LCD panel with a cutout for two front-facing cameras. Fresh information reveals that the Redmi K30 does not feature a pill-shaped cutout for the dual selfie snappers as it was thought before. It actually features two separate punch-holes for the two cameras and there is a black bar masked through the software between the two lenses.
On Weibo, multiple users have revealed that while choosing from available options to hide the display cutout through settings, an empty space can be seen between the two lenses for a brief moment. Since the Redmi K30 does not feature an AMOLED screen but an LCD panel, the gap between the two cutouts are not deep black as it would have been on AMOLED screens. Some users have somehow managed to forcibly removed the black gap and the use the phone with two separate punch-holes.
