Redmi finally unveiled the Redmi K30 Pro flagship smartphone today at an online-only launch event in China. As confirmed earlier, the phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G chipset paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB ROM on the Zoom Edition. Specs apart, this handset features a unique complex design, following the footsteps of its predecessor Redmi K20 Pro.
Unlike the K20 Pro with shimmering edges at the back, the newly announced K30 Pro comes in a subtle yet eye-catching paint job. To be clear, the handset will be available in four colours namely Blue, White, Silver, and Purple. Additionally, all of them will have an accented Red-Orange coloured power key similar to the forerunner from last year. Further, the pop-up camera will have five coloured LED lights compared to one on the K20 Pro.
Talking about optics, the K30 Pro features a quad-camera setup arranged in a starry design inside the now ubiquitous Oreo-like structure found on numerous Nokia-branded phones, OnePlus 7T, and even the recently leaked Oppo Reno Ace 2. As for the front of the handset, the whole of it is accommodated by a large 6.67-inches Samsung E3 AMOLED display with 92.7% screen to body ratio, up from 85.9% on the 2019’s K20 Pro. Also, the pop-up camera now retracts faster at a speed of 14.2mm per second, which is 27% faster than its predecessor’s 11.5mm per second speed.
As far as internals are concerned, the brand-new K30 Pro crams in 3885 components with up to 61 components per square centimetre. This is possible because the brand is using a stacked motherboard design commonly known as ‘sandwich motherboard design’. This enabled them to place small motherboard over the large primary motherboard and thus managed to fit in all the necessary components for 5G connectivity. Also, this design aided the company to also include a 4,700 mAh battery, which is larger than the K20 Pro’s 4,000 mAh cell.
Having said that, the Redmi K30 Pro is one of the few 5G smartphones with a pop-up camera to offer a full-screen experience without compromising on design and battery.
