Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi is reported to be working on a 5G smartphone powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1000+. The specs of this handset have been tipped multiple times over the past few days. Today, a new device named “Redmi K30 Ultra” was spotted in the latest MIUI 12 beta build. This phone could be the aforementioned Dimensity 1000 Plus handset.
Almost all the 5G phones launched by Xiaomi and Redmi so far are powered by Qualcomm chipsets except for Redmi 10X/10X Pro. The next MediaTek 5G phone from Redmi is said to be powered by Dimensity 1000+ (Plus).
The MediaTek Dimensity1000 series SoC consists of three variants – Dimensity 1000, Dimensity 1000L, and Dimensity 1000+. Interestingly, there’s not a single phone in the market with the first version, whereas there’s one handset each with the other two variants (Oppo Reno 3 5G & iQOO Z1 5G).
The newly spotted “Redmi K30 Ultra” codenamed “cezanne” by XDA member kacskrz could be the third overall as well as first Redmi smartphone with Dimensity 1000 series chipset if this device is indeed the rumored model by Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station.
The MIUI 12 code also reveals this handset to feature a quad-camera setup with a 64MP primary sensor and a pop-up selfie camera. These features go in line with the specs tipped by the leakster.
According to him, the upcoming Redmi Dimensity 1000+ smartphone will sport 120Hz AMOLED display, in-screen fingerprint sensor, 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor, pop-up camera, 4,500 mAh battery, and 33W fast charging (spotted on 3C).
Previously, he said it to feature 144Hz/120HZ LCD panel but that was ruled out recently. Lastly, as per him, it will be launching in July.
