Redmi, a subsidiary of Xiaomi, has just launched its latest smartphone in its flagship series, the Redmi K30. It arrived in two variants, namely a 5G and 4G versions, which were officially unveiled yesterday (10th December 2019).

On 11th December 2019, Redmi’s General Manager said in a statement that, this time, the company has prepared sufficient stock for the Redmi K30 smartphones. Lu Weibing went on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging site, to share this statement to disprove any rumors or false information spreading which would discourage any potential buyer.

This arrives after the Redmi K30’s stocks came in to question which the Senior Executive dispelled as being untrue. Additionally, the smartphone’s camera module, which is Sony’s IMX686, was also rumored to be facing technical difficulties in its mass production. However, since the General Manager of the company himself has assured everyone of no such issues, then we can expect this to not be an actual worry anymore for would-be buyers.

Lu Weibing also went on to reveal the date for Redmi K30 4G variants sale alongside a few of its key specs. He mentioned the smartphone’s 120Hz screen refresh rate, its 64MP Sony IMX686 camera (first 64MP camera from the company), the large 4,500mAh battery that supports 27W fast charging and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730G processor that powers the device.

Notably, during the launch of the Redmi K30 no specific date was given regarding both variants’ actual availability for sale. But now, it is confirmed that the 4G variant will be available from 10 pm on the 12th of December 2019 in China (12.12.19). On the other hand, the 5G variant will release next year sometime in January 2020.

Earlier today, Redmi went on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website, to reveal certain camera samples of its upcoming smartphone, Redmi K30 series. These samples were shot from a new 64MP primary sensor on the rear and were uploaded to showcase the photographic capabilities of the device.

Notably, Redmi released these camera samples in an interesting way. The Xiaomi subsidiary posted just 2 percent of the original camera sample. In other words, the company uploaded cropped camera samples of the Redmi K30 to showcase its ability to capture details. The sensor used on the device is a Sony 64MP IMX686 which was revealed back in November 2019.

The IMX686 sensor should not be confused with Sony’s IMX586 48MP sensor which was seen in smartphones like the Redmi Note 7 Pro or Note 8 series. The former is the successor to the latter and was revealed via a video. Since then, it was unclear which smartphone will debut with the sensor but now the Redmi K30 series is confirmed to be equipped with it. Additionally, it is also the first 64MP camera sensor from Sony.

Although Redmi didn’t reveal full-sized camera samples, it teased the Redmi K30 series photographic prowess with just 2 percent. In the samples, images of various items like a racing bike and a skateboard can be observed to be heavily cropped in but still retain finer details. The company even posted a zoomed-in image sample of Wang Yibo’s face to showcase details on eyes as well.

Lastly, the Weibo post also mentioned that for the original camera samples to be revealed, the post must be reposted over 8,500 times. Hence, we might see more from the Redmi K30 series if Weibo users are curious enough. The Redmi K30 will be unveiled on 10th December 2019 and will be the successor to the Redmi K20 series.

The Redmi K30 5G is shaping up to be an interesting device with so many firsts. It will be Redmi’s first phone with a 120Hz refresh rate; its first phone with a punch-hole display; and its first phone with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It may also be the first phone to launch with Qualcomm’s new mid-range 5G mobile processor. Now, there is a high chance that it may be the first phone to come with Sony’s new IMX686 camera sensor.

Sony gave us a glimpse of the IMX686’s prowess in a marketing video early last month. We were pretty impressed by the capabilities of the sensor, and now a leak says the 64MP sensor will be bundled with the Redmi K30.

The info was shared on Weibo by Digital Chat Station, a blogger and reliable leakster.

According to his tweet, the phone will have a 64MP Sony IMX686 camera with an f/1.89 aperture and a 1/1.73” sensor size. The camera will be paired with an 8MP sensor, a 5MP sensor, and a 2MP sensor to make up a quad-camera setup.

The Redmi K30 has its rear cameras arranged vertically. However, the setup sits inside a ring reminiscent of the Huawei Mate 30 series or OnePlus 7T.

When it launches on December 10, the phone will pack an LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a large punch hole for two selfie cameras. It will have NFC, support for SA and NSA 5G networks, support for 27W fast charging, and run Android 10 out of the box.
