The Redmi Note 9 series is available globally but these handsets are yet to debut in China. According to recent leaks and rumors, it may not launch in this region at all. Instead, the brand might be unveiling handsets with a similar design but different specs along with support for 5G. These alleged smartphones with model numbers M2004J7AC and M2004J7BC are being rigorously tested on Geekbench.

The device with model number M2004J7AC was already spotted on TENAA revealing its entire specifications. Now, it has been benchmarked along with M2004J7BC.

Interestingly both of them have similar specs according to the Geekbench listing. The only difference between them is the name of the motherboard, which happens to be ‘atom’ and ‘bomb’ respectively.

Apart from that, both are powered by the same MediaTek MT6875 octa-core processor clocked at 2GHz. This SoC could be the recently announced Dimensity 800 or the yet to announce Dimensity 820.

Further, the variant that was tested for these two handsets has 8GB RAM and runs Android 10. However, there will be variants with 6GB RAM as per TENAA listing.

As far as scores are concerned, both are rated similarly by Geekbench because they literally have the same processor.

According to the TENAA listing, these phones will have 6.57-inch OLED display, FHD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) resolution, dew-drop notch, in-screen fingerprint sensor, triple camera setup, up to 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM, microSD card slot, 4,420 mAh battery, and 22.5W fast charging.

We believe this could be the ‘super performance’  smartphones teased by Redmi GM Lu Weibing yesterday. He even shared a camera sample today, which could have come from any of the above two models mentioned above.

The Chinese microblogging site displays the name of the device from which the post is made. Mr Weibing has been posting from Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition for a while now. But the camera sample post has been made from a device called ‘Redmi Android’, which clearly indicates he is currently using an unreleased smartphone on which the picture was captured.

The image shows Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, which is the company’s new headquarters in Beijing. The Redmi brand GM shared two images. The first one seems to be from the primary sensor, whereas the second could be from the telephoto camera or a cropped image from the main camera. The images do have details but the highlights are blown up resulting in a white-colored sky.

According to leaks, this alleged Redmi Note smartphone with model numbers M2004J7AC and M2004J7BC could be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC with 5G support. It will sport a 6.57-inch FHD+ (2400 x 1800 pixels) OLED panel with a dew-drop notch and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Further, the phone will feature a triple camera setup with a similar layout as the Redmi Note 9 series. It will be available in up to 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM configuration with support for microSD card. Lastly, It will run Android 10 and will be backed by a 4,400 mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging

The post Lu Weibing shares camera sample of an upcoming Redmi 5G smartphone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi K30 5G is confirmed to launch on December 10 in China. We had an idea that the K30 would feature dual-punch hole front cameras and vertically placed rear cameras. Today, we have spotted some unofficial renders of the upcoming device on Weibo. The renders reveal a dual punch-hole camera on top and a centrally placed vertical cameras at the back.

We can’t figure out much about the rear cameras at the back, however, it looks like a quad-camera in a pill-shaped arrangement at the center. Unfortunately, that’s all we can speculate from this tiny image.

Note that this is an unofficial render of the Redmi K30 and we can’t guarantee the authenticity of the images.

The Redmi K30 will be the first 5G smartphone from the Redmi brand featuring both standalone and non-standalone network support. It will also be the first phone to feature the ‘world’s first high-resolution’ sensor. It’s likely that the new model comes with a Snapdragon 7XX series processor with integrated 5G. Given its high-end placement, we can expect a pretty powerful camera setup at the back with a large battery and fast charging.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of information about the device. But we can expect a lot more details via official and unofficial sources in the coming days.
