Xiaomi subsidiary Redmi releases K30 Pro smartphone in China
Redmi has released the Redmi K30 Pro in China. The device has a 6.67″ 1080p AMOLED screen at 60Hz with support for HDR10 +. There is also support for 5G thanks to the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865-soc and the front camera is a pop-up module.
The K30 Pro has less in common with the regular K30 than was the case with, for example, the K20 and K20 Pro. The K30 Pro has the cameras arranged in a square shape while the K30 has them lined up. The screen also has no opening for the front camera, because that is not necessary.
In addition, the K30 has an LCD, while the Pro version has an OLED screen. That OLED screen is 15.4×7 cm in size with a surface area of 107 square centimeters. It is a panel with a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels, an aspect ratio of 20:9 and a diagonal of 6.67″.
The K30 Pro will get several variants: with 6GB of ram and 128GB of storage, with 8GB of ram and 128 or 256GB of storage and 12GB of ram with 512GB of storage. The ‘6/128 variant’ has lpddr4x memory and ufs 3.0 storage, but all other models have the faster lpddr5 and ufs 3.1. In addition, there will be a Zoom variant that exchanges the telephoto lens of the smartphone for one with 3x ‘zoom’. You can record video in 8k.
Furthermore, the device has a 64-megapixel camera, a wide-angle camera with 13, a macro camera with 2 and a telephoto camera with 5 megapixels, which is not in the Zoom. The phone has a headphone jack and can charge 33 watts quickly via the USB-C port. The whole has an ip53 certification. Inside are a 4700mAh battery, an improved linear vibration motor and support for 802.11ax Wi-Fi.
If the device comes out in Europe, it might be called the Mi 10T Pro; the K20 Pro was renamed the Mi 9T Pro last year. However, that is not yet certain. It is known that the device will also come to India sometime in the future.
As usual, the phone will run on Xiaomi’s Miui-Android shell, based on Android 10. Prices range from 3000 yuan, converted 393 euros, for the most ‘basic’ K30 Pro to 524 euros for the Zoom edition with 8GB memory. and 256GB storage.
