Xiaomi has announced yet another affordable 5G smartphone, the Redmi K30i in China. The Redmi K30i is a slightly toned-down version of the regular K30 with 48MP quad-camera array, Snapdragon 765G chipset and a 120Hz high refresh-rate display.
While the phone has been announced in China, there’s no word from the company about its possible launch in India. Xiaomi recently launched the Mi 10 5G in India along with its first true wireless earphones and Mi Box. Here are the key specifications of the Redmi K30i.
The Redmi K30i features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) display with a 120Hz high refresh-rate and support for HDR10 playback. It has a dual punch-hole cutout that house the two selfie cameras and the screen is topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection.
It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 620 GPU that provide a 40% uptick in the graphics performance. This is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage with no option to expand the storage further. The phone runs on MIUI 11 out-of-the-box.
Xiaomi Redmi K30i comes with a quad-camera setup that consists of a primary 48MP camera with an f/1.79 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with 120-degree field-of-view, a 5MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The rear cameras are capable of recording in 4K at 30FPS and slow-motion videos at 960FPS. On the front, there is a primary 20MP camera supported by a 2MP depth sensor for selfies.
The power button doubles up as a fingerprint reader for quicker access. It is fitted with a 4,500mAh battery with 30W fast charging that Xiaomi claims can recharge the phone from 0-100% in just about an hour.
Xiaomi Redmi K30i is priced at CNY 1,899 for the single variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. This roughly translates to around Rs 21,200 by direct conversion. The phone is available in different colours like white, blue, red and purple to choose from.
