MKBHD, the popular smartphone reviewer once said in a video that cheap phones are getting good and good phones are getting cheap. In this disruptive movement to bring down the prices, we can’t overlook the role of Xiaomi. They almost turned the market upside down single-handedly.
Recently, Realme, the Oppo-spinoff could repeat history by jumping on the bandwagon. Nonetheless, there’s always a loyal fan following and user-base available to Xiaomi. To recall, the Redmi K20 series, coming from their sub-brand was a huge hit (especially the Pro version). And, they announced K30 earlier this month.
Redmi K30 5G Edition to Go on Sale on January 7
In case you don’t know, the regular variant is already available on the Chinese market and for some strange reasons, the company was delaying the release of 5G edition. And, the waiting period is coming to an end as they announced to bring it to the market on January 7.
In terms of specifications, the phone flaunts a 6.67 inch IPS LCD capacitive full HD+ display with an 84.8% screen-to-body ratio. Moreover, it also has a 120Hz refresh rate along with HDR 10 and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
As you might have guessed (due to the lack of ‘Pro’ word in the name), it doesn’t come with a flagship process. But instead, you can find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 inside coupled with Adreno 620, made out of a 7-nm manufacturing process.
