Redmi K30 - punch hole display and 5G confirmed

Redmi K20 series, which consists of Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro, boasts of a pop-up selfie camera setup to achieve a high screen-to-body ratio. Redmi will be letting this go in next iteration. Redmi K30 will come with a Samsung Galaxy S10+ like dual punch hole selfie camera setup. In fact, setup seems to be lifted from Samsung Galaxy S10+ as is.

Coming to 5G support, this would be a first for a Redmi phone. It would be interesting to see if Xiaomi brings this 5G-rey Redmi K30 to India but because archrival Realme has alrey confirmed that it will launch a 5G phone in India soon eugh, it won’t be surprising if Xiaomi does that too. More details are awaited. 

Previously, Redmi GM Lu Weibing h said that Redmi K30 launch would be delayed to next year – possibly to counter some technical hurdles and launch a product when it’s rey. Probably, Xiaomi and Redmi have crossed hurdles which is why Redmi K30 is w slated to launch on schedule – December 2019. A ‘pro’ variant is also expected but that may launch next year as we’re yet to get any sort of confirmation on that.
