Redmi K30 with 5G support set to be launched on December 10

Xiaomi has confirmed the launch of its Redmi K30 series, a successor to this year's Redmi K20 series that was positioned as a flagship killer by the Chinese smartphone manufacturer. Xiaomi confirmed late Monday that it is set to launch the Redmi K30 series on December 10 in China. The smartphone maker also confirmed that the new series will come with 5G support, making it Xiaomi’s first phone with latest generation connectivity under Redmi portfolio. The announcement on weibo had a cutout of the new smartphone confirming bezel-less screen but with punch-hole camera housing two sensors.

Xiaomi Redmi K30 details have been leaked multiple times so far, hinting at 120Hz refresh rate and Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset. The smartphone is also tipped to come with Sony’s latest 60-megapixel IMX686 camera sensor and a quad rear camera setup. In India, the Redmi K30 will compete against Realme X2 Pro which is available with 6.5-inch full HD display with 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC, and a four-camera setup on the back featuring 64-megapixel sensor.

The smartphone should launch in India in the coming months. However, it is unlikely to get a 5G support in the country. To recall, the Redmi K20 series was launched in India in July. The Redmi K20 is now retailing at Rs 21,999 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 processor with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB built-in storage. On the back it has three rear cameras featuring 48-megapixel, 8-megapixel, and 13-megapixel sensors. It runs on a 4,000mAh battery. Xiaomi had also launched a Pro model of the smartphone.
