The most relevant sub-brand of Xiaomi has presented today in China its new flagship mid-range-Premium and successor to the successful Redmi K20, we are talking of course, the Redmi K30 , who comes to us with state-of-the-art technology and something even more importantly, a version compatible with 5G network technology. Much had been said about these terminals prior to their launch, but they are finally here and it is time to meet them.

This is the Redmi K30 5G: Redmi K30, Xiaomi Smartphones with 5G, 120Hz screen and 6 cameras

The Redmi K30 5G takes the design of Xiaomi / Redmi mobiles to the next level, leaving aside the pop-up camera mechanism for a double perforation to house two selfie sensors. In this vein, the terminal exhibits a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with a FullHD + resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hhz , which in theory provides a more fluid navigation through the interface and higher frame rates per second. at 60FPS in supported games.

As if the above mentioned were not enough, it consists of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection against scratches on both sides, in addition, it offers us compatibility with the HDR standard, which means better contrasts and color representation.

The terminal exhibits a body with 3D curved glass on the sides, as well as a capsule module for the rear cameras, which are vertically aligned in the center. If you wonder where the fingerprint reader has gone, it follows the new trend of being located on the right side.

Specifications and Features

The Redmi K30 5G evolves from a Snapdragon 730G to a 7 nanometer Snapdragon 765G, which not only promises to be more powerful than its predecessor, but also enabled for the 5G network in the NSA and SA bands . In terms of memory, it integrates between 6 to 8GB of RAM, which are combined with internal storage that ranges from 64GB to 256GB, depending on the version chosen, of course.

Likewise, the terminal is powered by a 4,500mAh battery paired with 30-watt fast charging , which promises an efficiency of 97% thanks to its independent charging coil. Additionally, the mobile has a liquid cooling solution that can effectively reduce the internal temperature by about 7 ° Celsius.

It is important to mention that this is the first terminal of the company to work with Android 10 together with the MIUI 11 user interface . In an extra way, Mi Turbo 2.0 has been included to improve the performance of the terminal in day-to-day tasks, as well as Game Turbo 2.0 to do the same in demanding video games.

Cameras

On a photographic level, the Redmi K30 does not disappoint, with a quad camera at the rear and a double at the front. Going into detail, it features a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 primary lens with an aperture of f / 1.89 and a 1 / 1.73-inch sensor. It supports 4-pixel-in-1 combination to enhance photographic shots. The other sensor in the setup includes an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field of view, a 5-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

On the other hand, the front camera consists of a 20MP primary sensor accompanied by another 2MP to perceive the depth of field.

Redmi K30 4G

As planned, Redmi has presented a 4G version of the expected device, whose differences lie in the processor, cameras and fast charging power. In this sense, the Redmi K30 uses the same SoC as its predecessor: the Snapdragon 730G, therefore, it does not have 5G. For its part, the macro camera lowers its resolution from 5MP to 2MP, but maintains the same aperture (f / 2.4).

The last differences are the fast charge and the reduced price. The Redmi K30 4G has a load of 27 watts instead of 30, a small difference we must add.
