Redmi K30 is a line of Android-based smartphones manufactured by Xiaomi and marketed under its Redmi sub-brand.[2][3] There are two main models, the K30 and the K30 5G. A rebranded version of the K30 was later announced for India as the POCO X2,[4] followed by the K30 5G Racing, which has a faster version of the K30 5G's chipset,[5] and the K30i 5G which has a lower resolution camera sensor.

Design[]

The K30 line uses an anodized aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass on the front and back. Both the volume and power buttons are located on the right edge; the latter is recessed slightly. The front features dual front-facing cameras housed in a pill-shaped cutout, resembling the Galaxy S10+. The camera protrusion on the back panel is a single unit with a dual-LED flash below, and an oval module. Colors available at launch were (Phoenix) Red, (Matrix) Purple and (Atlantis) Blue, with an additional White finish available on the 5G version and a Mint finish on the 5G Racing version.

Specifications[]

Hardware & Software[]

The non-Pro models are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series SoCs, with the K30 and POCO X2 retaining the K20's Snapdragon 730G and Adreno 618 while the K30 5G and K30i 5G receive the newer Snapdragon 765G and Adreno 620. The K30 5G Racing has the Snapdragon 768G paired with an overclocked version of the Adreno 620. Storage and RAM options have been carried over from the K20 (64, 128 or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage and 6 or 8 GB of RAM), and microSD card expansion is now supported up to 256 GB on the K30 and POCO X2. The K30i 5G and K30 5G Racing have a single 6 GB RAM/128 GB UFS configuration. The display is larger than the K20's at 6.67" (169.4mm) and has a wider 20:9 aspect ratio with a 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support. However, it is an LCD as opposed to the AMOLED of the K20, and as a result the fingerprint sensor is integrated with the power button. The battery is also larger at 4500mAh; fast charging is supported over USB-C up to 27W on the K30 and POCO X2, or up to 30W on the K30 5G & K30i 5G. All devices are pre-installed with MIUI 11, which is based on Android 10. Later, it got the update of MIUI 12 with the same Android version.

Camera[]

The wide sensor on all K30 variants except for the K30i 5G has been upgraded from a 48 MP sensor to a 64 MP sensor and now features an extra depth sensor. There is an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 or 5 MP macro lens. The front-facing camera uses a 20 MP sensor along with a secondary depth module of 2 MP.
