Xiaomi executives have teased the Redmi K30S, and now the phone is finally official. It comes with a 64 MP main camera, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset and a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz for the 6.67 ”screen; If all these specs sound familiar to you, it’s because you’re looking for a renowned Mi 10T for markets where Redmi has strong brand recognition.
The main difference between the Redmi K30S and the Mi 10T is the memory combinations: here, we have 8 GB of RAM, along with 128 GB or 256 GB of storage. The phone lacks a memory card slot, so that’s all available internal memory.
The front panel may be an LCD screen, pushing the fingerprint scanner to the side, but there are some intriguing specs: It has a small hole for the 20 MP selfie camera, a 20: 9 ratio, and Full HD + resolution. There is also Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both the front and the back.
Other specs include a 64 MP triple camera setup, accompanied by a 13 MP ultra-wide camera and a 5 MP macro shooter. It also has a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging. And there are all the connectivity options you could ever need: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, 5G (both SA and NSA), and a USB-C port.
