Xiaomi today announced a new addition to its Redmi K-Series smartphone lineup, alongside the flagship Mi 10 Ultra. The new Redmi K30 Ultra is largely identical to the Redmi K30 Pro launched earlier this year, but comes with two major changes.
The main difference between the Redmi K30 Ultra and the K30 Pro is the processor under the hood. While the K30 Pro runs on a Snapdragon 865 chipset, the new K30 Ultra is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+. The other important difference between the two phones is the refresh rate of the display. Unlike the K30 Pro, which has a 60Hz display, the K30 Ultra offers a much more impressive 120Hz refresh rate.
However, the rest of the spec sheet is pretty similar. You get a 6.67-inch FHD + AMOLED display with a 20MP pop-up selfie camera. On the back of the phone is a mounted quad camera with a 64MP primary sensor, a 13MP ultra-wide angle lens, 5MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The lights hold is a 4500mAh battery, with support for 33W fast charging. The phone also has dual-mode 5G support, an IR blaster, dual stereo speakers, NFC, and a linear vibration motor. On the software side of things, the K30 Ultra MIUI 12 is based on Android 10.
