Redmi K30i launched as cheapest K series 5G smartphone with just one new feature
For a long time, the smartphone rumour market was abuzz with the Redmi K30i as Xiaomi's cheapest 5G smartphone. Today, that phone is now official in China, albeit without a launch event. The Redmi K30i has been announced as an affordable alternative to the Redmi K30 5G and it comes with one notable new feature, which helps Xiaomi go for a lower starting price of 1899 Yuan (approx Rs 20,200). The rest of the phone is same as the Redmi K30 5G.
The main difference between the Redmi K30i and the Redmi K30 5G is the main camera, Instead of the 64-megapixel main camera from the Redmi K30 5G, the Redmi K30i has a 48-megapixel camera acting as the main camera. Xiaomi says that this is a Sony sensor and should deliver good results. The rest of the camera setup is identical to what we saw on the Redmi K30 5G, i.e. an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, another 5-megapixel macro camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera.
The rest of the phone is identical to the K30 5G. Hence, you get the same 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with a Full HD+ resolution that has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The display has a dual punch-hole cutout, holding the same duo of a 20-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera.
