About 4 months after presenting the Redmi K30 and K30 5G. Xiaomi has finally made the most leading model of the Redmi brand for 2020 official. The new Redmi K30 Pro is official and is exactly what we all expected from it. This is the renewal of the Redmi K20 Pro, launched in Europe as Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro. Today, here we have the unboxing and the first impressions of the smartphone. So let’s check it out!
Design
Except for a few small changes, the design of the Redmi K30 Pro, as well as its twin brother the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition, is not very different from the Redmi K30. We find again a device built-in aluminum and glass. The front of which is almost entirely occupied by a large 6.67-inch screen.
At the back, a circular camera module leads the central part of the glass panel. The Smartphone is available in several different colors, including silver, blue, white and purple.
It does, however, change the screen. Redmi has decided to abandon the IPS technology of the Redmi K30 and go for an AMOLED panel at Full HD + resolution. So, unfortunately it loses the high refresh rate of its younger brothers along the way. Although this will not be a problem for the vast majority that still has a terminal with a screen at 60Hz. I am afraid that it could be a point against the rest.
Another difference compared to the Redmi K30 and K30 5G is the inclusion of a front camera module located on the top of the phone that opts for the “pop-up” format to leave a completely clean front and free of sensors. It is the same format that Xiaomi already used with the previous Redmi K20 and that it repeats now in its new flagship for 2020.
Technical Sheet
While other companies choose to equip their reference phones with processors of the Snapdragon 700 line in order to save costs, Xiaomi has succumbed to temptation and has endowed the Redmi K30 Pro with the Snapdragon 865, the most powerful chip of the South Korean company, causing the considerable price increase within the affordable high-end segment.
Next to the chip, we can find 6 or 8GB of RAM memory, in both cases based on LPDDR5 technology, and 128GB or 256GB of internal UFS 3.1 storage.
Its battery is located at 4700mAh capacity, and it adopts a 33W fast-charging system. Although it still do not have wireless charging. Of course, MIUI 11 is the version of the system that brings these two terminals to life.
Cameras
Beyond its technical specifications, the photographic section is the aspect in which Redmi has put the most emphasis during the presentation of its new star phone. Depending on the chosen model, we will have a somewhat different camera system.
In both cases, the main sensor is a 64MP resolution Sony IMX686 with four-axis OIS and Super Pixel technology. Next to it are a 13MP “ultra-wide” camera and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. In the normal model, the “telephoto” sensor has 5MP of the resolution. While the Zoom model uses an 8MP sensor, with 3x optical zoom and digital zoom of up to 30. In addition, both the main sensor and the “telephoto ”Feature optical stabilization on the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom. One feature that the two models share is the ability to capture video at 8K resolution.
The pop-up camera is the same in both cases. It has a resolution of 20MP and is capable of capturing video at a rate of 120 FPS. In addition, the module has a fall detection system and an integrated notification LED with support for 5 different colors.
Price and Availability
The K30 Pro will first be launched in China and then in India. It is very likely that it is also marketed in Europe, it could be renamed Xiaomi Mi 10T or Mi 10 T Pro.
In China, the cost of Redmi K30 Pro in the version with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory starts at $480. No other model on the Snapdragon 865 can boast such a low price. The cost of the Redmi K30 Pro version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of flash memory is $525.
