After many rumors about the Redmi K30i, we have something concrete, that is an appearance on the well-known online store JD.com, one of the most reliable in China. We emphasize it because the good reputation of e-commerce makes what we are about to tell you appear, quite true. On balance Redmi K30i will be a weakened version on some parameters compared to the current K30 5G, distinguishing itself for being the cheapest 5G smartphone on the market.
In particular, the new K30i, according to what leaked from the store, will arrive on the square with a price of only 1799 yuan, or about 231 euros at the current exchange rate, already proving to be a success in terms of sales. JD.com also allows us to obtain the general information of the technical sheet, confirming and denying at the same time what has been leaked so far. In fact, the new 5G terminal of the Redmi brand will not adopt the MediaTek Dmensity 800 processor but will maintain the performance SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G.

The photographic sector will differ, adopting a 48 MP main sensor, instead of the 686 MP Sony IMX64 equipped on the K30. Also unchanged is the 6,67-inch IPS matrix display with Full HD resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, which will host a dual selfie camera via a double hole punch hole. On the other hand, the battery capacity seems to change, falling from a value of 4500 mAh to 4080 mAh, while maintaining support for fast charging at 30W.
In short, the new Redmi K30i, if it were actually to arrive on the market with this configuration, could really split the economic market of 5G devices, but what we don't understand is why bring out a device that on balance loses only some minor specifications? Is it possible that the JD.com store is contributing to a strange marketing strategy by the Redmi brand? Only time will return the due answers. Note that the store also indicates 09 June 2020 as the starting date for shipping, so let's be ready, with some surprises in these days.
