Just yesterday we told you about the appearance on JD.com by Redmi K30i, a Chinese e-commerce site that leaked a good part of the technical data sheet of the device, denying, among other things, the fact that the new device adopted a MediaTek CPU . And today the Chinese brand has made the new Redmi K30i official which, unlike its older brother K30 5G, reduces the selling price by limiting some specifications that we are now going to tell you about.
Let's start from the CPU, which to great surprise turns out to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, positioning the Redmi K30i among the best options available in the mid-range, as there is full support for the new generation 5G networks. Like the K30 5G, the new Redmi device is also configured with a 6,67-inch IPS LCD screen, whose design is interrupted only by a double hole that houses the selfie camera, while the refresh rate reaches 120 Hz beyond than to integrate the HDR10 support.
The fingerprint reader is positioned on the right side, embedded in the power button, a position designed to make the unlocking of the terminal more natural. To support the processor, we remember an octa-core clocked at 2.4 GHz, we find the Adreno 620 GPU to which are added 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 GB of internal memory UFS 2.1.
The new Redmi K30i is now official: here are the features of the brand's cheapest 5G smartphone
To power the device there is a 4500 mAh battery with 30W fast charge support, which will guarantee the whole day of use. To reduce costs, Redmi has decided to file the photographic sector, relying on a 48 MP sensor with f / 1.79 aperture which is accompanied by additional 3 modules: a wide angle with 120 ° FOV and 8 MP resolution, a collection lens 2 MP depth of field data and finally a 5 MP macro lens with the possibility of 2 cm focus, while the selfie cameras are entrusted to a 20 MP primary lens and a 2 MP lens for the blurred effect .
Complete connectivity thanks to support for 5G SA / NSA networks but also to the presence of dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, dual-frequency GPS and NFC sensor for mobile payments as well as 3.5 mm audio jack, Type-C input and IR transmitter. In addition, Redmi K30i enjoys 5G MultiLink technology, which allows the combined use of 5G with WiFi.
