Redmi K30 Pro: features, technical specifications and everything you need to know about this high-end
Redmi K30 Pro
To begin with, The Redmi K30 Pro is very different from the already known Redmi K30, a smartphone that was launched in December last year as a mid-range mobile phone that is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 730G.
This advanced version, instead of presenting a screen with perforation in the form of a pill, discards such a solution to opt for a retractable front camera; there its first difference with the Redmi K30. In addition, the rear section also presents several modifications: the quad camera is not vertically aligned, but enclosed in a circular module that is located above the double LED flash, which does not resemble that of the Redmi K30 either.
In technical terms, the device's 60 Hz and 180 Hz refresh rate screen per touch response is AMOLED technology and consists of a 6.67-inch diagonal, which offers a 19.5: 9 format and a FullHD + resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels. The company also claims that it boasts a 5,000,000: 1 contrast and a maximum brightness generation of 1,200 nits, so a very sunny day would not be a problem to visualize the content of this clearly.
El Snapdragon 865 It is the mobile platform that gives the Redmi K30 Pro plenty of power. This 7 nm and 64-bit architecture chipset, apart from having the Adreno 650 GPU, consists of eight cores, which are grouped as follows: 1x Cortex-A77 at 2.84 GHz + 3x Cortex-A77 at 2.42 GHz + 4x 55 GHz Cortex-A1.8. For pairing there are two versions of 4 and 6 GB LPDDR8 RAM, and 128 and 256 GB storage space variants.
The RAM and ROM options are as follows: 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB and 8/256 GB for the standard variant of the Redmi K30 Pro, and 8/128 GB and 8/256 GB for the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition version, offered with LPDDR5 RAM, instead of LPDDR4, and UFS 3.1 ROM, instead of UFS 3.0. Both devices keep almost all other technical specifications the same and house a 4,700 mAh capacity battery with support for 33-watt fast-charging technology through the use of a USB-C port.
As for the photographic section, there is a quadruple camera system that is led by a 686 MP Sony IMX64 main sensor with f / 1.89 aperture and OIS for video recording. An ultra-wide angle lens is responsible for offering 13 MP shots with a 123 ° view and f / 2.2 aperture, while a shooter 5 MP macro with 3X zoom and a modest 2 MP camera (f / 2.4) focused on offering the effect of depth of field (bokeh) are also on the order.
The Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition has the same camera sensors, except for the 5 MP macro lens, which discards it and replaces it with an 8 MP one that, in addition to fulfilling the same role and providing the same magnification, is It boasts of OIS for video recording just like the main camera. In both models, the recording option is available in 8K @ 30fps and and FHD @ 960fps resolution.as well as an AI-optimized 20MP front pop-up camera capable of recording at 120fps (frames per second, which translates as frames per second).
In the connectivity options we find variety. To start, it is worth noting that, thanks to the SD865 chipset and its X55 modem, support for 5G SA / NSA networks is available on this device. We also see that it comes with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 with a range of up to 400 meters, Dual GPS, NFC chip for making payments contactless (contactless), an infrared sensor and a 3,5 mm headphone jack. In addition to this, with respect to biometric unlocking systems, the screen has an integrated fingerprint reader underneath it, while a precise facial recognition system is supported and provided by the sensor. popup.
Android 10 is the operating system offered on this device under Xiaomi's MIUI 11 customization layer, as expected.
