Redmi K30 with 5G and without - a smartphone with a 120 Hz screen from $ 230

The day of the announcement of the Redmi K30 - a smartphone witha large number of cameras and support for 5G. As expected, the device appeared in two versions - with and without 5G. Although it would be more accurate to call it two different models, the choice will have to be made not only on the basis of the mentioned feature.

Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G

Smartphone Redmi K30 5G introduced a new chipset- Snapdragon 765G - “pre-flagship” version with built-in 5G-modem. Ideologically, this is the heir to the Snapdragon 730G, the same sharpened on gaming devices, but slightly better in all respects. The frequency is higher, the video chip is more powerful, the manufacturing process is 7, not 8 nm. It should be a serious piece of iron, especially in combination with 8 GB of RAM (there is a variation with 6 GB of RAM).

The screen is huge - 6.67 ″, IPS matrix with a resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels. Feature - refresh rate of 120 Hz. You can’t integrate a fingerprint scanner into this one, so it is placed on its side - combined with the power key. In the right corner of the screen there are selfie cameras. There are two of them, so the cutout for them had to be cut long. It looks specific, but the eye has already begun to get used to this.

Interestingly, do you think of making a teardrop for a dual selfie camera? Vertical stick in the center.

The front camera includes20-megapixel drive module and 2-megapixel depth sensor. The main camera includes as many as 4 modules: the leading Sony IMX686 64 MP with an aperture of f / 1.89, an 8-megapixel wide-angle (120 °), 5 MP macro and 2 MP depth sensor. The camera provides shooting video in 4K resolution at a speed of 30fps.

The 4,500mAh battery supports 30W charging. The charging port, of course, is Type-c, which does not negate the presence of a 3.5 mm audio jack.

NFC support is provided.

The smartphone runs on the MIUI 11 interface based on Android 10.

Redmi K30 4G

Redmi K30 4G, of course, simpler. And cheaper, and noticeably. Its price in the Chinese market starts from ¥ 1599 (about 14500 rubles). How did you save on the Redmi K30 4G in addition to supporting 5G?

First of all, this is the chipset - here the Snapdragon 765Gwhy, cost the previous generation, the smartphone is built on Snapdragon 730G. Variations in the memory size have not changed, here are the same four options, starting with 6 GB + 64 GB and ending with 8 GB + 256 GB ..

Screen, and this is a separate reason to thankthe company for generosity, did not change at all, retaining both the diagonal with resolution and the refresh rate of 120 Hz, HDR10 support and Gorilla Glass 5 protective glass. Perhaps this is the most budget version of the device with a 120-gigahertz display.

There is a change in the set of cameras, but it is subtle and applies only to the macro module. He Redmi K30 4G is not 5-megapixel, but only 2 MP. Hardly a critical loss.

The battery retained a capacity of 4500 mAh, however, the charging speed was slightly reduced - from 30 W to 27 W.

Support NFC model did not begin to deprive.

Redmi K30 5G and Redmi K30 4G have a different setsupported networks, and it's not just 5G. In particular, the Redmi K30 5G has an LTE B7, which its brother is deprived of. However, for the global market, anyway, other modifications will be offered, so this is not so important.

In appearance, Redmi K30 4G does not differ in any way (the absence of the 5G inscription on the case does not count), the only thing is that it does not have a white color option.
