Redmi K30 Ultra launched, Flagship in Budget

Today, Xiaomi has announced two Ultra smartphones, one each under the name of its sub-brands - Mi and Redmi. Mi has launched its flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, while Redmi has announced a more affordable Redmi K30 Ultra.

Redmi K30 Ultra Specifications

To begin with, Redmi K30 Ultra is not an entirely new smartphone. Instead, it's more of a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro with a different Chipset, Dimensity 1000+ SoC, and an improved 120Hz refresh rate display (K30 Pro comes with a 60Hz display panel). Other than this, the new Redmi K30 Ultra also offers a faster 33W fast charging out of the box, dual stereo speakers, and a better linear vibration motor, and the good news, it all comes at a lower price tag.

Other than the above-given distinction, Redmi K30 Ultra is essentially the same Redmi K30 Pro we have seen before. Upfront, there is the same 6.67 inches Full HD+ notch-less AMOLED Display fitted with a 20MP pop-up camera. Around the back, there is a quad-camera setup composed of a 64MP primary shooter followed by a 13MP ultrawide snapper, a 5MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor.

For authentication, Redmi K30 Ultra has an in-display fingerprint scanner, and the battery is a 4500mAh unit that draws its power through a 33W fast charger.

Redmi K30 Ultra Highlights

The main highlight of Redmi K30 Ultra is its chipset. Redmi K30 Ultra comes powered via Mediatek Dimensity 1000+ chipset paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, unlike Snapdragon 865 present in Redmi K30 Pro, which makes it a more affordable smartphone. The dimensity 1000+ though not as good as Snapdragon 865, is still a capable chipset with a net score of 530000 in AnTuTu (Snapdragon 865 scored just a tad above 600000. Bump in the refresh rate is another prime highlight.
