Redmi K30 with 5G support confirmed for 2020
Last month, we heard that a Redmi K30 device would come with 5G support and a hole-punch selfie camera in the display. About a month later, and Xiaomi has confirmed the timeframe for the K30 smartphone.

The news was shared by Lu Weibing, Vice President of Xiaomi Group, via Weibo. Following a post about the China Mobile Worldwide Partner Conference and Redmi’s brief history with the partner, Weibing ended with “2020, Redmi 5G is a pioneer. K30 see!” – roughly translated from Chinese.
Along with the post was a small chart showing the Redmi device amongst its competitors in China.
The Redmi K30 is expected to come with dual 5G standby support with a Qualcomm 7250 chipset that would allow the feature. It’s also expected to have dual-selfie cameras that punch out of the display, kind of like the S10+. Not much else is known about the K30, but we’ll surely find out as its launch in China approaches next year.
