Currently, I'm using this as my main phone, and have been using it since February, and my overall rating is definitely a 9/10. There are a few minor issues, but there are sooo many positives.

Pros:

1. 1080p 120HZ Notchless Display.

2. Dimensity 1000+ is fairly smooth. Actually, a youtuber just did a speed test between the K30 Ultra, the POCO F3, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and the POCO F3 got first place, the Redmi K30 Ultra got second place, and this is the most surprising, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the $1300 phone got LAST place. Overall, I'm impressed with that!

3. 4500 MAH battery with great screen-on-time.

4. Premium Build with a glass back, glass front, and aluminum frame.

5. MIUI 12 is super customizable and pretty cool!

6. Getting software updates that are helpful like stability improvements, reduced system lag, and improved camera performance.

7. IR Blaster :D

8. Literally starts at roughly $289 USD!


Cons:

1. The Main Camera is OK, but nothing special. It can produce good enough images with enough light, but it's probably a bad idea to use it at night. Also, dynamic range is bad. The Ultra-Wide Camera is once again OK, and sometimes can produce some nice images, but usually even in the day there's a noticeable amount of noise and not too much detail. The Macro camera is sometimes cool, but not needed 99.9% of the time. I don't think the depth camera really helps with anything at all tbh.

2. MIUI 12 closes background apps a lot. Also, even though the stability of MIUI 12 has been getting much better, there's still some lag here and there, but you really won't notice it. Though if you bought the K30 Ultra a few months ago like I did, there was a lot more lag.

3. The base model only comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

4. This is probably my biggest issue: Notifications don't always come in.


But besides that, this is an awesome phone! Now, I wouldn't 100% recommend buying it, just because it seems like the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition seems very promising. It's basically the successor to this phone. However, that phone does have a punch hole camera. So, it's really your call. Both phones are great value!

    ImbaLOL, 30 Mar 2021Currently using this phone. If I were to rate my overall ex... moreI use the phone and my experience has been markedly different from what you are saying..
    In 6 months of using the device it has hanged like FIVE times,other than that the phone is buttery smooth..
    I have absolutely no issues with Google Apps and they work 100% as they are supposed to..
    For my needs,the camera is great..
    The main CONS I have with the phone is twofold..
    The battery is not the best I have seen,just above average AND secondly the phone heats up occasionally..
    All in all I'll give it a solid 8/10..

      Currently using this phone. If I were to rate my overall experience, I'd say 6/10.
      Pros:
      120hz Amoled Screen
      512GB ROM
      Price point

      Cons:
      China Rom
      Buggy but tolerable
      Certain apps don't work

      Camera is fine, not that great compared to flagship phones. But it does get the job done, I'm very much contented with it since I do little photography. Speakers are loud. Screen is not that bright as I would have hope.

      I watch tons of reviews before I bought the phone, I even watch reviews of China ROM phones before even considering to buy this phone. Got hyped, don't believe most users that there are little difference between china and global rom.

      Tons of apps are not supported at the google playstore. Google apps tend to crash. It is indeed easy to install google, but the support of the device for it is problematic, since at the first place china rom isn't google ready.

      Phone hangs, I don't know if it's the miui version or just the OS. Dimensity 1000+ is indeeed a very fast chip, but there is little support, especially for flashing it as a global rom unlike snapdragon.

      This phone triggers my patience, as there are too many permission to manually set up for apps installed. It's not a phone for those plug and play people. Too much privacy settings and permission block.

            asdfee, 08 Feb 2021Nah, your K30 pro sucks bruh. that "60hz" screen ... moreYou are overexaggerating. The K30 Ultra is better than the K30 Pro in only one aspect, refresh rate. And don't you dare degrade someone over a damn smartphone's refresh rate, you don't even know whether that person experienced high refresh rates or not. So shut up.

              Alyas Choy, 07 Feb 2021Redmi k30 pro is better than ultra coz it has better processorThe Dimensity 1000+ is more than capable for whatever you will throw at it..
              Meanwhile you have the high refresh rate and the stereo speakers in the K30 Ultra..
              I would say both phones are evenly matched..

                Alyas Choy, 07 Feb 2021Redmi k30 pro is better than ultra coz it has better processorNah, your K30 pro sucks bruh. that "60hz" screen of yours is very disgusting. My eye hurts whenever I go back to that. But yeah, I know you won't understand cause your k30 pro is stuck in that disgusting 60 hz refresh rate. The difference in speed between the dimensity 1000+ and the sd865 cannot really be seen in real world use bruh, you ca only see it on benchmarks. That's why screen quality still wins, k30 ultra rocks! k30 pro is trash.

                                        So far I have been enjoying it and it handles everything you throw at it without breaking a sweat and the Dimensity 1000+ is a full on monster.
