Both models have been the subject of several leaks an in recent times and the tech giant has been releasing daily teasers that have basically given us an idea of what to expect from the new smartphones.

Redmi K30 Pro 5G and K30 Pro Zoom Specifications

The Xiaomi Redmi K30 Pro 5G features an upgraded design over the Redmi K20 Pro. However, Xiaomi skipped the notch design, opting for a similar pop-up camera design as the Redmi K20 Pro instead.

We recall Redmi’s GM Lu Weibing had earlier revealed why the pop-up camera design won’t be on too many 5G phones due to space constraint. However, the motherboard which has been shown in an earlier teaser poster was compactly arranged so as to accommodate all components.

The pop-up camera design ensures the bezels were reduced to the minimum level. This gives the device an immersive display with a screen-to-body ratio of 92.7%. The rear panel has a curved design and houses a quad-camera setup. The rear camera sensors are arranged inside a circular module similar to the OnePlus 7T and Vivo NEX 3S. The volume rockers and power button are located at the right side of the display. The power button has a cool red hue on all colorr variants.
