Xiaomi currently offers 5G connectivity with the Mi Mix 3 5G, but the functionality has not been extended to any of the Redmi-branded devices. Not surprisingly, as the technology remains quite limited, with large-scale 5G commercial networks not expected to be operational soon in most parts of the world. Under these conditions, the K30 will likely be offered in two variants: one with 5G support and the other without support.
Meanwhile, even as the K series gets all the attention, Xiaomi is not taking things lightly with the Redmi Note range, which was originally responsible for the uplifting of the company. in the first place of the smartphone market in India. The company has confirmed this week that the Redmi Note 8 will be powered by the Snapdragon 665, while the Note 8 Pro will be one of the first devices to ship with the MediaTek Helio G90T under the hood.
In addition to the K30, Xiaomi is probably working on the successor to the K20 Pro, which has enjoyed tremendous success in India since its launch last month. It will also offer a 5G option, which will make it another 5G-capable mid-range device on the market next year, alongside the Galaxy A90 from Samsung.
