“Redmi K30 will come as a successor to the Redmi K20, which was launched just last month in India”

Redmi K30, the successor to the popular Redmi K20 smartphone, will come with 5G support, the brand’s general manager has confirmed. Redmi’s general manager, Lu Weibing, took to Weibo, the popular Chinese microblogging website, to confirm the upcoming handset’s name and also added that the Redmi K30 smartphone will feature support for 5G as well. Unfortunately, Weibing didn’t share if the upcoming smartphone will have both 4G and 5G variants or if it will be 5G-only. Considering the Redmi series has offered incredible value for money to date, it won’t be a surprise if the 5G variant of the Redmi K30 is offered at an affordable price as well.
