Redmi K30 series confirmed to debut in 2020

Redmi K30, the successor to the Redmi K20, was earlier tipped to make debut as early as this year. The anticipation seemed valid since Redmi general manager Lu Weibing kept sharing teasers, besides engaging with fans on social media, over the launch of Redmi K30. However, Weibing put an end to the speculation by announcing Redmi K30 will be launched in 2020. Redmi K30 is confirmed to be the first 5G smartphone under the brand.

“In 2020, Redmi is a 5G pioneer,” said Weibing in a Weibo post, hinting at a major drive that high-end Redmi phones next year will likely be 5G compatible. Redmi K30 is expected to be launched in a 5G variant and a non-5G variant. Rumours have also suggested that Redmi K30 Pro will also be launched. Xiaomi already has a line of 5G smartphones under its Mi brand.
