The | The comparison
The Redmi K30 Pro 5G will be Xiaomi's next budget home flagship. The phone had already been tipped to launch this month, but now we have a more specific schedule: end of March. Lu Weibing, the general manager of Redmi in China, took to Weibo to talk about the release date of the Redmi K30 Pro in an unusual way. The vague post (the loose translation of which can be seen below) indicates that the Redmi K30 Pro will be unveiled in China between the launches of the Huawei P40 series and the Honor 30 series. For context, Huawei's launch is planned for the 26th. March, while the Honor event is scheduled for early April. This restriction means that the launch of Redmi should take place during the last week of March.

What to expect from the Redmi K30 Pro?
As its name suggests, the Redmi K30 Pro will be the flagship phone of the Redmi K30 family. The launch trailer confirms that the phone will sport a display without a notch, in favor of a pop-up selfie camera. Since the cheaper Redmi K30 has a 120Hz display, we expect the K30 Pro to also come with a high refresh rate display, albeit in an AMOLED flavor. Inside, the Redmi K30 Pro will be powered by Snapdragon 865 chipset with X55 modem for dual-mode 5G connectivity. LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage will also be reduced. The phone will work on MiUI 11 out of the box. Another leak indicated that it would have a 4.700mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. As for the cameras, the Redmi K30 Pro should have a 64-megapixel main camera with an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens. The other specifications are not yet mentioned, but they should be published in the next few days. Could it become the Poco flagship phone we've been waiting for?
