According to the poster shared in the Chinese social media, those who pre-order will receive a special gift. Unfortunately, there’s no hint as to what the gift is.
The Redmi K30 5G is currently the company’s most anticipated midrange device thanks to the brand new Snapdragon 765G. The SoC was announced earlier this month with integrated 5G support. Moreover, it features a 6.67-inch display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. A 4,500mAh battery completes the package along with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The handset’s price starts at CNY 1,999 (~$285) and maxes out at CNY 2,899 (~$410) for an 8GB + 256GB variant.
