Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, releases a plethora of smartphones within a year. In December 2019, the company launched the Redmi K30 5G. This smartphone was one of the cheapest 5G phones at the time. However, new information on the MIIT shows that the Redmi K30 5G with model number “M2001G7AC” has a major change. This smartphone is listed with a 48MP main camera. Recall that the original Redmi K30 5G comes with a 64MP main sensor. In fact, it is the first smartphone to use Sony’s IMX686 64MP sensor.
There are a number of interpretations for this latest report. For starters, it could be a mistake by the handlers of the website. Secondly, it is possible that Redmi needs this device to be cheaper. Another possibility is that this could be a Poco version of this phone. In recent times, there have been numerous speculations that a Redmi K30 series phone will launch as a Poco phone.
