Xiaomi is trying to capture every smartphone market, whether its a mid-range, budget, or flagship market. The Redmi K30 series is a perfect example of my statement. The Redmi K30 series consists of Redmi K30 4G, Redmi K30 5G, and Redmi K30 Pro. The K30 4G is powered by Snapdragon 730G as a mid-range offering while K30 5G features Snapdragon 765G as an upper mid-range offering. And finally for the top-notch lovers, the K30 Pro with Snapdragon 865. There are now two more phones in the K30 lineup. One is speculated to be the budget Redmi K30i and a new, unexpected phone.
The unexpected phone also features an un-expected chipset. It will be called as Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition (Extreme Edition). The phone is said to launch with an un-announced Snapdragon 768G.
The upcoming Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition was first leaked from a Chinese retailer’s listing. It stated that the K30 5G Speed Edtion will feature Snapdragon 768G. We first thought it might have been a typo mistake. Later, the specs of chipset got leaked as well as the K30 5G Speed Edition is officially revealed via a poster on Weibo. The poster also confirms that the Snapdragon 768G is a real chipset and not a typo mistake.
