The absence of a 120 Hz display in the latest flagship models from the Chinese giant has sparked a lot of heated debate. The truth is that 90 Hz panels are pretty smooth and pleasant to use, but the competition is on a completely different level.
According to the latest information we have available, this “hole” should be filled by a smartphone called Redmi K30 Ultra. This model has been rumored for quite some time, and now its complete specs have leaked.
Upgraded flagship equipment
Various Chinese trusted sources claim that the new Redmi K30 Ultra won’t just be some ordinary model—quite the opposite. We’re talking about what is, so far, the best-equipped smartphone that will proudly belong to Xiaomi and Redmi’s portfolio.
The front of the device should, according to all indications, be made by a 6.67″ AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Again, as with the F2 Pro model, the smartphone will deliver a great Full Screen experience thanks to a hidden selfie camera.
It should offer a resolution of 20 MPx and be placed in a durable sliding mechanism. On the back, there will be the same main sensor with a 64 MPx resolution that we know from the POCO F2 Pro / Redmi K30 Pro.
The most powerful MediaTek
On the performance side, we should expect certain changes. POCO F2 Pro / Redmi K30 Pro has a flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, but the new Redmi K30 Ultra should be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+.
A powerful processor from MediaTek should be paired with 6 / 8 / 12 GB of RAM alongside 128 / 256 / 512 GB of internal storage. Only time will tell whether the MediaTek chip is capable of competing with the proven Snapdragon.
Using a MediaTek processor could also be beneficial due to the announced price increase for the Snapdragon 875, which will be much more expensive. There won’t be a shortage of the latest Android 10 along with the MIUI 12 overlay.
The battery in a smartphone is just as important. The Redmi K30 Ultra should feature a 4500 mAh battery, which should provide solid battery life. Fast 33 W charging is already a must-have minimum in the flagship class.
Finally, it’s expected that the new device will come with support for the latest Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC for contactless payments. We don’t have any reports yet about availability in foreign markets, but we’ll be among the first to inform you about updates.
The arrival of another smartphone with 120 Hz support makes us very happy, because at the moment this feature is offered only by Xiaomi’s recently launched model Black Shark 3S.
