Redmi is known for its affordable phones, and this phone makes no exceptions. The Redmi K30 pro is a successor to the Redmi K20 pro and is packed with features that are mostly only found in premium flagship phones. Its cost starts around $425, which gives great competition to other smartphones in this price range and premium ones too. Here are the features and specifications for the Redmi K30 Pro.
Build
The Redmi K30 pro is a glass sandwich phone with an aluminum frame with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back. Its dimensions are 6.43 x 2.97 x 0.35 in, and the weight comes to about 218 grams. It comes in four colors: Sky Blue, Space Grey, Star Ring Purple, and Moonlight White.

The 5MP telephoto camera also has a macro lens, which can take close-up shots without standing close to the object, and it helps create background blur in video and audio known as the bokeh effect.
