Another teaser reveals that the Redmi K30 will feature a 6.67-inch display. The same teaser also shows the smartphone sporting a dual-selfie camera punch-hole cutout on the top right.  At the back, we can see that the Redmi K30 will feature a frosted glass. A report by PlayfulDroid on this also claims that it found evidence that the Redmi K30 will sport a 64 MP main camera, accompanied by an 8 MP, a 5 MP, and a 2 MP sensor.

Xiaomi has also shared an official teaser of the Redmi K30 but it barely reveals any details about the smartphone.

Last week, Xiaomi also teased that the Redmi K30 will feature the “world’s first high-resolution image sensor". The Redmi K30 series will also be the company’s first smartphone to support dual-mode 5G that includes hardware for standalone (SA) and non-standalone 5G networks.

Earlier, Weibing had teased two posters in China on Weibo. The first teaser confirmed that the Redmi K30 will sport a dual-punch hole display camera for selfies. Two front cameras are seen horizontally aligned and are placed on the top right of the smartphone. The other teaser was about 5G support.
