A few hours ago we witnessed the presentation of new flagships from Redmi from the K30 series. A total of 2 models were presented – K30 Pro and K30 Pro Zoom.
We have described a detailed summary of phones globally in our article, but now let's take a closer look at the differences between these smartphones.
The main difference is in the cameras
The first, fundamental difference concerns cameras and their features. Below you will find a detailed description of the sensors:
Redmi K30 Pro | Redmi K30 Pro Zoom | |
---|---|---|
Primary sensor | 64 MPx Sony IMX 686 Exmor RS | 64 MPx Sony IMX 686 Exmor RS |
Aperture f / 1.89 | sensor size 1 / 1.7 ″ | 1.6 µm | Aperture f / 1.89 | sensor size 1 / 1.7 ″ | 1.6 µm | |
6P lens | 7P lens (transmits more light) | |
Electronic image stabilization | 4-axis optical stabilization | |
8K 30 fps | 4K 60 fps video | 8K 30 fps | 4K 60 fps video | |
Wide angle sensor | 13 MPx | angle of view 123 ° | 13 MPx | angle of view 123 ° |
telephoto lens | 5 MPx | designed for macro photos | 8 MPx | 3x optical zoom | 30x digital |
No stabilization | 4-axis optical stabilization | |
Portrait sensor | 2 MPx | pixel size 1.75 μm | 2 MPx | pixel size 1.75 μm |
As you may have noticed, the first difference is in the main sensor. Redmi The K30 Pro, unlike the K30 Pro Zoom, does not have 4-axis optical stabilization, but only electronic one.
Main sensor Redmi The K30 Pro Zoom also has one more lens – a total of 7, compared to the K30 Pro, which has 6. Thanks to this, the Zoom will deliver slightly better results, as more light will pass through the sensor.
The second difference concerns telephoto lenses. Redmi The K30 Pro has an implemented 5 MPx telephoto lens designed for beautiful detailed macro photos, with an equivalent focal length of up to 50 mm, which is most similar to human vision and is able to focus at close distances from 3 to 7 cm. Like the main sensor, it does not have optical stabilization.
Telephoto lens in Redmi The K30 Pro Zoom comes with an amazing 30x digital and 3x optical zoom and also has 4-axis optical stabilization. It follows that only the Zoom model has the mentioned dual optical stabilization.
In the cheapest version Redmi decreased
Redmi The K30 Pro is available in 6GB / 8GB RAM and 128GB / 256GB storage configurations. The cheapest configuration, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, is the only one that comes with older LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.0 storage.
All other configurations including those Redmi K30 Pro Zoom, have a newer and more powerful LPDDR5 RAM module and also UFS 3.1 internal memory.
So far, these are all the differences we currently know about. The phone belongs to the top in its category and no wonder. The best processor, excellent cameras, fast storage and many other aspects rightly rank this smartphone among the flagship killers.
Basic configuration Redmi The K30 Pro in the 6 GB RAM + 128 GB memory version starts at a price of around 394 € / 11 00 CZK. It was this version that got a slightly slower memory, but you hardly recognize it in reality. You can find the complete Chinese price list of K30 Pro and K30 Pro Zoom in our article on the introduction of smartphones.
However, the prices available so far are only for the Chinese market and we do not yet have any official information on global availability.
