Xiaomi Redmi K30 will go official on December 10 in China, the smartphone brand has confirmed today. The Redmi K30 will be the brand’s first smartphone with dual-mode 5G support and dual punch-hole display. Both these features were confirmed in the past and today’s teaser reaffirmed the same. The Redmi K30 has been in the news for a while, thanks to the success of Redmi K20 series across the world. It seems like Xiaomi will launch the Redmi K30 on December 10 and there’s no update on whether it will launch the Redmi K30 Pro as well on the same day. According to a previous rumour, the Redmi K30 Pro will arrive in the first half of 2020 with the upcoming flagship chipset from Qualcomm. The Redmi K30 will likely make use of the MediaTek’s dual-mode 5G supported flagship SoC.

Xiaomi Redmi K30 to Offer Dual Mode 5G Support: What it Means?
5G network availability across the globe is still in nascent stages, but telecom operators in countries like the United States, United Kingdon, China, Japan and so on are already making major moves to broaden the 5G network coverage. Dual Mode 5G on smartphones refer to two modes- Non-Standalone Access (NSA) and Standalone Access (SA). Up until now, telecom operators rolled out 5G NSA in various countries, which means they made changes to the existing 4G infrastructure to achieve faster speeds and a better experience. But the 5G Standalone Access (SA) needs to be built from scratch and only a few telcos across the world are working on this right now.
