Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi on Tuesday finally launched its much anticipated Redmi K30 Pro along with its sibling K30 Pro Zoom in China. The K30 Pro series are largely identical apart from the rear camera with the devices packed with features like the Snapdragon 865 chipset and larger 4700mAh battery. During the online launch event for the K30 Pro, the company revealed that the K20 and the K20 Pro in its nine-month period have sold five million units. With those numbers as the benchmark, only time will tell if the K30 Pro can match or beat the tone set by its predecessor. Here’s how the two devices fare in comparison.

Redmi K30 Pro vs Redmi K20 Pro: Design and Display
The Redmi K20 Pro and the Redmi K30 Pro are largely identical in design on the front with the devices carrying a pop-up camera and largely an uninterrupted display. While the K20 Pro had a 6.4-inch screen, the K30 Pro comes at a slightly larger 6.7-inch screen. The K30 Pro comes with the upgraded HDR10+ display with the resolution of 1080×2400 pixels while the K20 Pro had a HDR10 display with a resolution of 1080×2340 pixels.
On the rear, the differences are greatly visible as the K20 Pro came with a triple camera that were in a vertical layout while the K30 Pro’s quad camera system comes in circular housing. The 3.5mm headphone jack and the charging port are similar and are present on both the phones.
