Xiaomi was the first one to unveil a Snapdragon 765G-powered phone in the form of Redmi K30 5G back in December last year. Now, five months later, Snapdragon has announced a new Snapdragon 768G chipset, which is a minor upgrade over the 765G. And today, Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition has been unveiled as the first smartphone powered by this new Snapdragon chipset. It’s also the latest addition to Xiaomi’s 5G phone lineup.
The design and basic hardware remain the same as last year’s Redmi K30 5G and the biggest change onboard is the new chipset. Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition is powered by the Snapdragon 768G.
Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition also comes equipped with a 4,500mAh battery with 30W fast-charging support via the USB Type-C port on board. You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster in tow.
Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition is now up for pre-order in China for the same price as its Snapdragon 765G-powered counterpart. You need to shell out 1,999 yuan (around Rs. 21,350) to snag this new phone when sales kick off on 14th May.
