Redmi K30 Pro, K30 Pro Zoom Edition confirmed to launch on March 24 in China

The Redmi K30 Pro is scheduled to launch on March 24, the Xiaomi sub-brand confirmed in a Weibo post on Tuesday. The flagship follow up to the Redmi K20 Pro was already confirmed to rock the Snapdragon 865 SoC. Furthermore, Redmi General Manager and Xiaomi President of China, Lu Weibing also teased the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition that could launch alongside the K30 Pro.

The launch date was announced by the official Redmi handle on Weibo along with a teaser image that shows the rear panel of the phone in all its glory. You can notice a quad-camera setup housed in a circular module along with a gradient design with most possibly a glass exterior. Also noticeable is the 3.5mm headphone jack on top along with an IR blaster.

Previously, a teaser image had suggested that the Redmi K30 Pro will retain the pop-up camera design, a departure from the dual punch-hole selfie camera that debuted with the regular Redmi K30.

Coming to the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition, the phone was first spotted in a recent MIUI 11 build and noticed by the folks over at XDA Developers. Soon enough, Redmi head Lu Weibing officially confirmed its existence on Chinese social media.

A rough translation of the Weibo post reveals he has started using a new smartphone and it’s none other the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition. While details about the device remain bleak, the name itself suggests powerful zooming capabilities in the camera. In fact, the MIUI 11 camera app last year suggested the presence of 50x zoom in a future smartphone. That could just be it.

More details are expected to come out about the two devices in the run-up to the launch.
