Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi K30S technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi K30S suits buyers who want a very smooth display and a capable battery, and can live with a heavier phone: at 216 g, it weighs more than most phones of its time.

Its 6.67″ IPS LCD display pairs a 144 Hz refresh rate, among the best of its time, with 650 nits peak brightness, above that of most phones launched around the same time. Resolution is 1080 × 2400 px, with 395 ppi. The Snapdragon 865 posts 589,000 points in AnTuTu, better than most phones launched around the same time. Its 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage also exceed what most phones of its time offer.

The main camera combines a 1/1.73″ sensor, larger than that of most phones of its time, with 64 MP resolution, higher than most. Overall, the camera is above average, although its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most phones of its time. The 5000 mAh battery and 33 W charging exceed what most offer; the battery itself is among the best. Connectivity is also better than that of most phones launched around the same time.

With a NeoScore of 6.2, the Redmi K30S is a strong fit for buyers who value a fluid screen, battery capacity and generous storage, and accept its weight and less competitive aperture.
