Design and Display

When it comes to design, the Xiaomi Redmi K30s can be best described as a spitting image of the Redmi Mi 10T. The resemblance is uncanny. They also share the same color variants, which is going to make differentiating them by their outward appearance difficult.

Perusing the Redmi K30s chassis, you will find a square camera module on the rear bearing four cameras and an LED flash. You will also find some text branding on the rear, give you some details about the mobile phone, and furthermore let you know it’s a Xiaomi smartphone.

Upfront, we have got a 6.67-inch display, which happens to be the same size as the Xiaomi Redmi K30 ultra’s display. However, comparing the display properties on both smartphones reveals that opted for an IPS LCD panel as opposed to the AMOLED panel we got on the K30 ultra.

Xiaomi sort of made compensation for this downgrade in the display panel, by employing a 144Hz refresh rate, as opposed to 120Hz on the K30 ultra.
