In the camera department, Redmi K30 Pro sports a quad-camera setup featuring a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor and support for 8K video recording. The setup also includes a 13MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro lens, and a 5MP telephoto lens.

As for selfies, both the K30 Pro and the K30 Pro Zoom Edition come with a 20MP pop-up camera. Some of the other key specs of the Redmi K30 Pro include a 4,700mAh battery with 33W fast charging, Wi-Fi 6 support, IP53 water resistance, and a headphone jack.

The K30 Pro Zoom Edition, on the other hand, is priced at 3,999 yuan ($565) for the 8GB/256GB version.
