Redmi K30 review: Immense value in a difficult ecosystem
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
For just about $230, it’s hard to deny the immense value you’re getting with the Redmi K30. That being said, if you import it from China you’ll need to be ready to sideload Google Play Services to get it to work correctly. I did this and it worked ok for a few days, but after a bit, the phone stopped downloading apps, and Google Pay refused to work. If you live in India, the Redmi K30 is expected to launch in just a few weeks, in early 2020. While the price has not yet been revealed for the Indian market, the device is said to cost around the same as the Redmi K20. If you convert directly from the Chinese starting price of 1,599 yuan, the device would cost about Rs. 16,100. This puts the phone in direct competition with the Realme X2, which costs just Rs. 16,999. Most people in the US and Europe will probably want to go with a more local option, but if you’re brave enough to import one of these and mess with the software, there is a lot of value to be had in the Redmi K30.

Having Realme breathing down Xiaomi's neck has turned out for the better - while they fight - we all win. And the Redmi K30 is an obvious winner even if it's limited to China for now. With that screen, performance, camera, battery, and $300 or so price - it's impossible to lose. Until non-5G Realme X50 arrives, that is. Then it could be a tie. But that's a topic for this one future article.

The Redmi K30 comes with a side-mounted fingerprint reader, which shares space with the power button. This is nice in some regards because it’s a natural place for you to rest your thumb, but if you pick up the phone differently and a different finger touches the sensor, the phone will vibrate to deny you entry. Rear-mounted has always been my placement of choice, but this is subjective based on the user.
