Note: All of the features mentioned in this article—the 120Hz display, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and Sony IMX686 image sensor will definitely appear in a Xiaomi smartphone code-named “phoenix” ie, the Redmi K30.
Now, let's get into the highlighted features of Redmi K30.
Side Mounted Fingerprint Scanner
In the latest versions of MIUI 11, a new method called “isBroadSideFingerprint” has been added that returns true if the device’s code-name matches either “phoenix” or “Picasso.” At the current moment, we are not much aware of “Picasso”. In any case, the string that follows this code tells us that “BroadSide” refers to the right side of the device: “Fingerprint sensor is located on the right edge of your device.”
Apart from all these, the graphic titled “core_scan_gesture_broadside” delivers a generic smartphone with dual hole-punch front cameras and a right-side-mounted fingerprint scanner which is great news and will be a new experience for the users.
Xiaomi Redmi has already announced that the all-new K30 holds a dual hole-punch design and it's assumed to be made with the likeness of the Redmi K30 in mind. You can still expect at least two of the smartphones from the Xiaomi brand that holds dual hole-punch designs and side-mounted fingerprint scanners.
120Hz Display Refresh Rate
It's discovered that the Xiaomi is working on a 120Hz display smartphone. This is purely based on a hidden setting that is found for changing the refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz. It didn't work to force this setting to show up as the Xiaomi device has a high refresh rate display.
We know that the Xiaomi device comes with such a display and the device code-named “phoenix.” A method called “isSuppotHighFrameRate” returns true if the device code-name matches “phoenix.” The refresh rate setting switch between 60Hz and 120Hz, that the Redmi K30 comes with a display with 120Hz refresh rate support.
Sony IMX686 Image Sensor
Sony has already posted a teaser on its Weibo page about its upcoming IMX686 image sensor. Weibo is a Chinese social media site and all where curious why Sony shared such a piece of news in Weibo. But now we have good news that the upcoming Redmi K30 from Xiaomi's family is the first smartphone device with the IMX686 and Sony is teasing the sensor ahead of the smartphone’s upcoming launch soon in China.
Much details are not disclosed about IMX 686 and the only thing we know is that it’s supposed to be a 60MP image sensor.
The evidence we found for “phoenix” having Sony’s IMX686 comes from a Qualcomm camera library. Below listed are the strings within the library:
“phoenix_imx686,” “phoenix_s5k3t2,” “phoenix_gc02m1_depth,” and “phoenix_gc02m1_front.”
All Features at a Glance
Redmi K30 is tipped to feature a 6.66-inch full-HD display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and 120Hz refresh rate. Covered with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5, the K30's display is well protected.

Along with all these, Redmi K30 also holds NFC, an IR blaster, 3.5mm headphone jack to handle the connectivity suite, and a 4,500mAh battery with 27W fast charging support.
Internally packed with Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC along with SoC paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, Redmi K30 delivers better performance. The 6GB + 64GB configuration is expected to be priced at roughly Rs. 20,000 and Xiaomi are expected to launch more variants as well.
