Interestingly, one of the teasers also mentions that the Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition will be powered by a brand new Snapdragon 768G processor. To recall, the vanilla Redmi K30 5G was launched in China in December with the Snapdragon 765G chipset.

DroidHolic reports that the Snapdragon 768G chipset comes with two cores clocked at 2.8GHz and 2.4GHz respectively, and six power efficient cores that clock at 1.8GHz.
Coming back to the Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition, the smartphone will come with a pill-shaped punch-hole display to accommodate two selfie cameras. The listing on JD.com adds that the phone will sport a 6.67-inch LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 64MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 5MP macro lens. The mysterious Snapdragon 768G SoC will be paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. We will know more about the Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition on May 11th at 2 PM China time (11:30 AM IST). Qualcomm may announce the Snapdragon 768G chipset ahead of the launch event.
