The Redmi K30 5G was launched with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage, but its TENAA listing has now been refreshed to suggest the existence of a 12GB RAM variant.

The listing also suggests that the phone will offer up to 512GB of internal storage option. Earlier, the phone offered a maximum of 256GB of storage, but now a new 512GB option has also been added. This suggests that a new Redmi K30 5G 12GB RAM + 512GB storage option variant could launch soon.

Redmi K30 5G high-end model is priced in China at CNY 2,899 (roughly Rs. 29,100), and the 12GB RAM + 512GB model should be priced higher than this.
