Today's leak is pretty much in line with these details as well.In a post on Weibo, a leakster has shared the preliminary specification sheet of the Redmi K30, which claims that the 4G variant of the smartphone will sport a 6.66-inch LCD screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 1080 pixel resolution.

The display is believed to be protected by the 5th generation Gorilla Glass.The specification sheet also suggests that the Redmi K30 will sport a physical fingerprint sensor but on the edge of the phone.
