Xiaomi has added a new member to the Redmi K30 series. It is the Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition that has just been announced in China. It is the world's first smartphone to feature Qualcomm's recently unveiled Snapdragon 768G processor. This is also the only thing that differentiates the new edition from the original model i.e. Redmi K30 5G.

The new Snapdragon 768G features overclocked primary cores for faster performance. The GPU is said to offer 15% better graphics handling than the Snapdragon 765G. It has an integrated Snapdragon X52 5G modem that makes the smartphone compatible with both SA and NSA 5G modes.

All other specifications remain unchanged and the Redmi K30 5G Racing Edition can be preordered for CNY 1,999 (about $282) in China.
