Stunning photography: 64MP quad camera and Audio Zoom

Redmi K30 Ultra is fitted with a quad rear camera system, consisting of a 64MP high resolution main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide angle camera, a 5MP telemacro camera, and a 2MP portrait depth sensor.

The 64MP high resolution main camera supports four-in-one 1.6μm large pixels, allowing the hardware to combine four smaller pixels to output 64MP ultra-clear images with large pixels. Meanwhile, the 119° ultra wide-angle lens makes room for stunning landscape snaps, while the portrait depth sensor lens combined with the main camera takes beautiful portraits with natural background blurring.

The telemacro lens boasts a 50mm equivalent focal length, twice the length of the standard smartphone macro lens on the market. It allows images to be taken from much further afield than usual while avoiding disturbance to the objects being photographed. This significantly increases the number of scenarios in which the macro lens can be used.

For videos, Redmi K30 Ultra comes with Audio Zoom support. Unlike ordinary dual-mic phones, Redmi K30 Ultra has three microphones, which allows it to “zoom” in on the sound along with the image and capture clear audio even from further away, considerably improving sound reception during filming.

Redmi K30 Ultra enables a myriad of creative photography functions based on its AI capabilities, such as AI Skyscaping and Photo Clones. Photo Clones allows users to take fun surreal photos at any time with no post editing required. The AI Skyscaping feature captures a section of the sky in the photo and allows users to switch and edit it with one tap to create high-quality beautiful images regardless of weather conditions and location.
