Xiaomi (so far) hasn’t delivered the Pocophone F2 that budget phone fans were hoping to see in 2019, but the company’s Redmi sub-brand helped ease the pain with the affordable and awesome Redmi K20 Pro and Redmi K20 (or Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro in the West). Now, we’re getting our first glimpse at their successors — the Redmi K30 series.

Redmi 8 review: It’s a side-grade really

Xiaomi's dominance of the entry-level market was built on the back of the Redmi series. However, the entry of Realme, and its focus on vibrant designs has put a dent in Xiaomi's momentum. Realme increased …

In a post on Weibo, Redmi general manager Lu Weibing shared a teaser render of an unspecified K30 series phone with a punch-hole display and what appears to be a dual front facing selfie camera.

There’s not much you can do to improve the aesthetics of a hole in a display, but the design will be very familiar to Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus users as it’s essentially the same placement and overall look.

This also suggests Redmi is abandoning the pop-up cameras we saw on the K20 and K20 Pro. I guess they could add those in as well and have three cameras, but that’d be complete overkill.

Weibing also expanded on the phones’ 5G support. We already knew the phones would be 5G ready after thanks to the exec’s comments in August, but we’ve now got confirmation the handsets will support standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G. You can read about why this is significant and the difference between the two here.

In addition to the new info provided on Weibo, Redmi also touched on the possible pricing of the K30 series at a Redmi 8 event in China. According to Sparrow News, Weibing noted that the K30 will not be the most affordable 5G phone, but it won’t stray too far from the brand’s reputation for delivering affordable phones. Xiaomi already holds the mantle of the cheapest 5G phone with the €599 Mi Mix 3 5G.

Are you excited to hear more about the Redmi K30 series? Let us know in the comments.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
