Redmi K30 Pro is all set to be launched on March 24 in China. However, ahead of the launch, the company has released official render of the handset. Further, it is revealing K30 Pro features in bits and pieces. The latest teaser talks about the presence of a faster UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 RAM. The phone is already confirmed to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset.
The latest development comes from Weibo. Redmi has released several teasers on the Chinese social media platform. The Redmi K30 Pro has been confirmed to come with UFS 3.1 storage. It is claimed to deliver write speeds of up to 750 Mbps on the device. Redmi chief Lu Weibing says UFS 3.1 provides a greatly improved experience over the existing UFS 3.0. Further, it is teased to come with LPRDD5 RAM.
Another teaser shows that the Redmi K30 Pro will have custom VC liquid cooling technology. It is tipped to provide a promising heat dissipation performance using a 3,435 square millimetres of a liquid-cooled heat sink.
The official render reveals the rear of Redmi K30 Pro. The handset can be seen sporting a quad rear camera setup in a circular camera module. The render also reveals the top edge of the phone, which houses a 3.5mm audio jack, a pop-up camera module and what appears to be an IR sensor. We can also see the “64MP” branding at the center of the camera module. The Redmi K30 Pro is expected to sport the 64MPS Sony IMX686 primary shooter.
The handset is tipped to arrive in standard and Zoom Edition. The latter was first spotted in a recent MIUI 11 build and noticed by the folks over at XDA Developers. Soon enough, Redmi head Lu Weibing officially confirmed its existence on Chinese social media. It may feature 50x zoom capabilities.

Amid COVID-19 crisis, tech platforms are making a premature bet on AI, as human moderators shift to moderating less sensitive content while working from home — Today, let's talk about some of the front-line workers at Facebook and Google working on the pandemic: the content moderators who keep the site running day in and day out.
The world is vulnerable to a new type of trolling as people turn to Zoom video calls to feel connected amidst quarantines. Jerks are using Zoom’s screensharing feature to blast other viewers with the most awful videos from across the internet, from violence to shocking pornography.
That’s just what happened today on the WFH Happy Hour, a popular daily public Zoom call hosted by The Verge reporter Casey Newton and investor Hunter Walk. Suddenly, dozens of attendees were bombarded with disturbing imagery. A troll entered the call and screenshared Two Girls, One Cup and other horrifying sexual videos. Attempts to block the attack were thwarted as the perpetrator simply re-entered the call under a new name and screenshared more gross-out clips. The hosts ended the call rather than subject viewers to the assault until they could stop it.
Just imagine the most frightened look on all these people’s faces. That’s what happened.
The problem stems from Zoom’s policy that “The host does not need to grant screen share access for another participant to share their screen.” However, hosts can disable this option in their settings or the Admin controls of a call. You can either change this in your pre-meeting Settings, or in the in-call admin settings for Share Screen -> Advanced Sharing Settings.
Anyone publicly sharing Zoom links where they could be discovered by trolls, like on Twitter, should be sure to change screensharing to “Host Only” before a call starts or as soon as they see the feature being abused. Some tips from entrepreneur Alex Miller for other ways to protect your Zoom calls include:
“I want to apologize to all our attendees — including my parents, Jim and Sally, who joined #WFHappyHour today for the first time. Today we all learned an important lesson about disabling screen sharing and saw once again the importance of good content moderation” Newton tells me. When asked if he had any photographic evidence of the attack, he told me “lol I was not taking screenshots! I was screaming!”
This is just one of the many new vectors for abuse we’re experiencing in the coronavirus age. We’ve seen phishing attacks purporting to offer health screenings, scams claiming people’s electricity would be shut off during quarantine if they don’t pay, and fake COVID-19 testing kits on sale. There’s always someone willing to exploit a tragedy for money or just to see the world burn, so it’s more important than ever to stay vigilant and keep that “block” button handy.
Tesla is not an essential business according to the Alameda County Sheriff, a declaration that could force the automaker to shutter some of its operations in the county under a shelter in-place directive that was ordered because of the global spread of COVID-19, a disease caused by coronavirus.
The county, which includes Fremont, where Tesla’s factory is located, issued Monday a shelter-in-place order that requires all nonessential businesses to close, including bars, gyms and in-dine restaurants. Takeout and delivery restaurants are still allowed.
Tesla kept the Fremont factory despite the order, claiming that part of the company’s operations fell under an exemption in the county’s order. Tesla CEO Elon Musk told employees in an email that the company would continue operations at the Fremont factory, where the automaker assembles the Model S, Model X, Model 3 and now Model Y electric vehicles. Musk did tell employees that should not feel obligated to come to work if they “feel the slightest bit ill or even uncomfortable,” according to an email first reported by Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg.
The email to Tesla factory employees came just a few days after Musk sent an email to workers at his other company SpaceX that seemed to downplay the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alameda County officials were determining whether Tesla was in fact able to claim that exemption. In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, the county sheriff said Tesla is not an essential business as defined in the Alameda County Health Order. “Tesla can maintain minimum basic operations per the Alameda County Health Order,” the sheriff said in the tweet, but did not elaborate what “minimum basic operations” meant or if it could still produce vehicles there.
TechCrunch was unable to reach Tesla for comment. We will update the story as we learn more.
