Design
The K30 eludes premium the moment you hold it in your hand. According to a KXD industrial designer, the design of the K30 is inspired by the beauty of glass arts, using modern technology and craftsmanship to create a new interpretation of modern glass art. The KXD K30 uses ultra strong fortified glass on both sides, which is damage and scratch resistant, and also a beauty to behold with its 2.5D edge. What’s more, the back cover has 10 layers of nano-optical coating, which gives the glass a rich layer of illusion and reflects light and shadow from different angles.
Hand-feel
The hand-feel of the K30 is simply unforgettable. The metal band around the phone acts as part of the antennas and also the structure that holds the front and back glass covers together with rounded curvature to offer great hand-feel. The metal frame is processed with high precision CNC of 0.05mm, with the color of the rear glass cover, making middle frame melt between the two glasses. Kudos to KXD designers and engineers for such a stunning piece of work!
Display
The visual experience that the full-screen display of K30 bring is immersive. It has no notch or cut-out, which is a perfect choice for display perfectionist. This 5.7-inch IPS display has 1440×720 HD+ resolution, and is powered by KXD’s RawColor display enhancement technology to bring true-to-life colors with outstanding contrast and saturation with 99% sRGB color gamut. With in-cell technology and minimal bezels, you just feel that the screen seem to be floating on the surface.

K30 features 13MP+5MP dual rear camera set-up with an 8MP front camera. The main camera has F2.0 large aperture, making low-light shots just clearer.
