Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has been hyping up the launch of its first flagship smartphone, the Redmi K20 for the past few weeks. We’ve already seen a myriad of teasers and leaks surrounding this much-awaited flagship device and well, the company finally unveiled the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro at a launch event in Beijing today.
The Redmi K20 Pro has been priced starting at 2,499 yuan (around Rs 25,200) for the 6GB+64GB base variant, with the 6GB+128GB, 8GB+128GB and the specced-out 8GB+256GB retailing at 2,599 yuan, 2,799 yuan, and 2,999 yuan respectively.
Redmi K20 Pro: Specs and Features
Starting off with the design, Redmi took center stage to highlight that it’s important for flagship phones to sport a metal and glass build. Well, that’s exactly what the company strived for and has achieved, along with the charm flame pattern on the rear panel that looks a bit much at first. However, I believe it will grow on you over time.
We already knew Redmi K20 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset and of course, that’s the case. This is coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. We have listed all the configurations for the smartphone in the pricing section above.
Well, call me impressed because there isn’t a whole lot of difference between the Redmi K20 Pro and its younger sibling — the Redmi K20. The company has kept the build and hardware specs almost the same, except for trading out the flagship chipset for a mid-range one.
Alongside its Redmi K20 series, the company has also debuted the entry-level Redmi 7A, an upgrade over the Redmi 6A from last year. It sports a 5.45-inch HD display with massive bezels, is powered by the Snapdragon 439 SoC, and packs a 13MP rear shooter and 5MP selfie camera. Redmi 7A also has a large 4,000mAh battery with 10W charging support.
