Xiaomi’s sub-brand redmi are all set to launch their very first flagship device in India in the form of the K20 series which would consist of the K20 and K20 pro. The phones were launched in China on the 28th of May 2019.

Specifications and Features:

Lets start with the design of the phones, Both phones come with a glass back which gives it a premium feel to it but could prove to be very fingerprint prone, hence usage of a case is preferable.

On to the display, both the phones come with a 6.39 inch FHD+ AMOLED display which has a display resolution of 2340×1080 and also houses a indisplay fingerprint sensor. It comes with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio providing a true bezel less experience with almost 91.9% screen to body ratio.

Next on the list is the performance of the phones. Here’s where things differ between the 2 phones. The K20 is powered by the Qualcomm snapdragon 730 which runs on the 8nm process technology whereas the The K20 Pro runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 which is Qualcomm’s latest flagship grade processor running on the 7nm processor technology.

Moving on to the cameras, both phones have a similar camera setup consisting of a primary 48 mp (f1.75) lens paired with a 13mp (f2.4) wide angle lens and a 8mp (f2.4) telephoto lens. Only difference the two being the primary lens i.e in the K20 it would consist of the new SonyIMX582 whereas the K20 Pro has the SonyIMX586 which has been previous seen in the likes of the Oneplus 7 series. The front camera on the other hand in both phones remains the same which is a 20mp pop-up camera.

Both phones will be powered by a 4000mah battery. The K20 Pro can now be charged through a maximum of 27W charger via the type C port whereas the K20 supports only 18W. The phones are set to be launched in several configurations varying from 6+64,8+128 and 8+256.

On the other hand the K20 has been priced starting at 1,999 yuan (around Rs 20200) for its base variant.

Xiaomi’s marketing team over the past few days have taken several digs at Oneplus and have termed the K20 series a “Flagship Killer”. The K20 series is expected to go live in India in mid-june and fans are extremely excited for how things will pan out for the K20. The Oneplus 7 pro is nearly 2 times priced to that of the K20 pro with nearly the same specs. Could this be a game changing move by Xiaomi? only time will tell.
