India with bluetooth 5.0 support and 8 hours of battery life.
Xiaomi has also opted for a unique gradient pattern for the back which
helps the device stand out. There is Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection
at the front and the back which helps the smartphone resist wear caused
by daily use.
The Redmi K20 Pro is available in two variants, 6GB RAM with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, priced at Rs. 27,999 and Rs. 30,999 respective
The new Redmi K20 Pro builds on the popular Redmi name but takes Xiaomi
back into high-end territory. Priced starting at Rs. 27,999 with its
top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, this phone undercuts even
OnePlus, which has been the go-to brand for affordable flagship phones
for quite some time now. The Redmi K20 Pro offers many of the features
and capabilities of the OnePlus 7 and even the higher priced OnePlus 7
Pro.
The big display dominates the front of the smartphone and the K20 Pro
has a 91.9% screen-to-body ratio. It is a FHD+ HDR panel and has good
viewing angles and adequate brightness to be visible outdoors.
These cameras deliver good photos during the day and we liked the smartphone's macro performance. Portraits were very good and the phone did manage edge detection well.

The Redmi K20 Pro runs MIUI 10 on top of
Android 9 Pie. The UI does have useful features but is riddled with
spammy notifications throughout the day. The Redmi K20 Pro packs in a
4,000mAh battery that delivers more than a day and a half of battery
life. It ran very well in our HD video loop test and we manage to go
beyond a day with our usage.
The advantage the K20 Pro has over its
competition is in terms of price. It is the most affordable smartphone
with a Qualcomm 855 SoC in India. However, Xiaomi's sale model might
make it hard to get your hands on one.
Rumours suggest that the Redmi K20 India
price may start at around Rs 18,000 to Rs 20,000, while the price of the
Redmi K20 Pro may start at around Rs 25,000.
The leading smartphone manufacturer in India
seems only criticized for pricing since the launch. However, the Redmi
K20 Series has a performance-shaped silver fitting.
Xiaomi calls it the strongest smartphone
already, and it appears to be supported by benchmarks. The Redmi K20 Pro
appears to have overthrown the OnePlus 7 Pro to be the leader of
AnTuTu.
