The flagship killer 2.0 Redmi K20 Pro goes official in China
After OnePlus announced it’s OnePlus 7 flagship, Xiaomi congratulated them but at the same time hints on flagship killer 2.0. The device which is dubbed as Redmi K20 Pro just went official with AnTuTu score of 38k+ to put off OnePlus 7 Pro while costing a lot cheaper.
The Redmi K20 Pro has a massive 6.39-inch OLED display of 1080p resolution on a thin bezel with a 91% body-to-screen ratio. The display supports HDR, while underneath is an in-display fingerprint scanner. It’s protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass, unfortunately, lacks the IP58/68 rating, but that’s is to put down the cost.
For better gaming experience, Redmi has equipped the K20 Pro with the lastest 800-series chip, Snapdragon 855. It comes with Game Turbo 2.0 and 8 layers Graphene Cooling Tech to make your gaming experience smooth. And coupled with up to 8GB RAM and Adreno 640, you’re sure of peak performance even on heavy multitasking. There’s an attachable game pad for the device that costs just CNY 179, things keep getting better for gamers.
The Redmi K20 Pro has taken its camera setup from the MI 9. It has a triple arrangement of a 48MP Sony IMX 586 f/1.75 aperture, 1.6um (4-in-1) pixel, and 1/12” sensor size. It’s accompanied by a 13MP Super Wide Angle lens and 8MP telephoto snapper to give you the best shots while allowing more light. The selfie camera, however, is mounted on a mechanical pop-up and is a 20.1MP ultra-wide sensor.
Powering the device is a 4000mAh battery that supports 27W Quick Charge. The same that features in MI 9 and will charge your Redmi K20 from 0 to 100% in just 73 minutes. While the phone will charge via a USB-C port, the 3.5mm headphone also makes the cut.
For pricing and availability, the Redmi K20 Pro will start from CNY 2,499 ($361) for the 6/64GB base version. The more premium 8/256GB model will sell at CNY 2,999 ($434), while other variants will be for grabs at CNY 2,599 for 6/128GB, CYN 2,799 for 8/128GB model.
There’ll be a limited Avengers Edition for the device, but we’re yet to get more insight about the pricing and availability. You’d get the Reminder K20 regular editions on Red, Black and Blue colors, going on first flash sale on June 1.
