Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi which functions as an independent brand from the Chinese parent company, has launched their latest flagship handsets: Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro. The new phones boast of some surprisingly features for otherwise a budget centric smartphone brand. Redmi is known for its mid-range, affordable phones has given the new K20 series a high-end processor, AMOLED display, glass and metal design, 48MP camera and much more.
Redmi has dubbed this a flagship killer and this surely seems like one. Also this a first time that Redmi is launching a flagship device. From the teaser images, we predict the Redmi is drawing comparisons of the new K20 smartphone with K.O. - Knock Out shown in the boxing matches. The K20 Pro comes with a premium Snapdragon 855 chipset, triple camera setup, 20MP Pop-up Selfie camera, FOD AMOLED display, 4000mAh battery with fast charging and more.

There is also Game Turbo 2.0 feature which comes with optimizations for gaming, headphone/sound quality while gaming. So overall this flagship phone from Redmi is packed well to take on industry leaders such as OnePlus 7 Pro and others. The K20 on the other hand, gets a Snapdragon 730 processor and seems like the younger sibling of the two.
Now coming to the deciding factor, the pricing. The Redmi K20 Pro has been launched in China in four variant starting at 2,499 yuan. While the top end model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage space has been priced at 2,999 yuan.
