Redmi K20 Pro going on sale in India

Update: September 4, 2019 at 3:30 a.m. ET: The Redmi K20 and K20 Pro, both, are now available in a gorgeous Pearl White variant. The new version has a pearlescent finish at the back paired with a color-coordinated gold frame that is decidedly more elegant than the aggressive colors we’ve seen so far. 

Original article: The Redmi K20 and K20 Pro might be the most eagerly anticipated Xiaomi devices in India in quite some time, and the manufacturer has finally launched the phones in the market today.

Both phones offer a 20MP pop-up selfie camera, 4,000mAh battery, 6.39-inch OLED screen (full HD+) with in-display fingerprint sensor, and a 48MP triple rear camera setup. Other shared specs include USB-C, a 3.5mm port, and NFC.

The Redmi K20 Pro might be the star attraction here, serving up a Snapdragon 855 processor, and 27 watt fast charging. Meanwhile, the standard K20 delivers a Snapdragon 730 chipset, and 18 watt charging.

The two phones also share a similar triple rear camera setup, featuring a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide snapper (124.8 degree FOV), and an 8MP 2x telephoto shooter. However, the Pro variant uses the Sony IMX586 48MP sensor, while the standard model offers the IMX582 sensor. It’s reported that the IMX582 sensor doesn’t support 4K/60fps video recording like the IMX586.

Keen to get your hands on a Redmi K20 or K20 Pro? The Pro variant starts at 27,999 rupees (~$407) for the 6GB/128GB model, and 30,999 rupees (~$451) for the 8GB/256GB version. Meanwhile, the standard K20 starts at 21,999 rupees (~$320) for the 6GB/64GB variant, and 23,999 rupees (~$349) for the 6GB/128GB option. The phones will be available via the Mi India website, Mi Home stores, as well as Flipkart from July 22 at midday.

The firm is also selling the 27 watt charger for the Redmi K20 Pro separately, and it’ll set you back 999 rupees (~$15). You can also grab a red, blue, or black case for 499 rupees (~$7).
