It’s not the only Redmi phone shown off in China today, as the brand also revealed the standard Redmi K20, starting at roughly $289. Both phones offer a rather striking glass design, in-display fingerprint sensors, NFC, and pop-up cameras. But here’s what else you’re getting for the price.

How do they compare?

Xiaomi redmi K20 Pro render rear glass and pop up camera

The Redmi K20 Pro specs include a top-flight Snapdragon 855 chipset, 6GB to 8GB of RAM, and 64GB to 256GB of storage (Xiaomi’s website doesn’t confirm whether this is expandable). Meanwhile, the standard model offers the same RAM and storage options, but swaps out the processor in favor of an upper mid-range Snapdragon 730 chipset.

Both phones also offer a 4,000mAh battery with USB-C connectivity, but the Pro model also delivers 27 watt fast charging (although you don’t get a 27 watt charger in the box). Thinking about the standard K20? Then you’ll only get 18 watt charging.

The Redmi K20 specs.

The Redmi K20 series devices offer 20MP pop-up cameras, allowing the Xiaomi sub-brand to bring a proper full-screen display to the table. But the two phones also share a triple rear camera setup, featuring a 48MP main shooter, 13MP ultra-wide snapper, and 8MP telephoto camera.

There is one purported difference here though, as the main camera is a Sony IMX586 sensor on the Pro model and a Sony IMX582 sensor on the standard variant. This is according to Redmi’s own slideshow at the launch event, but this is the first time we’ve heard about the latter sensor.

Neither phone seems to offer optical image stabilization, so you’ll need to keep your hands steady at night or when recording video clips. Speaking of video, the Redmi K20 Pro offers 4K/60fps capabilities, but the vanilla variant tops out at 4K/30fps.

That’s it for the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro specs! What do you think of these devices? Let us know in the comments.
