Xiaomi Knocks At Oneplus Door! Believe The Hype Or Kill The Hype?
My Mobile|August 2019

Just a day after launching the flagship killer, as many claims, Xiaomi, has to clear its stand on pricings of Redmi K20 Pro and K20. Twitterati slammed the Chinese mobile manufacturer, for over-stepping the price barrier in which they want to see Redmi smartphones to be and, trolled the company and the smartphones for being #overpriced. There could be many thoughts and rationale behind this move by Xiaomi but, what I felt was that it now wants to knock at the doors of OnePlus in the price segment of Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000. With the two new smartphones Xiaomi has entered into 20K and plus category for the first time. It did launch Mi Mix 2 into 30K+ segment but, it did not do well at that time.

Pricing

Announcing the two models, RedmiK20 and K20 Pro, Manu Jain, Managing Director, Xiaomi India, and Vice President, Xiaomi, said, “Redmi K20 and K20 Pro truly redefine the ultimate flagship experience. While the premium 20K+ segment was relatively small traditionally, we are beginning to see massive growth in this segment. We hope Redmi K20 Pro and Redmi K20 will completely disrupt this segment with the kind of experience on offer.”

To begin with, Xiaomi launched Redmi K20 Pro in two RaM/ROM variants of 6gB/128gB and 8gB/256gB priced at Rs 27,999 and Rs 30,999 respectively, whereas, Redmi K20 will be available at Rs 21,999 for 6gB/64gB and Rs 23,999 for 6gB/128gB variant.

Specifically, Redmi K20 Pro features a 6.39-inch AMOLED Horizon display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 91.9% screen-to-body ratio, and 2.5D Corning gorilla glass 5 protection. It also sports a 20MP pop-up selfie camera with an edge lighting system that automatically attracts attention when pops out with a 4,000mah battery supported by fast charger of 27W. Redmi K20 Pro does come with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

In optics, Redmi K20 Pro boasts triple rear lens set-up. A 48MP Sony IMX586 with Laser autofocus, 13MP wide-angle lens with 124.8° FOV and an 8MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom. Similarly, Redmi K20 Pro uses Qualcomm snapdragon 855 octa-core chipset. The K20 also has similar features with just a few minute changes.
