The Redmi K20 and K20 Pro are Xiaomi's new top flagships this week. Both smartphones are designed to impress with top features and a low price at the same time. The self-proclaimed "Flagship Killer 2.0" can do just that.
The company has also created a competitor in its own product range with the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro. The Pro model is cheaper than the Xiaomi Mi 9 and at the same time offers - at least on the page - better features. With this configuration, you can beat any competition - be it OnePlus or other Xiaomi models. Nevertheless, savings will have been made here, for example in terms of software or processing. Otherwise such a price is not possible.
Redmi K20 Pro: These are the specs
The Redmi K20 Pro comes with a 6,39-inch AMOLED display with 91,9% coverage on the front. The dimensions are 156,7×74,3×8,8 mm and it weighs 191 grams. It has a FHD+ resolution - the resolution can also be reset via software. Inside, it is equipped with a Snapdragon 855 with 6 or 8 GB RAM. The internal memory is 64, 128 or 256 GB (UFS 2.1).
The camera comes in a triple combo with a resolution of 48 MP (f / 1.75), 13 MP (wide-angle lens, f / 2.4) and 6 MP (teleoptic lens, f / 2.4). The front camera has a resolution of 20 megapixels (f / 2.0) - by the way, this comes as a pop-up camera. This means that it extends when it is needed - the notch is omitted. Unfortunately, there is no OIS.

The fingerprint sensor is in the display, the battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh and wireless charging is not possible. On the other hand, there is only 27 W fast charging. 5G is not implemented, but Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and WLAN 802.11 ac and a 3,5mm headphone jack are standard equipment. Android 9.0 Pie with MIUI 10 is currently running on it as software. It is also not waterproof - but it costs little:
From June 1st, the Redmi K20 Pro will be available in China in the colors Flame Red, Glacier Blue and Carbon Fiber Black. The cheapest version with 6 GB RAM + 64 GB internal storage costs the equivalent of around 325 euros (original: 2499 yuan) - the version with 128 GB internal storage costs ten euros more. Then there are versions with 8 GB RAM with 128/256 GB internal storage. If you want the best, you'll have to pay the equivalent of 390 euros. However, these are only converted prices - the actual euro prices are still pending. Likewise, whether the Redmi K20 will even make it to us.
Redmi K20: a little less power, even cheaper
In addition to the Redmi K20 Pro, Xiaomi also introduced the Redmi K20, an even cheaper version with a Snapdragon 730 and 6 GB RAM, compared to the Snapdragon 855 and up to 8 GB RAM. The display size is also identical - just like the rest of the features.

The brother of the Pro model is available in the colors Carbon Black, Flame Red and Glacier Blue and costs the equivalent of around 260 euros (1999 yuan) for the version with 6GB RAM/64GB storage. The more expensive version with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage costs ten euros more. It can be pre-ordered now and will be sold in China from June 6th.
