Our Take On Redmi K20 Pro Premium Edition

The Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro were launched in India a few months back. These smartphones do sell well, but there is criticism from a set of buyers stating that it is priced on the higher side of the scale. However, it makes sense as the Redmi K20 series uses the Snapdragon 855 SoC. Given that the Premium Edition has better hardware aspects, we are sure that it will be priced relatively higher than the standard variant. However, we are yet to see if this device will be launched in India.
