Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro first impressions: OnePlus 7 Pro finally gets some serious competition

Fans are divided over the pricing of Xiaomi’s latest Redmi K20 Pro smartphone. With price starting at Rs 27,999, a lot of people didn’t expect a “Redmi” phone to be this expensive. Sure, Redmi K20 Pro has breached the Rs 20,000 mark but calling it overpriced is a bit unfair, especially if you look at the specifications and features on offer.

Here’s what you get for Rs 27,999 – Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB native storage, AMOLED 6.39inch full HD+ display, and 48-megapixel, 13-megapixel, and 8-megapixel triple rear cameras. Compare this to OnePlus 7 Pro – the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, 6GB of RAM, 128GB storage, 6.67-inch AMOLED QHD screen, and 48-megapixel, 8-megapixel and 16-megapixel cameras. This variant of OnePlus 7 Pro costs Rs 48,999.

There are some differences between Redmi K20 Pro and OnePlus 7 Pro but not major enough to ignore the Rs 21,000 price difference. This means you can buy Redmi K20 Pro and one Redmi Note 7 Pro at OnePlus 7 Pro’s cost.
