While the Redmi K20 Pro has only been out for a few
months, the company decided to give the phone an upgrade with the new K20 Pro
Premium. The biggest change is the newer Snapdragon 855+ chipset which promises
up to 15% better performance in the GPU department compared to the Snapdragon
855 used in the regular K20 Pro.
Another new addition is the 12GB RAM and 512 GB
storage configuration which also comes with an exclusive finish similar to what
we saw with the Avengers edition Redmi K20 Pro. The phone will also ship with
MIUI 11 out of the box and will offer a refined cooling system for better
thermal management.
The rest of the specs are identical to the vanilla
K20 Pro with a 6.39-inch AMOLED display and 20MP pop-up camera upfront. The
back houses the triple camera array with a 48MP primary shooter, 8MP telephoto
lens and 13 MP ultrawide module. The battery is 4,000 mAh and supports 27W fast
charging.
The Redmi K20 Pro Premium starts at CNY 2,699 (US$ 380)
for the 8 GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration. The 8/512 GB model will go
for CNY 2,999 (US$ 422) while the top spec’d 12GB RAM and 512 GB storage version
will set buyers back CNY 3,199 (US$ 450). The phone will be available for purchase
starting September 23.
