The two phones also share a similar triple rear camera setup, featuring a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide snapper (124.8 degree FOV), and an 8MP 2x telephoto shooter. However, the Pro variant uses the Sony IMX586 48MP sensor, while the standard model offers the IMX582 sensor. It's reported that the IMX582 sensor doesn't support 4K/60fps video recording like the IMX586.
Keen to get your hands on a Redmi K20 or K20 Pro? The Pro variant starts at 27,999 rupees (~$407) for the 6GB/128GB model, and 30,999 rupees (~$451) for the 8GB/256GB version. Meanwhile, the standard K20 starts at 21,999 rupees (~$320) for the 6GB/64GB variant, and 23,999 rupees (~$349) for the 6GB/128GB option. The phones will be available via the Mi India website, Mi Home stores, as well as Flipkart from July 22 at midday.
The firm is also selling the 27 watt charger for the Redmi K20 Pro separately, and it'll set you back 999 rupees (~$15). You can also grab a red, blue, or black case for 499 rupees (~$7).
Xiaomi held a so-called Alpha Sale earlier this month, with users guaranteed access to the device if they put down an 855 rupee (~$12) deposit. Missed out on this reservation promotion? Then you'll just have to be quick on the draw if you want to secure a device.
The Redmi K20 series Indian launch also comes as the Realme X hits the market. The Realme device starts at 16,999 rupees (~$245) for the 4GB/128GB model, and offers a Snapdragon 710 chipset, 16MP pop-up selfie camera, OLED screen with in-display fingerprint sensor, and a 48MP+5MP rear camera combo.
