How excited are you for the upcoming Valentine’s? Well, Xiaomi is certainly making it one for the Nepalese smartphone consumers. How? If you are to gift a great smartphone to your loved ones up to the coming valentine’s day, 14th February to be specific, the Redmi K20 Pro would definitely be a great pick. And of course, you can gift it to yourself as well.
The reason, we are calling it a great pick is that the Redmi K20 Pro remains a value for money smartphone in the price segment it targets for.
Let’s now first take a quick recap of the device.
Redmi K20 Pro Overview
The Redmi K20 Pro considerably stands true to Xiaomi’s DNA of providing killer hardware for fraction of a price. It powers upon a powerful Snapdragon 855 SoC alongside a 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage, also expandable via microSD card thereby assuring a smooth performance while multitasking and gaming. The handset also brings a Game Turbo 2.0 on the table that handles your task thereby providing more resources in the device for gaming. Moreover, the Game Turbo 2.0 can make use of a smart switch from WiFi to 4G ensuring lag-free effortless connectivity.
Onto the front of the K20 Pro is a seamless 6.39-inch Full HD+ OLED display with an aspect ratio that numbers to 19.5:9. And thanks to the hidden pop-up camera, the front of the phone looks clean with virtually no bezels. While underneath the display is an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Again, the pop-up camera mechanism hides a 20MP selfie shooter, which comes with AI capabilities. As for the rear, the phone carries a normal 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor alongside a 13MP ultra-wide sensor and an 8MP telephoto sensor.
