Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro: Snapdragon 855 processor, 48-megapixel camera, UD fingerprint scanner

After running around the rumor mill for a couple of weeks, the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro was finally made official.

This is the first flagship device under Xiaomi’s sub-brand. The Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro will feature a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, with a water cooling system for better heat dissipation.

It will also have the usual flagship features like a 6.39-inch FHD+ OLED screen with an in-display fingerprint scanner. The all-screen, bezel-less display was made possible by its 20-megapixel pop-up selfie camera.

There’s also a 48-megapixel Sony IMX 586 primary camera on the back. It’s paired by a 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle snapper and an 8-megapixel sensor with a telephoto lens.

The K20 Pro will come with a 4,000mAh battery with a fast 27W wires charger. You can get at unique back panel designs that are available in Flame Red, Glacier Blue, and Carbon Black.
