has been teasing the Redmi K20 for quite some time now. Expected to be
launched in two variants - Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro - the
smartphone's Pro variant is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon
855 SoC and is terms as the Flagship Killer 2.0 by Xiaomi. When the
product launches, it is expected to take on the OnePlus 7 which for
recently launched at an aggressive price of Rs. 32,999. This new Xiaomi
flagship has been in the news since the Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar
Jain first tweeted about this Flagship Killer, confirming that the
product will make its way to India. Now, the Redmi K20 Pro price has
been tipped, a new render of the Redmi K20 has been leaked, and the
company has teased powerful loudspeaker.
Ahead of its official launch in China, Redmi is dropping teasers on its Weibo page revealing more details about the upcoming Redmi K20.
In the latest teaser the company has revealed that the K20 sports an
ultra-linear speaker in a big 0.9cc physical cavity. Redmi General
Manager Lu Weibing also mentions that this setup makes the K20 very loud and that the effect is ‘very outstanding' when playing games.
Some of the recent teasers also reveal that the Redmi K20 will feature Game Turbo 2.0. This will be an update to Game Turbo which recently debuted on the Poco F1
through a new MIUI Global Beta update. Also this feature is claimed to
enhance the gaming experience on the smartphone. Redmi General Manager
Lu Weibing also revealed that the K20 will have the DC Dimming feature just like the OnePlus 7 Pro
which is aimed to control screen brightness using DC voltage. This
helps reduce the flickering effect of the display panel and is a
replacement to the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology.
Weibing also revealed
that the K20 will sport a 3.5mm headphone jack and come with support
for Hi-Res audio. The smartphone is also touted to deliver an advanced
audio experience through Mi Sound proprietary amplification technology.
