introduction
Xiaomi’s Pocophone F1 broke all the rules of the smartphone market and pretty much redefined the term Flagship Killer. But it’s been over a year now and a Pocophone sequel is still nowhere to be found. What if we let you know that not only has one been revealed, but that it’s already on sale? Get ready to meet the spiritual Pocophone successor – the Redmi K20 Pro, also known as Mi 9T Pro.
Available outside of India as the Mi 9T, the Redmi K20 phones really feel and look like flagships. We have already tested the regular K20/Mi 9T version and it performed spectacularly. It had the screen, camera, battery and connectivity of a flagship, but there was one spot with room for improvement – performance. And this is where the Pro model swaps out the Snapdragon 730 for the flagship Snapdragon 855 chip.
Thus, the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro has a 6.39-inch Super AMOLED screen without a notch, shielded by a Gorilla Glass 5. The 20-megapixel selfie camera is hidden on top of a motorized pop-up module – a common solution to the notch problem these days. On the back, then, is a triple camera setup that beats all of our testing with its 48MP f/1.8 primary lens, an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto lens, and a 13MP f/2.4 -Ultrawide layout excelled in all of our tests.
A premium set of features indeed, but what really elevates the K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro’s flagship status is the Snapdragon 855 chip inside, which not only adds excellent value to an already great package, but that Redmi K20 Pro also makes one, if not the cheapest Snapdragon 855 smartphone on the market. And that’s what the Pocophone was all about, wasn’t it?
But wait, there’s more. Indeed, the Redmi K20 Pro and Mi 9T Pro are super affordable phones with cutting-edge features, but if you need further proof that they are the spiritual successors of the famous Pocophone, look no further than the launcher. The Redmi K20 Pro runs on the latest Poco Launcher 2, based on MIUI 10 with Android Pie Core. Already convinced?

We have to admit that there is one feature we’ll be missing from the K20 Pro and Mi 9T Pro, and that’s the stereo speakers. But given the eye-watering price point and this premium range of features, we’ll be fine without the earbud acting as a tweeter.
Unboxing the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro
The K20 Pro is packaged in a sleek black box with a purple back imprinted with a Godzilla-like monster. This is one of the few boxes where we had to wait a bit and enjoy the view before peeling the packaging off.
Inside this cool box is the Redmi K20 Pro, an 18W charger and a USB-C cable.
There’s a paper compartment, which also includes a thin plastic sleeve for added protection, although it detracts from the phone’s dazzling looks.
