Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium - User Reviews

  • What about iPhone?

  • hi, i will try to make it short as possible. highlights for reaalme x2 po vs redmi k20 pro 1. ufs 3.0 vs 2.1 - google search says 3.0 is twice faster than 2.1, but i watched a video comparison of 2 phones with 3.0 and 2.1, there's not much difference in loading the apps/games. 2. 12gb/256gb storage vs 12gb/512gb... as long as they have the same ram, just ignore the storage that much. my previous phone has 128gb. and i have only consumed 50% after 1 year. 3. fast charging. 50w - full charge at 35 mins. vs 27w full charge at 1 hour. although realmi has the edge here, but this 1 hour charging is good enough in my daily life 4. camera - i just ignore this one. they're already both great, clear, crisp. don't watch too much photo comparison of phones. you are just confusing yourself with senseless x2 zoomed photo reviews they are making in youtube. 5. 90Hz screen refresh rate vs the default 60Hz. I checked in google, it says it's not noticeable to the normal people unless your this tech nerd hungry for specs. 6. Notch vs POPup camera. the bad side of notch is the notch itself. but you can use the face recognition unlock system freely if you're into it. and there is a notch blocking the screen, but you can adjust to it as times goes. the bad side of pop up camera is the pop up camera itself. the thought of dropping the phone make me cringe. but there is a feature called freefall, the pop up will close automatically while on drop to prevent damage (i hope that works when that happens). lastly, i need to disable the face unlock. i don't like seeing the camera poppin up everytime the screen turns on. and when it inside my pocket! personal experience for redmi k20 pro so far. UI is great, it's smooth, my gaming experience is great. The whole screen display is what i like the most. i find the notch and screen hole irritating. one more thing that brought me to the decision of buying the k20 pro is the watch - xiaomi mi band 4. It Maximizes what the phone can offer. in the past weeks, i already received a couple of app updates from xiaomi, makes me feel that my phone is alive and kicking aftersales. recommendation: if realme x2 pro price is lower or same with k20 premium. Go for realme x2 pro because of those pumped up features. (ufs 3.0, 90hz, 50w charging). but personal choice, i'd still prefer k20 pro premium, i'm happy with it.

  • Hi, i'm not playing pubg so i can't tell you about the experience/heat issue regarding this. I only play mobile legends at max settings and it's smooth, i don't have heat issues playing for 4-6 hours straight. but mobile legends i think is a lot less demanding game than Pubg. additional note to consider: i'm using the phone with the case included in the box. it's rubber type. i didn't feel any heat with the case.. but i did try a few days ago to touch the whole screen with my palm, hmm a little hot but i'm sure it's not in the range of 40 to 50.

  • How about the heating issue? I've seen some reviews in yt that it goes really hot like 45-50+ degrees, can you please confirm? Did you already try to play pubg with max settings for hours? Can you please tell us your honest experience? Thanks in advance.

  • May I know about the heating issue? or is there only a percentage to have the defect ones? And can you help me choose between k20 pro premium and realme x2 pro.. Thanks!

  • Why does Note 10 use a heatpipe? But Xiaomi doesn't ?? Maybe if Note 10 doesn't use Heatpipe, the heat might be like Xiaomi

  • How is the heat issue ? I read that it can go crazy to the point it is too hot like 40-50 degrees celcius. Why Xiaomi ALWAYS includes a negative that gives a NO to buy the other phone has no 3.5mm jack, this one has all, but bonus heat issue wtf.

  • its useless to buy expensive phone, imo get the cheapest phone with the best spec like this one. Can last quite long before needing a new phone.

  • Thank you so much brother

  • If you just have enough money to spare, buy the xiaomi mi 9 pro. But if you want the best phone but on a budget.. K20 pro premium is for you. I bought the k20 pro premium for the following reasons. 855+, 12gb ram, 512GB storage. Although this phone doesn't have IOS, but in my day to day life taking photos, it's not that much of an issue, Gaming focused with 4000 mah battery. I played mobile legends from 100% down to 20% for 6.5 hours at max options. Charges from 20% to 100% in 1 hour NFC - I use android payment (madapay app) a lot at restaurants so i don't need to bring my cards anymore. in comparison to Mi 9 pro wireless charging is a plus. (but i don't need) 40W fast charger!!! (i checked at youtube and xiaomi mi 9 pro(40W) charges only 8 mins faster than k20 pro premium(27W)) Teardrop notch - might be preferred by others compared to pop up camera that might get damaged anytime. I disabled face unlock on my k20 pro, i don't like the idea that it might accidentally pop up in my pocket, but the whole screen in my k20 gives me the best experience. 5G option. (i don't need, i don't see 5G signal coming in my area in the next 3 years so why bother waste that money.)

  • Thank you brother i appreciate you

  • Which is better comparing overall performance between Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium edition and Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro? I am too much confused about which one I should buy. Let me know all of your experiences and suggest me best one between this or any other within this range. Thanks

  • Yes u can install play store

  • I want to buy that phone and iam from Egypt We want it to work in egypt Xiaomi Redmi k20 Pro Premium 512GB , 12 Ram

  • Dear friends, anyone give solution about Chinese rom and Global Rom, why I am asking this model available AliExpress, but I am confused, if I buy Chinese rom I can download and install play store?. Original Chinese version the they install Google rom that's why little confused, please give me good solution

  • I am from IRAN and i have it i buy from china if the pop up camera keep work for 5 or 6 years its the best value phone in the world the internal storage speed is good the connctivity is stable and good very fast phone even when you disable animations another thing something that youtube videos cant tell you trust me the build quality is high

  • It's not going to have lower price trust me

  • Dear brother What about Chinese version? If i will buy Chinese version i can download and install play store?

  • Not just you wish, we all wish it could sell to oversea. It is due to network compatibility, global rom development, some regulation on some region country that makes it not price competitive when sold globally. I think the alternative to cheaper price but not budget priced smartphone would be Oneplus 7T Pro, but at some region, Oneplus is actually same priced as Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and Huawei Mate 30 Pro, or just a little bit cheaper than actual flagship smartphone. Depend on luck if you really can get one. Or else, just can rely on grey import, just like my country, where grey imported Xiaomi smartphone is cheaper than their global version on actual presence.

  • Please, sell this beast on oversea. I baging you....

  • the diff between K20 pro and K20 Pro Premium is the processor (CPU) and graphics ( GPU) speed. that is it ! if you play game it may better you get premium ( only 10% to 15% ) faster but for daily task it is noting !

  • Who has cross flashed Official fastboot ROM of K20 Pro to K20 Pro Premium Edition? If yes, successful?

  • Don't think this phone will be launched globally for every part of the world. Xiaomi is this one Chinese company that never properly cater for global market. This is also why their phone are cheap. This is because their revenue comes from selling ads, which mostly works on China only. The proper global version of this phone is Mi9T, which only up to 128GB. Without memory expansion slot or not, Xiaomi has been known for more than 8 years to exclude memory expansion slot on their flagship smartphone, which is part of the cut cost act. They only include memory expansion for their entry level Redmi series, which is of much different price range. Same with Oneplus brand that never include memory expansion slot. We all know that nobody complain on memory expansion slot, but it is the fruit company that started this trend, followed by Google own Nexus and Pixel series.

  • What's the difference between K20 Pro & K20 Pro premium?

  • 512gb rom 12gb ram

  • Hello Which Xiaomi.EU Rom did you flash excactly ? The one from Redmi K20 Pro ?

  • You can just buy it in Aliexpress then flash xiaomi.eu rom. I own the device and flashed xiaomi.eu rom and all is good.

  • This phone is insane... But I prefer to wait a little longer for the Redmi K30 Pro. It will be surely much better than this phone, but at lower price.

  • bought mine at aliexpress, still waiting to receive

  • Any news if this will come to Europe? I have a phone with 1 speaker for nearly 2 years and the sound is good so I don't care much about k20 pro premium not having 2 speakers and there's even an audio jack with dac if I'm not wrong! Second problem is how there's no SD card but the premium model has lots of space and with usb on the go you can connect an external HD or maybe even a SD card so there goes one more problem. Which brings me back to my original question and the worst problem for me, IS IT COMING TO EUROPE???

  • 5g? you are looking at the wrong phone, check xiaomi mi 9 pro

  • Bruh are you kidding me. Did you not even read what I said before. I guarantee you, along with literally everyone else in the world, don't have perfectly stable, gimbal-like hands. There's a reason people who care about their footage don't just carry around their camera by itself.

  • No B20?

  • It was 2 weeks~ from now that my Lock Screen wallpaper changed himself randomly, I can't update Chrome from play store and had to wait something likes 1/2 days after the update pop-up... same on my Mi Mix 3 and Redmi Note 5..

  • I said most people hands are shaking and because people are clumsy they cant hold device like on a stand when taing a photo. So instead of OIS a stand would do.

  • Could you say that again but in legible English. (If you don't know what I mean try saying it out loud)

  • it is precious thing it is dramatically high performance

  • Man for that case every a bit better shop selling camera stands. Becausue people have clumsy shaking hands.

  • LTE Band specs are here: 4G: LTE FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8 LTE TDD: B34/B38/B39/B40/B41 Note: LTE B41 (2535 – 2655 120MHz)

  • Bruh look up a comparison. Quit comparing it to things you literally cannot compare it to. OIS isn't useless at all in the slightest. It dramatically improves stabilization, and has no downsides at all. I guarantee you, along with literally everyone else in the world, don't have perfectly stable, gimbal-like hands. There's a reason people who care about their footage don't just carry around their camera by itself.

  • Ah wait I thought the original comment said the 7 Pro, not the 7, my bad.

  • My 64Gb + 128Gb phone says otherwise, its at 70% capacity. I like saving stuff offline (TV shows/Music/Manga/etc) so i can read it while traveling or just in places that dont have wifi. Micro SDs are slower than internal memory but are good enough to save tons of media without crippling the performance.

  • Band 28 does it have?

  • Wait, what? I'm lost right now...

  • if im going to take one of the none sd card and pop up cam competition ill go for 1+ one plus...

  • dude cloud my a ss... SD card is useful and fk pop up cam...

  • Ok dude I agree with a lot of what you're saying but no OIS is nowhere near a gimmick. It helps a lot with stabilization. EIS doesn't reduce blur and it lowers the quality.

  • Wow congrats on restating my point. I don't recall asking you to do that.

  • Then make your own phone dude. 20 Mpix motorized module is great enough. Noone is interested in your tears. You are weird dude.

  • In world of cloud storage the SD slot is really pointless.

  • That much more expensive is by 20-30 bucks still cst less than 500.

  • Like on a 6 inch screen anyone can spot differences. Its same like having 4K display on a 6 inch screen. Just waste of money. matter of papers but in real life usage noone sees difference between FHD and 4K

  • Like you cant use cloud storage and like 512GB in phone is not enough you are funny. OIS is also just a gimmick which cost more. And stereo for what??? Tons of people use earphones or earplugs for that case it will be like having a stereo.

  • Why they remove sdcard slot. I'll definitely buy this to replace my redmi note 5 ai if this thing have sdcard slot... Now i have to wait between redmi note 8 pro or Realme X2

  • No one knows right now

  • This dude has a really weird way of talking.

  • Both the Redmi K20 Pro and OnePlus 7 cost around 400 Euros on AliExpress for the 256 GB...

  • Ridmi k20pro primeum.8gb ram 128 gb rom variant. indian price.Or gsmarena best phone why k20pro vs k20pro primeum good?

  • System built-in recorder of pocophone F1 is missing out in Redmi K20 Pro.

  • Sadly, the system built-in recorder of pocophone is missing out in Redmi K20 Pro!

  • And a $669 price tag.

  • lol,,, Yeah I agree with you best phone is why,,,

  • Any adds in Redmi k20 pro

  • does it have lte band 28 sir?

  • I just bought this phone today and I'm in love with it!

  • Ridmi k20pro primeum.vs. lenovo z6pro 5g.vs.maeju 16s pro,why batter?Best phone why?

  • it's a shame there's no infra red

  • Even ois would be fine my point is it already deliveres great specs so i don't see a reason why not

  • just only cpu diference is not expected ... :( battery should 4500 ...... when cpu is high so also a powerfull battery is nedded

  • if you max out everything, you will see in pubg too.

  • will be announced also xiaomi Mi9T pro premium?

  • Maybe we'll be getting K20 Pro Premium Plus, K20 Pro Premium Ultra, K20 Pro Premium Ultimate Super Advance...hahahahahaha

  • If you play PUBG, you wont feel the difference between SD855, 855+ and 730. But in emulators like DamonPS2, PPSSPP, Citra, Dolphin, it's "Night" and "Day"!

  • Flagship killer is alive .

  • Don't waste time to hold your breath, confirmed no micro sd card, this is exact same phone like K20 pro or Mi9T Pro, in fact Xiaomi never had a flagship with micro SD slot since Mi2, Mi3, Mi4, Mi5, Mi6, Mi8 & Mi9 none of this had a micro sd slot.

  • You must be new at using xiaomi. Xiaomi was ditching microSD since Mi3. It's not current trend.

  • But same old pathetic selfie camera... what's premium about it!!

  • Yeah I agree instead of long naming scheme why not just skip the PRO part as Redmi K20 Premium sounds much nicer and Premium would mean your buying the current top tech that Xiaomi can provide.

  • so this phone is called: "Redmi K20 Pro Premium" - what a tongue twister

  • Why do the names of colors have inconsistent lettercases? The new color is called 'Armor Black'. Also, Summer Honey and Pearl White aren't two different colors.

  • So sad not a global rom phone.

  • Then buy Mi 9 or Mi Mix 3

  • On the current trend it looks like Xiaomi's trying to kill the MicroSD slot for the phones that have higher specs, so I'm not holding my breath to see if this DOES have a microSD slot, especially if this is just a rebranded Avengers Exclusive edition phone.

  • nope, thats for 128/8 the 512/12 is much more expensive

  • Although device is going to be perfect but only one thing is lacking 90hz display....if it has it it will be unbeatable....

  • You could get the OnePlus 7, but it has a notch, smaller battery, and no 3.5mm jack, keep that in mind.

  • Put the SD 855+ in a bionic robot body and make it work for you. :)

  • Ah right and I want it to pay my god damn taxes.

  • it gives you ALL OF THOSE insane features for only 450$ and you still want more? :| Maybe you'll get your desirable package in Redmi K30... But not for now.

  • 12/512 for 450 bucks...

  • I wish it had stereo speaker, dedicated sd slot and ois.

  • Gosh! sd855+, 12/512, and only 2999cny(422usd) with coupon redemption. Beat that!
