Overview
Regarding the Screen of the devices, K20 pro and K20 have 6.39 inch AMOLED FHD+ Full-view screen without any notch. The motorized pop-up camera enables the full view display with minimum bezels and without a notch. The Unique selling point of the Redmi K20 device is the full view display, as provided by the pop-up camera. They have a 91.9% screen-to-body ratio which Xiaomi says one of the highest in the industry.
The screen has nice brightness and sharp color reproduction. Gorilla Glass 5 protects the device in both the front and back. The back surface of the phone is equipped with Aura prism finish with peculiar Gradient. The gradient for particular color flames towards the black center which is only accurately visible indoors.
The metal frame along with the glass body makes the phone feel premium and also comfy to hold. The phone also supports the in-display fingerprint sensor which is better than the face unlocks or others. This security feature will also be prevalent for some years for the premium phones until a new one develops.
Camera
Regarding the camera, both the phones have tripe rear camera setup with 48 MP main sensor. Other sensors in the phone are 13 MP ultra-wide (124-degree view) lens and 8 MP telephoto (2X) lens. The rear camera also has 960 fps slow-motion video capability. Although the specs for the rear camera are the same for both phones, K20 Pro has an IMX586 sensor (same as that of OnePlus 7 Pro and Mi A3) Whereas K20 has an IMX582 sensor. The rear camera also supports PDAF/ Laser AF, Dual LED flash and HDR.
Redmi K20 pro has a pop-up camera for selfies of 20 MP resolution. After selecting the selfie from camera UI, the front camera pops up from the top of the phone with LED lights on it. With the test, the pulsating notification LED on top of the pop-up camera mechanism works at least 300,000 times. The LED along with a stylish halo ring around the camera module has a good aesthetic value. The resolution of the front camera is 20 MP, f/2.2 with HDR, AI, portrait mode, and beauty filter.
Regarding the video, Redmi K20 phones support slo-mo video in 960 fps and 4K video recording capability. The dedicated night mode uses a special photographic algorithm for low light situations.
Battery
The phone not only packs all the heavy specs but also sports 4000 mAH battery and 27W charging. The heavy battery makes the phone last longer even with heavy usage. As per some review, the phone has a SOT of 6.5 to 7 hrs which is quite great. The huge battery is also the reason for the heavyweight of the phone. Although the phone supports 27W SonicCharge, it is not available in the box which has an 18W charge inside. So you have to buy a 27W charger from outside.
Audio
A high-res DAC gives Redmi K20 Pro the ability to playback lossless audio (up to 24-bit, 192KHz), while
dual GPS antennas ensure pinpoint GPS accuracy.
Both the phones do not have Audio-jack while the data connectivity to the computer is done through the USB Type-C connector.
