Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Review

Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Review: ‘Flagship Killer’ Reimagined

About five years ago, the word “affordable” would not be sung in the same lyric as the words “flagship smartphone.” But, in the contemporary smartphone market, the two adjectives are often married under the umbrella term “affordable flagship.” The phrase, quite explicitly, describes smartphones that look and feel like a flagship but cost way less than a classic flagship. The concept has become a reality thanks to companies like OnePlus and Xiaomi. With the crossover of affordability and premium features, these inexpensive flagships – just like recently launched Redmi K20 Pro – have massive mass appeal and can drive more users than actual premium devices. The smartphone has been launched internationally as the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and its targetted market include Europe.

Redmi has taken a leap into the premium segment, transcending its pedigree of affordable and budget smartphones. Its parent company Xiaomi has moved the earth with its aggressive marketing to fortify claims of the Redmi K20 Pro being an invincible affordable premium flagship. While Xiaomi has launched several flagships in the years gone by, its journey to radicalize premium smartphones began last year with its first “Flagship Killer”, the POCO F1. The Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro carries forward this legacy with a suffix 2.0 following the title.

While its eligibility to carry the Xiaomi’s Flagship Killer bloodline forward after the POCO F1 remains arguable, Xiaomi has pitted its wits against OnePlus in the rapidly surging premium segment. Xiaomi exhibits confidence that the Redmi K20 Pro will wolf down its competitor in the segment; thus, deciding to call the smartphone an “Alpha Flagship.” The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 mobile platform is one of the primary reasons the Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro makes the cut as a powerful smartphone. But unlike the POCO F1, which was a medley of hardcore raw specifications tethered to an unexciting polycarbonate design, the Redmi K20 Pro trumps that premise with a premium and stimulating glass design. This is complemented by an AMOLED display without a notch hindering the symmetry of your device, a selfie camera shuttled by a pop-up mechanism, a camera triad on the back with dedicated sensors for optical zooming and ultra-wide photography aside from the primary 48MP shooter.

With this new and more premium product, Xiaomi enters the territory demarcated by the ₹30,000 price point in India. The Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro is charming and attractive, but if you demand more glitz, there’s a limited edition gold-plated and diamond-studded variant which is nearly 15 times as expensive as the regular K20 Pro.

Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro XDA Forums

I’ve been using the Redmi K20 Pro as my primary device for nearly a month now and have come to form opinions about the aspects that can influence your decision of buying the smartphone.

Note: Xiaomi India loaned us an 8GB/256GB variant of the Redmi K20 Pro and a 27W Turbo Charger for the review.

In terms of specifications, the K20 Pro stands tall and firm, but does it break new grounds in terms of what it delivers? You’ll hopefully have some insight by the end of this review. Let’s start first with the design on the smartphone.

Design

Since the first tease from Xiaomi, the design of the Redmi K20 and the K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro has been very intriguing. To up its premium game, the smartphone gets a glass sandwich design along with Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both sides. Redmi aces the hypnotizing 3D gradient trend on both the Flame Red and the Glacier Blue variants, and this makes the smartphone very attractive and distinctive. Even after gawking at the patterns for literally several minutes in a row, I feel myself being so much in awe of the mesmerizing reflective surface.

The underlying pattern shifts and changes with the incident light

In my first impressions of the Redmi K20 Pro, I talked about the fundamental layout of various elements in the design, so this section will be more critical and revolve around aspects worth admiring as well as being cautious about.

First of all, I cherish how the Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro nestles in the palm, especially considering that I don’t have very big hands. The curvature of the glass back adds to the grip and makes the phone feel slightly lighter, even though it weighs a little over 190 grams. Redmi has added a thin and flexible plastic case within the box for those who prefer covering up fragile phones. Coming to the aspect of fragility, the glass sandwich design may make a few users nervous, even though the K20 Pro doesn’t feel very slippery. For the durability of the glass design, there is Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides and it is likely to put off users expecting the Redmi K20 Pro to feature the latest version of the protective glass. By mistakenly throwing the smartphone in the same pocket as my keys, I have been able to create thick grooves on both the front or the back. So, if you’re already convinced about buying the Redmi K20 Pro, make arrangements for a screen protector along with either a case or a skin for the smartphone.

The display on the Redmi K20 Pro, unlike its back, isn’t as curved and this is something I prize. Based on the comments we received in our first impressions, many individuals seemingly equate curved screens with a premium smartphone and this disposition, in my understanding, is a side-effect of Samsung heaving its premium phone portfolio with curved screens. With the OnePlus 7 Pro, the original flagship killer brand – OnePlus – used this trick to make the smartphone appear more attractive. Personally, however, I prefer the flat display since that not only makes it easier to type on the keys in the outward rows but also makes it easy to use MIUI gestures, especially the back gesture which involves swiping inwards from either of the edges.

The display measures 6.39-inches diagonally and this is the same as the Mi MIX 3, which Max found to be one of Xiaomi’s most premium devices. The Redmi K20 Pro is embarked on a journey to acquire a similar reputation and the display does help it qualify as a premium device with its thin bezels around all the edges resulting in an attractive appearance.

With the Redmi K20 Pro, Xiaomi exhibits its ability to craft beautiful smartphones.

Despite joining the same league as premium smartphones, the Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro retains a headphone jack and this considerate step presents a compelling argument to users who are in a long-term relationship with a particular pair of headphones. In an era when dongles are common, the presence of a 3.5mm jack remains debatable. It is commendable that Redmi has managed to cram a headphone jack in the conveniently slim profile of the Redmi K20 Pro. However, that does come at the expense of an IR blaster, which sadly does not find a place on this smartphone. Additionally, I’ve come to grow an affinity for the lights on both sides of the pop-up selfie camera. This is especially useful when the selfie camera rises for incoming video calls or facial authentication.

Throughout my usage, however, I have come to witness an issue with the selfie camera (thanks to Twitter user F.T.L.O.G. for first bringing this to my notice). Light bounces off the shiny metallic area in front of the pop-up camera cavity and this causes flaring when there’s a strong source of light. In most cases, this flaring is trivial unless the smartphone is held at a certain angle to the light source but it does leave you with the constant anxiety of avoiding it. This isn’t unique to the Redmi K20 Pro and can be witnessed on devices including the Realme X as well and a case that veils the reflective metal part should be able to remedy the problem. This video should help you understand the problem.

Display

Xiaomi’s stride to build a meritorious flagship or at least a flagship killer device commences forth with its choice of display on the Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro. The smartphone uses an AMOLED display made by Samsung. The display gets a peak brightness of 600 nits and supports ~104% of the NTSC color gamut. Notably, this is the same AMOLED panel as the flagship Xiaomi announced earlier this year – the Mi 9 – but the lack of a notch up on the top allows the Redmi flagship to have a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio. Whether or not Xiaomi contrives the Redmi K20 Pro as a successor to the POCO F1 is something we will get to sense later on in the year, but the AMOLED display does add a new component to Xiaomi’s flagship killer DNA. The display comes with rounded corners and unlike the POCO F1, Xiaomi has taken heed of symmetry this time. The display is hemmed in by thin bezels along all four edges, including the slight chin, which is modestly broader than the other three sides. Redmi uses a fancy moniker – “Horizon” display for this screen on the back of the easily avoidable bezels.

In accordance with AMOLED panels, the Redmi K20 Pro’s display has rich contrast and vivid colors. A yellow overtone masks the display but this can be rectified using either the automatic contrast or high contrast options in MIUI’s display settings. Just like other devices running this Android skin, you can alter the color tones to suit yourself. This is not a Super AMOLED display and may feel limited in terms of brightness in comparison with certain other devices. The difference, however, will irk you only when the Redmi K20 Pro is placed side-by-side with another smartphone that features a Super AMOLED display.

With the ongoing concerns about the harmful effects that AMOLED displays might have due to usage in low ambiance, Redmi has added a DC Dimming mode to the K20 Pro. To the naked eyes, DC Dimming increases the brightness a tad bit but it prevents pulsating light beams at low brightness levels from causing any damage to your eyes. Curiously, at low brightness levels, the brightness of the display does not appear to be uniform throughout the panel and there are visible columns of light and dark gray colors while using apps with a Dark theme/mode. Dylan confirms that the issue is venial as it plagues almost every mid-range OLED panels.

Bands caused due to uneven illumination under the panel. The issue is common on mid-range AMOLED displays and is not unique to the Redmi K20 Pro

On the matter of the quality of this display, I ran a few quick tests using the free version of the Display Tester app by Braintrapp.

Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro: The Ultimate Affordable Flagship Experience

The Redmi K20 Pro portrays Xiaomi’s expertise in craftsmanship. Even though beauty is a slippery concept, the K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro will appease your taste buds if you have the palate for stimulating high performance. The symmetric AMOLED display not only brings out rich colors in almost all forms of content but also helps you evade a notch, which I personally have not grown fond of yet. The Redmi K20 is an excellent device by all means and never fails to surprise in any sense. Even though the synthetic benchmarks show that it may not be on par with other devices such as the OnePlus 7 and the Xiaomi Mi 9, its relative affordability and the total of all the exciting features viz. its expansive display, a pop-up selfie camera, triple – and more importantly – useful cameras outweigh any concerns about lagging performance.

Redmi K20 Pro/Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro XDA Forums

In India, Xiaomi appears to be benefiting from the economy of scale. In the last five years of its presence in India, Xiaomi has surpassed Samsung, and now has four major manufacturing hubs in India. This also helps it keep the prices down compared to OnePlus which, as per the last piece of reporting on it, has been using sister company OPPO’s manufacturing plant to assemble its devices.

In the meantime, Xiaomi and Redmi have been working on crazy innovations like a 108MP cameras and 100W fast charging, and these are likely to shape the future of the Killer Flasghsip lineup by the two brands. Presently, the Redmi K20 Pro feels adept, equipped, and well prepared to not only slay competition but also pose a strong opposition to competitors. The Redmi K20 Pro is a good reason for OnePlus to be worried, not only in India and China but also in markets like Europe where the smartphone launches as Mi 9T Pro very soon.

Other color options available in India

In India, the 6GB/128GB variant of the Redmi K20 Pro can be bought for ₹27,999 (~$405) while the 8GB/256GB is available for ₹30,999 (~$450). You can also buy the 27W charger additionally for ₹999 (~$15). The smartphone is available for purchase via Flipkart and Mi.com and you would no longer have to wait for flash sales to buy one. The Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro has also been launched as the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro in the European region.

In Europe, the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro comes in two variants – 6GB/64GB priced at €399 (~$445) while the 6GB/128GB variant comes  €449 ($500).

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Review: The Best Smartphone Under Rs. 10,000?

Xiaomi Redmi 4 is the company's latest model in the sub-Rs. 10,000 segment. Unlike premium smartphones, budget phones seem to have shorter life cycles, and the Redmi series is the perfect example of this. The Xiaomi Redmi 3S (and Redmi 3S Prime) launched in India in August last year, and the company claims that they are the highest selling smartphones in the online segment, having sold four million units in just nine months. Despite this, the all-new Xiaomi Redmi 4 will soon replace the popular Redmi 3S (and Redmi 3S Prime).

Xiaomi has so far seen a string of successes with its Redmi range, with most models finding place in our periodic lists of the best budget phones. This new Xiaomi Redmi 4 will not only have to take on the competition, but also live up to its predecessor in a lot of ways, and it certainly seems like an improvement when it comes to specifications. Let's find out whether the phone is worth your time and money in our Xiaomi Redmi 4 review:

Xiaomi Redmi 4 design

When the Redmi 4 arrived at our office for the first time, we mistook it for a 'Lite' or smaller variant of the Redmi Note 4. You can see plenty of design similarities between the two. Jai Mani, Lead Product Manager at Xiaomi told Gadgets 360 at a pre-launch briefing that the Redmi 4's looks are consciously more in sync with the bigger Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review). The all-metal back of the Redmi 4 is polished and makes this phone look more premium than its predecessor. However, it makes the phone slightly slippery, and we nearly dropped it a couple of times while trying to take photos during the review period.

There has not been much change to the basic Redmi formula. Much like the Redmi 3S, the Redmi 4 features a 5-inch screen. The new model, however, is slightly thicker at 8.65mm and heavier at 150 grams. The Redmi 3S measured 8.5mm and weighed at 144 grams. Overall the increase in thickness or weight doesn't change much for the Redmi 4 as the phone is still quite usable with just one hand, and in fact fits better in the hand than the outgoing model.

We had no problem reaching the Redmi 4 fingerprint sensor at any time. The phone has only one Mi logo on the rear, but there's also a "Designed by Xiaomi / Assembled in India" statement embossed in tiny letters. We like the attention detail, such as a protective ring around the camera lens.

The power and volume buttons are on the right, and are easily accessible when using the phone with just one hand. There is a Micro-USB port for charging and data transfers on the bottom, with grilles on either side, though only one of them is actually a speaker. The 3.5mm audio socket and an Infrared emitter can be found on the top.

Redmi 4's navigation buttons are placed right below the screen but they aren't backlit, which means locating them in the dark is tough.The notification LED is right below the Home button and is bright enough to alert users about incoming notifications. Much like other Redmi smartphones, the new Redmi 4 also has a hybrid dual-SIM tray, which means that you will have to decide whether to use two SIM cards or one SIM along with a microSD card. The Redmi 4 will be available in Champagne Gold and Matte Black, and we received the latter for the review.

You get standard set of documents, a data cable, a power adaptor, and a SIM ejector tool along with the phone itself in the retail box.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 specifications and software

Xiaomi Redmi 4 features a 5-inch HD (720x1280) IPS display with 2.5D curved-edge glass. This seems to be the first time that Xiaomi is using 2.5D glass on a Redmi smartphone priced below Rs. 10,000. There's a non-removable 4100mAh battery which is the same capacity as the Redmi 3S's battery, and is being promoted as one of this phone's highlights. The phone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor clocked at 1.4GHz. There are three variants of the Redmi 4: one with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage; one with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage; and finally 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage. Our review unit had 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The Redmi 4 supports expandable storage using a microSD card (up to 128GB).

You get a 13-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0 aperture, PDAF, and an LED flash. There's also a 5-megapixel front camera with f/2.2 aperture. The new Redmi 4 will support 4G and VoLTE along with other connectivity options. When two SIM cards are used, only the primary one will allow 4G calls and data while the secondary SIM falls back to 2G calls only.

The phone runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, with Xiaomi's MIUI 8.2 skin. This is a stable build which is identical to what we saw on the Redmi Note 4 and Redmi 4A. This means that the Redmi 4 has a lot of software features that we have already seen, including Dual Apps, which lets you create a second instance of any app and supports Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and more. The Quick Ball feature lets users assign shortcuts for features. One-handed mode shrinks the display to one corner of the screen so that everything's easier to reach. The phone also gets a scrolling screenshot feature that will let you take screenshot of an entire Web page. Child Mode lets users lock apps, and Second Space creates a separate profile to help users manage business and personal data on the same device.

This version of MIUI looks cleaner and more polished than previous versions. You can read about the software in more detail in our reviews of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and Xiaomi Redmi 4A.

In keeping with previous Redmi phones, the Redmi 4 also packs lots of preinstalled apps such as Music, Mi Picks, Mi Community, News, Security, Notes, Recorder, and Weather. The Themes app lets users select themes, wallpapers, ringtones, and fonts from a store. There's also a dedicated Mi Store app on the device through which users can buy Xiaomi products and accessories. We believe that the MIUI interface could become lighter with the removal of some of this bloatware, but not all of them can be deleted and they take up valuable storage space on the device. There are also some preinstalled third-party apps including Amazon, PhonePe Wallet, Flipkart, Facebook, and SwiftKey.

Users will get up to 5GB of free Mi Cloud storage when they sign in with a Mi account, which is additional to the 15GB of free cloud storage that's offered by Google with every Gmail sign-in.

We were disappointed to see that the Redmi 4 does not run Android 7.0 Nougat, nor did it support Google Assistant at the time of review. On long-pressing the home button, the Now on Tap feature for context-based searches is triggered. Xiaomi says that the Redmi 4 will receiving an update to Nougat, and we might get Google Assistant before that, but no timeline has been promised by the company.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 camera
The 13-megapixel rear camera is quick at focusing thanks to the phase detection autofocus feature. The camera app also has a face recognition feature that can come in handy. Compared to the Redmi 3S Prime, we found that autofocus on the Redmi 4 was a bit quicker. Camera samples were detailed and sharp, with colours that were vibrant and truly popped. Landscapes had accurate colours for the most part as well as reasonable detail. Macro or close-up shots had a slight haze when seen full-size on a desktop monitor, though the HDR mode helped to some extent.

Unfortunately, turning HDR mode on made image capturing and processing really slow, and this is one of our biggest complaints with the device. With HDR on, users need to be steady for a few seconds to get a good shot, or else photos come out looking awful.

The rear camera has a tendency to capture a lot of noise when there is no direct light source. Some camera sample shots taken in the dark were very poorly defined and had too much motion blur. At night, the Redmi 4 managed to take good photos only when we were close to the subject under a light source such as a streetlamp.

Tap to see full-sized Xiaomi Redmi 4 camera samples

The Redmi 4's camera app is minimalistic and easy to use, with controls for various settings and features occupying only a small part of the screen. HDR mode is just a tap away, as are the live filters. The phone can record video at 720p and 1080p, and the videos came out decent overall.

Selfies on the Redmi 4 can be an issue if you want a candid one, again because image processing is slow. We ended up with a slew of blurred selfies just because we wanted to take one quickly. Other than this issue, our sample photos taken in good light had a good amount of detail and decent colour tone. In low light, we had a tough time, and faces came out looking too grainy.

Overall, the Xiaomi Redmi 4's cameras are definitely an improvement over those of the Redmi 3S Prime (Review), in terms of focusing and results. There are few issues like poor low-light shots and slow processing in HDR mode, which we hope can be fixed - or at least improved upon - with updates.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 performance

General performance of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 is decent, and the device handled most tasks well. The MIUI interface at times felt sluggish, but this doesn't affect performance within apps such as when playing games such as Asphalt 8 and Cut the Rope 2. We had no major concerns during the entire review period. There was also no noticeable overheating.

Our unit had 3GB of RAM, and there was roughly 1.2GB free at any given time, which means those on the 2GB RAM variant of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 might struggle with multi-tasking on their units. Despite roughly 1GB of free memory on our unit, we didn't have to deal with any crashes or slowdowns, but we would recommend opting for the variant with 4GB of RAM if you can spend a little more.

Voice call quality was decent, and the phone supports VoLTE. The phone doesn't ship with a headset, so we checked the sound quality using our own earphones, and were quite impressed. You get several options to tweak music with the Mi Sound Enhancer feature when using earphones. The Redmi 4 was also able to play our assortment of test videos with ease.

The 5-inch IPS display is bright and text appears sharp. The screen is crisp with decent viewing angles. However, this isn't the best HD display we've seen on a Redmi phone. Colour reproduction is decent, but in our opinion, the Redmi 3S was better. The screen was readable and usable under direct sunlight. Movies and games look good on the 5-inch display, though some might prefer a bigger screen. There's a Reading mode on the device that reduces background glare. Users can manually control colours and saturation on the device through the Settings app.

The Xiaomi Redmi 4 scored 43,677 in AnTuTu and 22,996 in Quadrant. We also ran 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme and GFXBench, where the phone scored 5,890 points and 25fps respectively. These scores are on par with those of other phones powered by the Snapdragon 430 processor.

The Redmi 4 lasted for 14 hours and 20 minutes in our HD video loop test, which is impressive. We can partly credit the battery loop test performance to the low-impact HD screen resolution. With regular use, the battery lasted over a day. There are also power saving modes to help squeeze more life out of each charge. The phone doesn't come with a fast charging adapter but Xiaomi's Jai Mani told us that it does support fast charging. We can expect Xiaomi to sell a fast charging adapter for the Redmi 4 as an optional accessory, or you could buy a third-party one.

Verdict
In the past, Xiaomi's Redmi models have set the standard for other phones in the same price segment, and have also showed just how much a budget smartphone can be capable of. The same holds true for the all-new Redmi 4. Xiaomi's latest entry in the Redmi range manages to tick all the right boxes when it comes to performance, battery life, and design. Camera quality is one aspect of performance that this phone lacks in, but then again we can't expect too much at these prices.

The Xiaomi Redmi 4 will replace the Redmi 3S (and Redmi 3S Prime) over time, and will become the company's main offering in the sub-Rs. 10,000 space. It has launched at Rs. 6,999 for 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage; Rs. 8,999 for 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage; and Rs. 10,999 for 4GB RAM of and 64GB of storage. Considering that the middle version, which we reviewed, had roughly 1.2GB of memory free at any time, we would recommend that people to go for the slightly more expensive one if they can. The Redmi 4 goes up against the Samsung Galaxy J2 (2016), Lenovo K6 Power (Review), and Oppo A37, but its biggest challenger might be Xiaomi's own Redmi Note 4 which offers a better SoC, a bigger screen, and an improved set of cameras.

One big factor that remains is availability of these phones. Previous models including the Redmi 3S (Redmi 3S Prime), Redmi 4A and Redmi Note 4 have been very hard to find in stock despite being listed on Flipkart and the company's own Mi online store.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 First Sale in India Sees 250,000 Units Sold in 8 Minutes

 Redmi Note 4 and Redmi 4A, the all-new Redmi 4 has also seen tremendous response in its first sale in India. Xiaomi India has announced that 250,000 units of the Redmi 4(Review) were sold out in eight minutes.

The Chinese company in a tweetreminded that the 250,000 units at first sale milestone was crossed by the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review) and the Redmi 4A (Review). The Redmi Note 4, which went on sale in January, also saw 250,000 units being sold in 10 minutes in the smartphone's first sale in the country. The Redmi 4A, on the other hand, saw 250,000 units sold in March within 4 minutes.

Out of the three Redmi smartphones, the Xiaomi Redmi 4A saw its stocks going out of stock in the quickest time while Redmi 4 and Redmi Note 4 followed closely. The next Xiaomi Redmi 4 sale will happen on May 30.

To refresh on prices and variants of the Redmi 4, the phone has been launched in three memory/ storage variants in India, however, only the lower two went on sale via Amazon India this week. The 2GB RAM/ 16GB storage variant has been priced at Rs. 6,999, the 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage variant has been priced at Rs. 8,999, while the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage is priced at Rs. 10,999.The biggest highlight of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 is its metal body and a fingerprint scanner at the back panel. It also packs an upgraded Snapdragon 435 processor over its predecessor, the Redmi 3S. Xiaomi India at the local launch promised that a special beta preview of Android Nougat-based MIUI will be available released for the Redmi 4 users.
