While the Redmi K20 Pro has only been in the market for few months, the manufacturer decided to give the smartphone an upgrade with the new Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium. The biggest upgrade is the newer Snapdragon 855+ chipset which promises up to 15% better performance in the GPU department compared to the Snapdragon 855 used in the regular Redmi K20 Pro.
Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium Features
Another new addition the Redmi K20 Pro Premium has is the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage configuration which also comes with an exclusive finish similar to what we saw with the Redmi K20 Pro Avengers Edition. The new phone will also ship with MIUI 11 out of the box and will offer a refined cooling system for better thermal management.
The rest specs of the K20 Pro Premium are identical to the vanilla K20 Pro with a 6.39 inch AMOLED display and 20MP pop-up camera upfront. The rear panel houses the triple camera array with a 48MP primary shooter, 8MP telephoto lens and 13MP ultrawide module. The phone comes with a 4000mAh battery which has support for 27W fast charging.
