The much-awaited announcement from Xiaomi India is finally here. Xiaomi Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro smartphones will be reaching the Indian market within six weeks from today. And yes, Xiaomi will be bringing both the phones under the Redmi sub-brand itself, so the Poco F2 will be a different smartphone altogether. To recall, Redmi, the independent brand in China unveiled the Redmi K20 mid-range smartphone and Redmi K20 Pro flagship smartphone last week at incredible prices. The Redmi K20 Pro will be a tough competitor to the OnePlus 7, which will be up for sale in India from tomorrow at a starting price of Rs 32,999. Most likely, the Redmi K20 Pro will retail for less than Rs 25,000 in the sub-continent as the Chinese price of the smartphone is 2499 Yuan (approx. Rs 25,186) for the base variant.

Xiaomi Reveals Redmi K20 Series Launch Date in India
Right after the launch of OnePlus 7 series in India, Xiaomi India officials took to Twitter stating that the ‘Flagship Killer 2.0’ is arriving soon. Everyone expected that the company would bring the Redmi K20 as Poco F2 to the Indian market, but that’s not the case as Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the phones will be called as Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in the Indian market as well. Going by the current leaks on the web, the Redmi K20 will be available as Mi 9T while the Redmi K20 Pro could be launched as Mi 9T Pro in western markets.
