Redmi K20 specification and software
The specifications of Redmi K20 at the starting price of Rs 21,999 are quite impressive. Redmi K20 hardware is similar to the company’s Redmi K20 Pro but there are only two major differences. The Redmi K20 Pro has Snapdragon 855 processor and 48 megapixel Sony IMX 586 sensor while the Redmi K20 has Snapdragon 730 chipset with 48 megapixel Sony IMX 582 sensor used.
The difference between the two sensors is that the Sony IMX 586 sensor can record 4K video at 60 frames per second. While the Sony IMX 582 is only capable of recording videos at 30 frames per second. The Snapdragon 730 processor does not support 4K video encoding at 60 frames per second anyway.
There is a 6.39-inch HDR Amolade Full-HD + (1080x2340 pixels) display in the 20-dimensional smartphone of Dual-SIM (Nano). Its aspect ratio is 19.5: 9 and screen-to-body ratio is 91.9. Its pixel density is 403 pixels per inch.
Redmi K20 has two variants of 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage and another with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. The thing to note is that it will not be possible to increase the storage with the help of the Micro SD card. This phone of the Redmi brand has three rear cameras, A 48 megapixel primary camera which is equipped with the Sony IMX 582 sensor and its aperture is F / 1.75. The 8-megapixel secondary camera with a telephoto lens, whose aperture is F / 2.4 and a 13-megapixel camera, with wide-angle lens, whose field off view is 124.8 degrees. A 20-megapixel pop-up selfie camera with an aperture F / 2.2 for selfie and video calling has been given.
Apart from this, you will get night mode, 48 megapixel modes, lighting effect, and beauty filter in the phone. The battery of 4,000 mAh battery, which is equipped with 18W Fast Charging support.
Redmi’s 6.3 has a 6.39-inch Amoled display, and especially when the dark mode of the MUI is enabled. Colors look right and viewing angles are also good. The display provides maximum brightness of 600 nits. There is no problem in reading on display in sunlight and the contrast level is excellent in this price segment.
The full-screen display looks good and the camera is not like a hole or a knock, it looks good to see the content on the display. If you want you can adjust color temperature and contrast according to your choice. Apart from this, users can also set the brightness and temperature of Night mode independently.
We saw PUBG Mobile playing on high graphics settings, so we did not have any problem with frame drop nor slowing down the phone. Xiaomi has given many work features in the phone and the game Turbo 2.0 tool helps boost speed.
In PubG Mobile, for example, players can adjust the touch response and screen sensitivity. In the game’s advanced settings of the game booster app, there will be a feature named Enhanced Visual. With the help of this feature, users can choose from Original, Moderate, Strong, and Extreme Visual Presets.
The game booster also provides the Quick Settings panel which can be accessed by swiping from the top left corner of the screen. It shows statistics of CPU and GPU usage and provides nifty shortcuts like screenshots, game play recording and clearing memory.
Redmi K20 has the same camera hardware used in the flagship Redmi K20 Pro. Both have only the difference sensor, as we have also told you above. The third rear camera has an extra bonus. Redmi K20 performed well in our camera test.
The camera draws 12 megapixels pixel-binning photos by default, but also has 48 megapixel modes that provide full-resolution 48 megapixel photos. Photos taken by primary sensors came from Crisp and the details were well captured. Dynamic range is also good in pictures.
The camera sometimes boasts the color more, disconnecting AI camera mode can save you some extent from this problem. Telephoto camera comes in handy for portrait shots and it works well to keep the subject and background indistinguishable.
Night mode helps reduce noise and increase brightness, but lacks of detail and colors. Night mode enhances ISO and does not seem to lack sharpness on the subject in the frame. Night mode works well with subject exposure compared to regular mode.
Subject Separation and Edge Detection in Portrait Selfie was good, but compared to regular selfies, there was a shortage of sharpness in it. In pictures taken in indoor and low light, there was a lack of low dynamic range and sharpness.
Throughout the day, social media, productivity apps, gaming for one hour, listening to music in Bluetooth headphones for a few hours, and even after calling, at the end of the day 30 to 35 percent of the battery was left in the phone. In our HD Video Battery Loop Test, the phone provided 25 hours and 17 minutes. The 18-watt charger that comes with the phone charges the phone from 0 to 45 percent in 32 minutes and the phone is fully charged in about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Some people are displeased with Redmi K20, many fans and potential buyers have expressed their disappointment that the company has not brought the handset in the price segment of less than Rs. 20,000. The performance of Redmi’s 20 in this price segment is very impressive. Design of Redmi K20 is going to draw everyone’s attention towards him. The display is of the best quality and the in-display fingerprint sensor given for security in the phone also works faster and accurately.
