To remind you, both the phones feature a 6.39-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 91.9% screen-to-body ratio with 2.1mm narrrow bezels, Android Pie with MIUI 10 on top, 48-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX586 sensor, 8-megapixel telephoto lens for 2x loss-less zoom and a 13-megapixel 124.8° ultra-wide sensor.
These also feature 20-megapixel pop-up front camera with sapphire lens cover that can rise in 0.8 seconds, and the rising mechanism has been tested 300,000 times. These have seventh-generation optical in-display fingerprint sensor, 3D curved design, and a 4000mAh battery with support for fast charging. The Redmi K20 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 855 with up to 8GB of RAM, 8 layers of graphite 3D sheet for better heat dissipation and the K20 is powered by Snapdragon 730 with 6GB of RAM.
The company also launched a new brand marketing campaign, True Master, promoting the Redmi K20 Pro, a collaboration between the Brand Marketing team of Xiaomi and MWG-TAG-Bangalore, and will be aired across television as well as social media platforms. Set in a Tai chi class scene, the story showcases the speedy performance of the Redmi K20 Pro powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, using a popular martial art concept with a dash of comical element.
Regarding the new brand campaign, Anuj Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer, Xiaomi India, said:
We wanted to explore a unique approach beyond just the traditional smartphone ads that regularly feature camera or design at a surface level, and instead offers a powerful story element that resonates with our flagship product. Choosing a story with Tai chi theme was a conscious effort from our side to portray the exceptionally speedy performance of our flagship killer, Redmi K20 Pro, which displays a creative contradiction to the rather slower moves of the martial art form treading on a comical note. The story reflects our firm belief in the innovative technology and incredible specs of the device.
