Calling the Redmi K20 Pro one of the best devices on the market wouldn’t be an overstatement. As it stands, the device is a testament to how far one can push the envelope when it comes to mid-range pricing. It’s a phenomenally good device, even with the price out of the equation, with no major flaws and very few minor flaws on top of that. So, it makes sense that Xiaomi and Redmi would want to capitalize on this.
Yesterday, the company teased a small section of a device with bright gold sheen. Today, we’ve got leaks that reveal the device to be exactly what we thought it was. Redmi is making a new limited edition Redmi K20 Pro variant with a gold colour scheme, and for once the garish gold doesn’t look too bad.
The report also claims that this variant will go on sale in India INR 480,000 ($7000). We have no idea what sort of gold is going into this to jack up the price to $7000, but we’re not exactly huge fans. Is there really even a point to the device if it’s so expensive? We’re not entirely sure, but at the very least, the device isn’t ludicrously ugly like many gold devices are.
In terms of specs, this gold Redmi K20 Pro is pretty much exactly the same as your typical Redmi K20 Pro. All the great specs are still here, along with excellent features and design, just for a much higher price point. There’s essentially no reason to buy this device, just like there’s never been any reason to purchase ludicrously expensive device. But, it exists, and we suppose there’s probably a market for these things somewhere in the world.
