Earlier this year, Xiaomi-backed Redmi launched the Redmi K20 Pro flagship smartphone which comes with Snapdragon 855 SoC, 8GB RAM, and 128GB internal storage. However, since the SD855+ chipset has been launched, most smartphone manufacturers are upgrading their flagship devices and Redmi isn’t holding back.
After teasing the smartphone for several days, the company has today officially launched the Redmi K20 Pro Exclusive Edition. As expected, the smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core processor clocked at 2.96GHz and the Adreno 640 GPU is now overclocked to 672MHz.
Another major upgrade for the smartphone comes in the form of memory configuration. The phone now comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage — the highest configuration that Xiaomi or Redmi has ever offered.
While the phone was expected to have upgraded camera specs, it retains the same specifications as the Redmi K20 Pro. It features a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 48-megapixel rear camera with Dual LED Flash, f/1.75 aperture, 1/2″ Sony IMX586 sensor, 0.8μm pixel size, 6P lens, an 8-megapixel secondary 1/4″ telephoto lens with 1.12μm pixel size, f/2.4 aperture, and a 13-megapixel 1/3″ 124.8° ultra-wide sensor, 1.12μm pixel size, f/2.4 aperture.
