Xiaomi’s September 24 event is set to be a big one. Not only will we get to see the new Mi MIX flagship, but Xiaomi will also announce the Mi 9 Pro 5G and MIUI 11. But that is not all. Xiaomi will also announce a new TV line, the bezel-less Mi TV Pro. Today, it has revealed more details about the upcoming TVs.
The Mi TV Pro’s highlight is its design and Xiaomi has engraved the words “Designed By Xiaomi” in a tiny font on the right side of the frame. The TV practically has no bezels on three of its sides and boasts a high screen-to-body ratio.
The Mi TV Pro has an anodized aluminum alloy frame, an aluminum alloy base, and a 3D carbon fiber textured back.

Xiaomi has disclosed that the TV will be available in three sizes – 43”, 55”, and 65” and all three will have 4K displays. The rest of the specs are still unknown but we expect more details will surface on the days leading up to the launch.
We don’t expect the Mi Pro TVs to be cheap. However, if you are in need of a new TV, Xiaomi has a TV festival sale that will begin tomorrow and run until Saturday, September 21. The Mi TV 4A series along with some other models will be getting price cuts.
Xiaomi has been in the TV business for a couple of years now. Redmi, its subsidiary, announced its first TV last month – a behemoth 70-inch TV. Today, Xiaomi has also announced a 70-inch model for its Mi TV 4A series.
The new Mi TV 4A 70” has a 4K LCD display with thin bezels and a slim body that makes it appear like its a giant painting when you hang it on the wall.
It has Xiaomi’s XiaoAI assistant built-in which means you will be able to ask it to search and play movies and shows or use it to control smart home devices connected to the same network and account. It also has Xiaomi’s PatchWall system.
The TV has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 64-bit Amlogic processor. It has 3 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, AV input, and an S/PDIF audio port. There is Dolby Audio and dts-HD too.
The Mi TV 4A 70” is priced at ¥3999 (~$564) and will go on sale tomorrow on the official Xiaomi online store, Jingdong, Tmall, Suning and at Mi Home stores.
In addition to the new 70” size, the Mi TV 4A line is also available in 32”, 43”, 50”, 55”, 58”, and 65” sizes.
Xiaomi launched the MIJIA T500 electric toothbrush under crowdfunding not too long ago, priced at 199 yuan ($28). The Chinese tech giant has now launched the Mijia T100 Sonic electric toothbrush with a cheaper price tag but good features. The toothbrush will be sold for 39 yuan ($5) but under the crowdfunding, it is on offer for 99 yuan ($13) for a set of three electric toothbrushes.
The MIJIA T100 Sonic Electric Toothbrush continues the simple design of its predecessors. It has a lightweight build, weighing just 46g. It features a small brush head with soft bristle which can easily penetrate the spaces between the teeth. The top structure of the bristles is specially treated to better conform to the oral cavity and also keep the gum protected while brushing. The brush also comes with an IPX7 waterproof rating which means it can be rinsed under running water.
In terms of performance, the MIJIA T100 can provide up to 16,500 vibrations per minute, which can effectively remove tooth stains and tartar. The brush adopts two operating modes; standard and gentle mode to meet the needs of different persons. The brush is adjusted to stop shortly after 30 seconds as a way of reminding you to switch position. The toothbrush also stops automatically after 2 minutes. In terms of battery life, the MIJIA T100 Sonic Electric Toothbrush can be fully charged in 4 hours and the battery can last for up to 30 days.
Last week, Ulefone announced its 2 new rugged models that will soon hit the market featuring huge battery and Helio P70: Ulefone Armor 3W and 3WT. Today, the company released an official hands-on video of the devices so let’s take a look at their features and performance.
Following the company’s standards when it comes to rugged phones, both are certified by IP68/IP69K as well as MIL-STD-810G.

The display is a 5.7″ FHD+ one with 18:9 aspect ratio, and there is also an 8MP selfie shooter that supports face unlock. In addition, the devices come with a fingerprint sensor, dual-4G/dual-VoLTE, NFC with Google Pay, global frequency band support, and run Android 9 Pie. And they can be used for underwater photography as well.
According to the company, the global presale should begin next week but until now we don’t know the exact pricing. You can see all the details for Armor 3W here and for its walkie-talkie sibling here.
Huawei has a big event tomorrow in Munich, Germany where it will announce its new flagship phones – the Mate 30 series. While those are the anticipated devices, Huawei will be unveiling more than just phones.
We already know that a successor to the Huawei Watch GT will be arriving as well as the launch of the Harmony OS-powered Huawei TV. Gresh details have revealed that there will also be a new fitness band and a global release of the MediaPad M6. There are also some new details about the ones we already know are launching tomorrow.
Huawei TV
Huawei announced Harmony OS at its Developer Conference last month. The first commercially available product running the new OS is the Honor Vision TV which is already on sale in China.
Images of the 55-inch TV along with new details have now surfaced on the web thanks to AndroidHeadlines. The photos show the TV will have a pop-up camera like the Honor Vision Pro.

There are vents on the sides of the TV and the right side is also home to a plethora of ports including HDMI ports, USB ports, and an ethernet port. The TV is designed to be placed on a surface and not hanged.
The back has a brush metal finish with two giant circles which we are not sure what they do. There is also a large speaker at the base of the screen. Leaked posters on Weibo show the Huawei TV will have Huawei Share and what is called Huawei Sound. The former will allow owners to share files from their phone to the TV.
Huawei Band 4 Pro?
Huawei will also announce a new fitness band tomorrow. The name is unconfirmed but seeing as the Huawei Band 3 Pro was announced alongside the Mate 20 series last year, this may arrive as the Huawei Band 4 Pro.
AndroidHeadlines has also provided images of the band. It has an AMOLED touchscreen display and a silicone strap which appears to be non-replaceable. The one in the images has a bright orange color but there should be other variants available.
1 of 4
The watch has a heart rate sensor and we may see Huawei announce a new version of its TruSeen heart monitoring system. We also expect a new version of its TruSleep sleep monitoring system. AndroidHeadlines adds that it will be able to measure oxygen saturation. The Huawei Band 3 Pro has built-in GPS, so we expect this will have too.
Huawei Watch GT 2
We already covered some leaks of the Watch GT 2 but more details have surfaced. First, the watch will be available in two sizes – a 42mm version with a 1.2-inch 390 x 390 display and 20mm strap and a 46mm version with a 1.39-inch 454 x 454 display and 22mm strap.
Previously, it was reported that the Watch GT 2 will have a speaker and microphone. While there isn’t a confirmation of an LTE modem, there is a high chance it will have one. However, the smaller Watch GT 2 doesn’t have a microphone according to AndroidHeadlines, so that rules out LTE for it.
The two sizes will come with the same Kirin A1 chip present in the Huawei Freebuds 3 announced at IFA 2019. The chipset brings Bluetooth 5.1 and Bluetooth 5.1 LE.
Above are renders of the smartwatch with different straps and styles.
MediaPad M6
The MediaPad M6 is also expected to get a global launch tomorrow. The tablet already launched in China back in June and last month, Huawei announced a Turbo Edition. The MediaPad M6 is powered by the Kirin 980 processor which powers the Huawei P30 Pro and comes in 8.4-inch and 10.8-inch versions with WiFi-only and LTE variants for both sizes.
The Redmi Note 8 and the Note 8 Pro were unveiled during a launch event that took in China in August this year. Having better specs than their predecessors the Redmi Note 7 and Note 7 Pro, the new Redmi Note 8 phones house four cameras at the back.
The Redmi Note 8 is been marketed as the world’s first smartphone with a 64MP camera. Much to the delight of Redmi fans that have been waiting with bated breath to get their hands on the new phone, the Redmi Note 8 Pro is now available on Giztop.
The global version of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is currently available on Giztop for $269. An absolute steal at this price, the Redmi Note 8 Pro sports a mammoth 6.53-inch waterdrop notch screen with an FHD+ screen resolution of 2340×1080 pixels.
Moreover, it packs a powerful MediaTek Helio G90T Octa-core gaming processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and a hearty 128GB of internal storage capacity, under the hood. On the photography front, the phone features Samsung GW1 64MP+8MP+2MP+2MP cameras at the back.
Upfront, there’s a 20MP camera for selfies and video calling. There’s a rear-mounted ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for added security and faster unlocking. The phone runs MIUI 10 base on Android 9 Pie OS and is backed by a 4500mAh battery, 18W fast charging and Quick Charge 4+.

Vivo is gearing up to take the wraps off two models of the next-gen NEX series smartphone later this month. While the phones are yet the hit the store shelves, their specifications have already surfaced online in the form of a new leak.
The NEX series smartphones comprise the Vivo NEX 3 and the Vivo NEX 3 5G. The only difference between the two models is that the NEX 3 5G supports 5G connectivity. We will talk about their specifications in just a bit.
If you have restlessly been waiting to get your hands on the new Vivo smartphones, it might interest you to know both, the Vivo NEX 3, as well as the Vivo NEX 3 5G models have gone up for pre-order on Giztop. Let’s check out the details without wasting time.
Vivo NEX 3
Available in two appealing color options including Black, and Breathing Crystal, the Vivo NEX 3 ships with a large 8GB of RAM and offers 128GB of internal storage capacity for you to store your favorite multimedia content. Both variants can be pre-ordered for $819 from Giztop.

The 8GB RAM+256 ROM NEX 3 5G model comes in black, as well as Breathing Crystal color options. The aforesaid variant will set you back $989 on Giztop. Those who fancy having more power and storage space on their phone, and do not mind paying more for it can go for the 12GB RAM+256GB ROM version of the phone.
The larger model has gone up for pre-order bearing a $1,089 price tag on Giztop. You can pre-order it by visiting this link. It is worth noting that the phone will be delivered by the end of this month.
Both, the Vivo NEX 3 and the Vivo NEX 3 5G models boast an impressive array of features, which we have listed below:
We already know OnePlus will roll out its first smart TV in India on September 26 alongside the OnePus 7T smartphone. We also know that the OnePlus TV will come with a remote with a touchpad. What you may not know is that the TV will also be controlled with a smartphone. This was revealed by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau via a teaser on his Twitter handle earlier today.
The feature includes not just the smartphone control but also the ability to input text on the TV from a smartphone. The teaser promises the TV will get “fast, smooth, seamless control through your smartphone”. For the text input, it will be a lot easier to use a smartphone than the remote control and that is what the second teaser is promoting. The teaser did not reveal how the smartphone will connect to the TV but we believe it will be either through Bluetooth or WiFi. The TV may get a dedicated app which would facilitate the pairing and use of the smartphone as a remote controller or keypad.
Along with the launch of Samsung Galaxy M30s smartphone in the India, the South Korean giant has also launched the updated version of the Galaxy M10, dubbed as Samsung Galaxy M10s.
The smartphone features a 6.4-inch HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity-V display with 1520 x 720 pixels screen resolution. Under the hood, it is powered by a new 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos 7884B octa-core processor.
It comes in a single variant — 3GB RAM with 32GB of internal storage. There’s also a dedicated microSD card slot that enables you to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 512GB.
Coming to the camera department, the smartphone has a dual camera setup on the back, featuring a 13MP primary camera sensor and a 5MP secondary ultra-wide sensor. On the front side, the phone comes with an 8MP camera sensor with face unlock support.
As for the connectivity options, the device supports Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS + GLONASS. The phone also has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security. It runs Android 9 Pie-based One UI and is powered by a 4,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging.
The Samsung Galaxy M10s comes in two color options — Stone Blue and Piano Black. The phone is priced at ₹8,999 (~$126) and will be available for purchase from Amazon.in and Samsung India online store from 29th September.
Yesterday, OnePlus revealed press renders of its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus 7T. The images confirmed what we have seen in leaks but also revealed the phone will come in a new Haze Blue color. Today, a render of the OnePlus 7T Pro has surfaced but this time from an unofficial source.
The leaked image was shared by OnLeaks in partnership with igeeksblog. The image shows the OnePlus 7T Pro will also be available in the same Haze Blue color variant as the OnePlus 7T.
The OnePlus 7T Pro will keep the pop-up selfie camera design of the OnePlus 7 Pro. It will also keep the triple rear camera design. However, the laser focus module is now outside the camera housing.
Both sides are covered with glass but the rear features a new matte finish with a metallic look. The display is also curved and will keep its 90Hz refresh rate.
The OnePlus 7 Pro will have a 6.65-inch Fluid AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor. It will have a 48MP primary rear camera paired with an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera. It will also have a 16MP selfie camera.
It has also been revealed that the 7T Pro will have a 4085mAh battery with Warp Charge 30T fast charging. It will also run Android 10 out of the box.
Reports emanating from the Taiwanese supply chain indicate that semi-conductor manufacturer MediaTek is targeting 60 million 5G chip shipments next year. Although the company refused to comment on the news, previous news from the supply chain noted that MediaTek’s 5G chip has changed the 7nm process of the 5G MT6885 SoC from “general mass production” to “ultra-quick order production” due to customers’ hopes of early shipment. It is expected to be mass-produced before the end of this year.
The Taiwanese industry expects that MediaTek should be able to win orders for some 5G mobile phones from China’s mobile phone brands such as OPPO, Vivo and Huawei. It is reported that the initial evaluation of the average selling price (ASP) per unit of MediaTek’s 5G chip shows it costs about $50 USD, far beyond the 4G single-chip ASP which is about $10 to $12 USD. However, we believe it is still cheaper than the average selling price of Qualcomm’s 5G chipsets.
MediaTek is extremely optimistic about the Chinese 5G market. Previously, market consulting firm Strategy Analytic believed that China’s 5G mobile phone sales reached 80 million in 2020, and 160 million worldwide. MediaTek CEO Cai Lixing projects that global sales will be around 140 million, while China will account for 100 million which is about 70% of expected 5G phone shipment next year. That could be due to the rapid roll-out of 5G networks by Chinese carriers.
It has been more than a year since the first Black Shark phone was revealed. Following its launch in April 2018, the Xiaomi-backed company has released three successors to its very first gaming smartphone.
When the Black Shark 1 launched, it ran Android Oreo out of the box. Since then Google has announced two new versions of Android. While it is unlikely it will get updated to Android 10, the Black Shark 1 is finally getting updated to Android 9 Pie.
The update has begun rolling out and it brings along some new features in addition to those that Android Pie brings.
The changelog says there is a new version of SharkSpace and GamerStudio. The update also brings ScreenRecorder and Face Unlock and a feature that lets users share a WiFi network through hotspot. It has also been reported that the update brings August 2019’s security patch.
The Black Shark 1 also gets optimizations for its camera, performance, and system stability.
The update is said to be rolling out globally, so if you own a Black Shark 1, you should go check System Updates under Phone Settings or wait for the OTA’ notification.
The Black Shark 1 has a 5.99-inch FHD+ display. It has bezels at the top and bottom and the chin is home to a fingerprint scanner. There is a Snapdragon 845 processor inside along with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and a 4000mAh. Storage is 64GB and 128GB respectively with no option for memory expansion.
The phone has 12MP + 20MP dual rear cameras with 2x optical zoom. It also has a 20MP selfie camera. There is no audio jack but it has stereo speakers. It has Dual-SIM support, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port. It also supports 18W fast charge.
Earlier this year, Samsung launched the Galaxy M30 smartphone in India as a part of its new online-only Galaxy M-series. Today, the company has launched a new variant of the same — Samsung Galaxy M30s.
The smartphone features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Infinity-U Super AMOLED display with 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. Under the hood, it is powered by Samsung Exynos 9611 10nm processor with Mali-G72MP3 GPU.
Coming to the memory configuration, the phone comes in two variants — 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capacity up to 512GB.
As for the camera, the smartphone comes with a triple-rear camera setup that consists of a 48 MP primary sensor with LED flash, f/2.0 aperture, Samsung GW2 sensor, a 5 MP depth sensor with f/2.2 aperture, and an 8 MP 123° ultra-wide angle camera with f/2.2 aperture.
On the front side, the device comes with a 16-megapixel Samsung SK3P8SP camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture. The phone also comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for added security.
Connectivity options on the device include Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C port. The phone runs Android 9 Pie operating system with Samsung One UI on top and is powered by a massive 6,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging.
The Samsung Galaxy M30s is offered in three color options — Opal Black, Sapphire Blue, and Pearl White. The 4GB RAM model is priced at ₹13,999 (~$196) while the 6GB RAM model costs ₹16,999 (~$238). The smartphone will be available for purchase from Amazon.in and Samsung online store from September 29th.
Xiaomi is hosting a launch event in China on 24th September where the company will be launching a few products, including the Mi 9 Pro 5G — the company’s second 5G-enabled smartphone in its home market. One of the features we’ve heard a lot about is the device’s fast charging capabilities, and it turns out even Lei Jun has something to say about it.
The founder of Xiaomi has gone to Weibo, revealing the charge times for the new device. According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s 40W wired fast charging will bring the phone from 0% to 100% in a mere 48 minutes, fairly impressive. Meanwhile, the 30W wireless charging also works remarkably fast, going from 0% to 100% in 69 minutes, nice.
Additionally, the phone also supports 10W reverse wireless charging, making it the first flagship smartphone from the company this year to support reverse wireless charging. This means that the phone can be used to power other devices like headphones, watches, razors and electric toothbrushes, or even your friend’s device if you’re feeling generous.
We are eagerly waiting for the 24th to arrive so that we finally get a proper glimpse at Xiaomi’s Mi 9 Pro 5G and, more interestingly, the Mi MIX 4 5G. We can also expect Xiaomi to unveil the latest version of MIUI at the event, that being MIUI 11. Until then, stay tuned on Gizmochina for any updates regarding Xiaomi and the upcoming launch.
The Redmi K20 Pro Exclusive Edition will be announced tomorrow and it has already been confirmed that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 855 Plus processor. Today, more details have surfaced revealing that it will come with more than just a new processor.
Earlier, it was officially revealed that the phone will come with 512GB of internal storage, double that of the standard edition’s highest configuration. Now Redmi has released a poster that reveals the phone will also have 12GB of RAM!
The standard edition K20 Pro comes in 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM variants, so the switch to 12GB of RAM is a significant one. But that is not all.
Redmi also revealed that the Exclusive Edition will come with a better primary rear camera, actually even more cameras. Rather than 48MP triple sensors, the phone will have a 64MP quad-camera setup. The 64MP camera is most likely the Samsung GW1 ISOCELL sensor inside the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Other features of the phone confirmed include NFC, Hi-Fi audio, Type-C port, and a four-curved glass body with Gorilla Glass 5 on both sides. The image also says there is a 48MP camera which is a bit confusing since the primary rear camera is revealed to be a 64MP sensor. We’ll keep our fingers crossed on that.
The Redmi K20 Pro Exclusive Edition launches tomorrow night in China.
Xiaomi’s much-awaited MIUI 11 OS will debut next week alongside two new 5G flagships. Before the official launch of the new OS, the company’s MIUI experience chief, Xiaofan has revealed a key change in MIUI 11. Earlier today, he revealed on Weibo that Xiaomi has decided to take a slightly different approach for animations in the new OS.
First off, he says that Xiaomi is probably one of the few Android smartphone makers to use non-linear animations in its OS. The company adopted this style from MIUI 6 where it used non-linear animations throughout the UI like in the case of home screen and app deletion animations. In the next few iterations of MIUI, the company was in the pursuit of speeding up these animations to make the UI quick and responsive.
Xiaomi started using non-linear animations from MIUI6
In fact, MIUI 9 was launched with the tagline ‘快如闪电’ which means ‘lightning-fast’. So it was clear that the company wanted to make the animations as quick as possible in the OS. But when MIUI 10 was in the development phase, Xiaomi realized that speed was less important in an animation. It was both speed as well as the smoothness of the animation that really mattered. So, Xiaomi decided that MIUI 10 would be the last OS where it would talk about app startup speeds.
This brings us to the upcoming MIUI 11 OS. Xiaomi’s MIUI team has focused on making the animations slightly slower and thereby making them richer in detail. He adds that the faster and smoother animations make for better user experience on the OS. In fact, Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun forwarded his post a few hours later saying that even he was surprised with the animations on MIUI 11.
Unfortunately, Xiaofan adds that we won’t hear much about the animations on MIUI 11 at the event next week because of time constraints. So, we’ll have to experience it in real life (after rollout) to really see what he’s talking about.
Are you excited about MIUI 11? Considering the company’s history, most of the Xiaomi models should be updated to MIUI 11 in the coming weeks.
The ZenFone 6 was a huge surprise from ASUS this year. The ZenFone 6 arrived with a notch-less display, top of the line specs, a massive 5000mAh battery, near-stock Android, and even a headphone jack. Not to mention its unique flip camera that transforms the rear-camera into a selfie shooter in order to give you a display with no notches or holes. All of this and it came in at only $500, which is frankly incredible.
ASUS is so confident about the phone, it has decided to release a special ‘Edition 30’ variant, coming with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It’s now available in the US for $900. Coupled with the same Snapdragon 855 and 5,000mAh battery from the standard edition, the 30-years-of-ASUS version is almost comparable to the company’s other hardware behemoth, the ROG Phone II, albeit with a more conventional design.
Speaking of the device’s design, it’s essentially unchanged from the typical Zenfone 6, though there are some small changes. The device sports a matte-black rear panel featuring a concentric circle design making it less slippery and glossy than the regular Zenfone 6. Towards the bottom, you’ll also find a 30th-anniversary logo.
ASUS also went the extra mile with the packaging, including a premium box along with an exclusive VIP card inside that entitles you to a 30-month warranty with prioritized repairs. You can check out an official image of the new packaging below, it’s pretty crazy how far they’ve gone polishing the presentation.
The Asus Zenfone 6 Edition 30 will set you back $900, about $300 more than the 8GB/256GB edition. Unfortunately, all the other variants are currently sold out, so the Edition 30 is your only option in the US. Also, keep in mind that the Zenfone 6 is GSM-only, so it will not work on Verizon, Sprint, or other CDMA carriers in the US.
Google is all set to introduce the new-gen Pixel 4 lineup next month, and it’s possibly one of the worst kept tech secrets of all time. Ahead of its launch, the Pixel 4 has been making splashes over the web giving an insight on the renders. Now, in the latest developments, a new color option of the device has been tipped.
9to5Google found that a couple of Redditors—LousyTX and NVRLand— snapped a few photos of a Times Square billboard showing off the Pixel 4. The ad not only confirms the back camera design of the Pixel 4 series, but also the Coral color option. This will be the third color option along with black and white.
It also also confirms one of the “few new things Made by Google” that the tech giant will be launching at its upcoming hardware event. To recall, the invite that Google sent out earlier this week didn’t reveal the products that the company was planning to launch. It simply said — “Come see a few new things Made by Google”.
What is more interesting about the billboard is that Google is also confirming the new square-ish camera island. According to reports, both Pixels will feature Snapdragon 855, 6GB of RAM and dual rear cameras. This dual setup will comprise a 12 MP main sensor along with a 16 MP telephoto one. The smaller Pixel 4 will ship 5.7″ 90Hz 1080p+ OLED display and a really disappointing 2,800 mAh battery.
Really, at this point it’d be more surprising to NOT find out something about the Pixel 4 every day. We wouldn’t even be shocked if the Pixel 5 leaked at the launch event at this rate. Still, at least the upcoming Pixel 4 seems like a decent upgrade over the previous Pixel smartphones. We’ll keep covering Google Pixel 4 news as it comes, so stay tuned.
The Redmi K20 Pro is a beast of a smartphone. It’s got top-end hardware, an affordable price tag, and is definitely well made. But what’s it like on the inside? To answer that question, JerryRigEverything has posted a new YouTube video that does a complete teardown of the Redmi K20 Pro. So, let’s take a closer look.
The K20 Pro is built using the typical glued glass sandwich design. Once the back panel comes off, it reveals red rubber seals around every opening of the phone. It seems that Redmi has included some form of water resistance in the phone but hasn’t acquired any certification, similar to what OnePlus did with its latest flagship the OnePlus 7 Pro. This is probably one of the reasons why the phone has such an affordable price tag.
It may not completely water-resistant though, as there are still some large openings with no protection. But these rubber seals coupled with the officially confirmed P2i nanocoating for splash resistance will provide very good water resistance. It’s nice to see that Redmi has put an effort into water resistance without any impact on cost.
The motorized pop-up camera mechanism is identical to the OnePlus 7 Pro. The internal motor spins the threaded shaft and as it spins, the pop-up camera is moved in and out of the phone. What is different about this one though, is that it has flashy LED lights around the sides that are neatly fitted into the plastic cover of the camera itself.
Overall, it seems like the Redmi K20 Pro isn’t just well built on the outside, but it’s also well assembled from the inside as well. It’s excellent to see Xiaomi put in this much effort into a product. This is especially good for them considering tomorrow’s Redmi K20 Pro Exclusive Edition with 512GB storage launch. We’ll keep you updated on all Redmi K20 Pro news.
