It’s been a while since Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi launched the flagship K20 series in China and India. We usually don’t see many activities around launched products by these manufactures, but it seems Xiaomi has something more lined up for the the K20 lineup. The company has put up a new Redmi K20-related teaser on its Chinese social media channels. Although, aside from the August 16 date there aren’t a lot of hints.

The teaser image shows off boxing gloves, similar to K20 marketing materials, noting the text “KO” on it. What can be seen is that Redmi has partnered with ONE Championship, a Singapore-based sports media enterprise. The company will be making the announcement in partnership with ONE Championship, a Singapore-based sports media brand that works around kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and more.

It is expected that there might be a new variant of the phone, but there is no specific hint by the company. We’ve heard rumors that the new variants will feature 12GB of RAM, but nothing’s really set in stone.

Redmi had launched the K20 and K20 Pro smartphones in China in May. At present, only the 6GB and 8GB RAM variants of Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro are on sale in China. The same arrived in India last month. Back in late May, a K20 Pro variant with 12GB of RAM got certified for sale in China by TENAA, so this may very well be its official launch event. We’ll have to wait a few more days in order to find out for sure.

Pan Jiutang, a well known analyst from China, has given a speculation on the possible pricing of the upcoming Redmi K20. For those now in the know, the Redmi K20 is Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi’s upcoming flagship device. It’s touted to come with all the flagship bells and whistles, and has been leaked and teased mercilessly this past month.

According to Pan Jiutang, the Redmi K20 will cost somewhere between 2000 yuan to 4000 yuan. For those of us in the global market, that translates to anywhere between $290 to $580. It’s a disappointingly huge gap, though we personally expect it to fall smack dab in the middle. We imagine a $350-370 pricetag would be a decently fair price.

The Redmi K20 is set to be the breakout hit device of 2019. So far, it seems fairly far ahead of anything in the mid-range market. Between the in-screen fingerprint sensor and pop-up camera, Redmi seems to have quite the device on their hands. Redmi definitely haven’t been shy about either, they’ve even been poking fun at OnePlus lately! At least they’re not lacking in confidence.

We’re definitely looking forward to see how the device turns out. We have extremely high expectations for the device, and the leaked specs don’t disappoint. All we really can do however is wait for the day when it inevitably launches on the 28th. Until then, stay tuned on GizmoChina for all and any news on the upcoming device.
