Redmi K20, K20 Pro officially coming to India on July 17th

Xiaomi’s latest spin-off brand Redmi recently ventured into making flagship phones with the unveiling of the Redmi K20 series in China. There were reports that the K20 and K20 Pro were never going out of China. But, Xiaomi rebadged the device and launched it as the Xiaomi Mi 9T in the EU.

Over here in India, Xiaomi and Redmi had been teasing the imminent launch of the Redmi K20 in the country, and now we finally know when to expect the duo. In line with previous rumors, the Redmi K20, and K20 Pro launches in India on July 17th.

The company confirmed the launch date earlier today on its own website and Twitter where it did release some punches aimed at the OnePlus 7 Pro. Recall that the brand has been teasing the K20 series as the Flagship killer 2.0 due to hardware and pricing of the Pro variant that could give many OEMs a run for their money.
