I bought this K20 in China from MI company operated outlet 18 hours ago. Phone is lacking selfie cam optimization.upon receiving video call on wechat,camera protrudes even if it is in your pocket.We demonstrated this to the staff at outlet.First they were reluctant to accept it as a problem or flaw but after a long debate they took it back and we ll get refund after 5 working days.I didnot expect MI to launch such a good Phone with such a flaw. During few hours usage i found all other features upto mark presenting MI insignia for quality including beautuful display and built quality.Can i share videos of K20 (MI 9T) popup cam misbehaviour? Perhaps it maybe not a big problem for some other people but for me its a horrible flaw..So beware of buying phones with pop up cams...

    In fact, Nokia 8.1 is nothing to compared with this K20. On all aspects.

      Web browsing time. 15 hours who's have been great.

        Samath N8 808 owner, 29 Jun 2019I had high hopes from the audio quality test, but it seems ... moreK20 using Sony IMX 582, while the Pro version using IMX 586. The only difference are 4k 60fps video recording on the Pro side. https://sparrowsnews.com/2019/05/30/redmi-k20-and-k20-pro-difference-in-camera-imx582-vs-imx586/

          Absolute copy of Nokia 8.1 from the back. This brand can never think original. Freaky Chinese company that can never be trusted.

            Samath N8 808 owner, 29 Jun 2019I had high hopes from the audio quality test, but it seems ... moreMost reviews pointed out that camera performance is very similar except that you get 4K 60fps in Pro version.

              AnonD-706668, 28 Jun 2019I didn’t understand that, why all Chinese phone like Oppo, ... moreThere's simply no choice.
              Aperture is fixed. Shutter speed will slow only if you're on tripod.. That leaves us to ISO.

              And yes, its a good choice, because its comparatively a big sensor... and blur pics are useless, much better are noisy pics.

                I had high hopes from the audio quality test, but it seems it was not meant to be...

                Let's see how K20 Pro does then....
                Thankfully the cameras are good here, so can expect better in Pro...

                  Shadocx, 28 Jun 2019I'm not so sure about the camera quality, and that's the SD... moreTrue, but the camera quality is good enough that a little bit of editing or compression should make it almost as good as high tier flagships

                    Nicolas F, 29 Jun 2019Oh, you are welcome. And why do this "lot of people" care ... morelots of people don't use cases because it covers the design of the phone they chose, what's the reason why you picked the color of your phone? the details? and then in the end you'll just cover it?

                      Nicolas F, 29 Jun 2019Oh, you are welcome. And why do this "lot of people" care ... morePeople are different dude. They don't care about stuff like that, they just want their device to look good. After all, it was the main market that kinda screwed us over when it comes to removable battery

                        so Mi 9T and K20 are unidentical twins then their big bro is K20 Pro? alright, I'd get the younger K20

                          Nicolas F, 29 Jun 2019Oh, you are welcome. And why do this "lot of people" care ... moreBecause if you use a case, it will hide the beautiful design of the back of your smartphone. Again, it might not matter to you.
                          If the phone is all black it won't really matter, but this one has carbon fiber design on the back.
                          I personally use transparent cases because I still want some protection.

                              Wow what a disappaointment it turned out to be. Battery seems poor when browsing (Which is the most important battery test), speaker's loudness is below average and audio quality from the 3.5mm jack is crappy. Pass.

                                Shadocx, 28 Jun 2019A lot of people :) don't forget we're billions on this plan... moreOh, you are welcome.
                                And why do this "lot of people" care about such insignificant thing?
                                Or why do they not wear a case on a smartphone when it's such a useful accessory? With a good case it's more comfortable to hold smartphone and use it one-handedly; some cases have stand function for watching video; and how do they put a smartphone on a table without a case?

                                  Yep, the cons are especially true here on my country. Mi 9 is just $40 more than Mi 9T with Mi 9 SE is around $30 cheaper at the same version.

                                  Fantastic phone but gonna wait a bit for the cheapest version of the Pro so I can compare them since I really want SD 855 for my next phone.
