Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro review

26 Aug 2019


Sort by:

Reborn, 27 Aug 2019I am from Europe and I have the opportunity to buy the K20 ... moreI'm not so sure they are the same as usually in europe we go for global version (has to do with support of frequency bands) while K versions are specific to Asian market. I do not have specifics (I didn't check, but they might be reflected in specs of phones), but check band support. I use poco and most loved feature there (for me) is dual apps where I can play the same game with two accounts. On the other hand, some global versions of other models had this feature off initially (eg. shark) so check what you use and double check if that is indeed there.

    To the repliers of my comment, I don't think I say that I don't condone Gcam Mods. I use GCam Mod on my Nokia 8 and it looked awesome.

    It's just that reviewers should never include mods in their official review. Let the consumers find out themselves by going to XDA and find a perfect GCam mod for the Mi 9T Pro.

    The first statement I made is just my Galaxy Brain meme talking.

      GSMA, you can shoot portrait mode using main cam. You just need to enable full body mode on top left corner.

          Great review. Does it have "Night Mode" available on the 13MP ultrawide camera? I think the review forgot to try the mode. Is there or there isn't an option?

            Its kind of confusing, when they release a budget line phone that rivals and even in some aspects surpasses their flagship line phone Mi 9

That means I get to have great camera experience without buying the terrible Pixel 3 and have an actual usable OS without overpaying for a Mac. Couldn't care less that I'm using closed source copyrighted software also if you dig deep enough it'd probably fall within some grey legal area for an individual user not affiliated with any business.

                    But go ahead, drown in your morality while pragmatists benefit from hacky solutions. Google benefits just as much from open source libraries that people develop out of good will and passion, using gcam is far, far from a morally bad deed.

A flagship phone is defined by display, software features, camera, battery all of them. pocophone F1 is a flagship for people like you but its not a real flagship. other than a top SOC it has nothing. It has a poor display, an OS with advertisement and several other mediocre components.

                      and anyway what the he** is a flagman? I know Aquaman, superman, Ironman, spider-man, Batman but never flagman.

                            GSMArena - you missed out one imp review. Does the pop-up cam retracts fast and properly in case of fall, as claimed?

Google got robbed of their prized software algorithms from those XDA modders. My point is that reviewers don't use mods to make it look better because not only it's cheating but it misleads the customer into thinking that it looked like this. Consumers don't typically go to XDA and mod like the ten thousand out of millions of you tinkers.

                                definately a killer phone for the asking price. but still no thanks i will still stick with my honor v10 ,which after 1.5yrs of me buying it is getting regular updates. and i guess i'll get the upcoming honor v30 just for the software and updates from huawei, also i hate miui, coz it simply is complicated and has ads...!!!

                                  GSMArena, how come you claim it is not a flagman when it has a flagman processor? What defines a phone as a flagman? The CPU is the main point and all other extras like great battery, screen, RAM and camera are just that - extras.
