The Redmi K20 Pro Is The New Value Champion By Unbox Therapy

So this is the most requested smartphone in a while. It's in the comment section I'm publishing videos: people are like Lu: where is the K 20 probe the red meat K 20 pro people telling me it's the next polka phone, it's kind of crazy action. When you look at the spec list, and then you look at the price Snapdragon e55 top-tier chipset 4000 William hour battery full screen display AMOLED pop-up camera you're, like okay I, hear you I hear you this thing when you do a conversion, the starting price 360 dollars now quickly. I should tell you available in China first India next. So keep that in mind. If you're in North America, you may have to import this thing, but that's a crazy spec list when converted to the North American price.

As far as I'm concerned now, my version is the top spec version, which is a few more dollars than 360s. You can see on the side. This one is 8 gigs of ram and 256. Gigs of storage starts at 6, gigs ram, smaller storage and that's what you get for the 360 USD. We have a case as well to get you up and running it's an it's, a pretty simple I.

Guess it's a little nicer than simple. Sometimes you just get that, like plastic, clear case the CPU case, this one is thinner, so I'd be more likely to use that than the typical freebie case that you get really crazy pattern on it. Look at that I mean that's the first time we see. No, that's like some Game of Thrones thing right. Well, that's Targaryen! So will he do he's the in-house Game of Thrones expert, and he claims this is inspired by Game of Thrones when it comes to differentiation, it's not enough to just be a color.

Now you've got to have color shifts and crazy sandblasting going on, and this is just the latest version of it. This gives you a look at the camera module as well. You have a 48 megapixel camera in their same sensor, Sony sensor same sensor as the 1 plus 7 Pro, and then a couple of other modules, including an ultra-wide which that's a must for me, something at the 1 plus 7 Pro doesn't have a headphone jack still on the device, and this also gives you a glance at the pop-up camera. That's because it's a full display AMOLED- and this is motorized going to pop up bottom of the device- gives you your SIM tray as well as your USB type-c connector, and its quick charge as well. I believe it's 27, watts, I, think I.

Looked it up.27 watt, quick charge, okay, very nice to have let's go ahead and see if it has any power. Okay. So, as I mentioned Xiaomi device, so me UI, 10 pre-installed. We should do a quick comparison actually with the 1 plus 7 Pro, all right, so both AMOLED, that's the main thing, that's kind of what you're looking for. Of course, that gives you the rich tones and the dark blacks.

I should also mention on the OnePlus around the edge the glass curves. You don't get that on the K 20 Pro, but these two devices, even though the specs are quite similar. The price is not now, as I mentioned before. It's running me UI. So for me, that's a bit foreign.

That's not my typical operating system, I'm more of a stock Android or close to stock Android guy and since I've been using the 7 Pro. It's been crazy, quick, there's, almost no animation in there. In fact, you can turn it off completely, but just by default, it's hardly there. So I'm, probably not gonna, be an immediate fan of this UI comparatively, but it does feel relatively snappy at the moment and let's check out the pop-up camera pop-up camera. So that's a lot for your money.

It's actually kind of insane that that set of features has now trickled down to that price point. This is just common now, all right. Let's try a selfie while we're here and okay. We are fully in beard, hair territory, lots of contrast, which is what I look for as well as not blowing out the brightness on a cheek here. Another thing that I'm looking forward to a front-facing camera that said look how black the black is it blends right into the unused portion of the display, the black of my shirt, I'm gonna, try HDR in this one Auto, so it's obviously very hot once again and there's not much you can do about it.

This is a very bright environment to shoot photos in, but the detail is there Amanda beard hairs. Are there and again? This is a kind of wild that we're talking about anything comparable to a flagship type of performance in something that's nowhere near that price point starting at 360. Alright, let's try the rear camera, so this is at 1x, no HDR 2x, no HDR ultra-wide. We got to get my hand out of the way, so that's point six ultra-wide that rounds out your three different options, so this being the widest, as you can see, it's an incredible frame. I think it should be sufficient for what most people are looking for when they take a wide shot and as I move through.

That's your zoom, that's pretty nice. Actually, quite detailed is only a 2x zoom. So keep that in mind nothing, no crazy, reach, no hybrid, no 10x, like the OPPO device, I featured recently or anything like the P30 Pro standard out the gate. There's your zoom! There's your ultra-wide triple camera setup, unbelievable 360 bucks! Next up, let's give the speakers a quick check. That's a must: let's try some loo later first, the titles that are going to be available on Stadia for those of you that have been following along this, of course, is Google's new gaming service.

Yesterday's show we speculated on what Google was going to say today, particularly in relationship to price expected for Stadia. It turns out. The pricing is a bit more complicated than we had imagined, so I would say: volume is similar. The k20 Pro may cut through a little more, but Jack just mentioned. It could also be perceived as tenure.

I also hear more low, mid, low high-end kind of frequency in the OnePlus device, but honestly I'd say they're kind of comparable. Neither them sound, amazing I might take away like considering the price differences to each own. I mean you guys heard it I guess you can kind of try to decide for yourself, but like it's, not a big difference. Three different price points represented, and I'm like men, the audio is very close. Okay, so let's go ahead and test out the in screen fingerprint reader real quick here.

So it works. Like those other optical image based fingerprint scanners, rotate your finger around you try to get the scan in now. Let's go ahead and test that out all right. It's about the same. It's fast enough, I, don't mind the look of the animation there.

I turned it off on this device on the 7. Pro I just turned it off, so it just takes me straight in little race. Here, three, two one. You can see it feels faster on the OnePlus, but here's the thing I keep referencing and comparing this device to the OnePlus device like as if they are completely targeted at one another and while they are, there are obviously different price points. You could almost get two of these.

That's a lot of value. It's a ton of value! This has so many elements from a hardware perspective that make the OnePlus 7 pro special there they're sitting in here at a much lower price point. If you can look past the skin, which might not be to your taste, at least for me, in the North American market, I'm I'm sure people in China completely used to me UI, and they're, happy with in their gonna use this in and so forth. But me I like to have the app drawer. You know I like to have something closer to a stock.

Android experience, it's just more where my head is at, but if you think about this from the standpoint of like okay, I'm going to put my own launcher on anyways. Now it becomes hard to justify spending the extra cash on the OnePlus I, get if it's a bigger display. The fit and finish is probably step above with the curved glass going around the edge the brand name here in this market specifically, but then you make the argument towards this one where you're like yo. Maybe you want a slightly smaller form factor? Maybe you want to have a headphone jack and all of a sudden you're, like hmm, both have the same chipset both have the same battery inside it's like that's becomes. It becomes a difficult choice to make especially price considered, so 360 bucks.

Of course, this is just an unboxing video. You know I'm just looking at this thing for the first time, I'm just popping off the cameras for the first time. For me, the finish being glossy I mean that's gonna, be up to your own individual taste I'm starting to feel like this might be the value champion. I'm starting to feel like this can be tough to beat I just keep referencing that price I feel like people in North America. We don't get enough exposure to this type of value.

It's hard to imagine that in other parts of the world, people are getting all this for that money. It's like a whole different spectrum of discussion when you get into the price conversation and that's what happened with the polka phone last time around is it was like man. We need to adjust our perspectives on how we're evaluating this stuff because. It's no longer just pay. Does it have the spec list I'm looking for it's also, how does it match up price-wise, because so many things have the spec list you're looking for now, this one included.

So for me, for the time being, my sim is going to stay in the 1 plus 7 pro I'm not finished with it. Yet I want to use it a little longer, but it's starting to look like I might pop it in here. Next, that's a crazy value, starting at 360 USD, that is the Redmi K 20 pro.
