Description
The Xiaomi Mi 9
was announced back in February, as Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone. Well,
earlier this year, Xiaomi announced that Redmi is becoming a separate
entity, so the company is not releasing phones under the “Redmi”
branding, without “Xiaomi” branding.
Having said that, the Redmi K20 Pro is the company’s very first flagship handset, and it’s a competitor to many phones out there, including Xiaomi’s Mi 9
handset. The Redmi K20 Pro is really affordable, as is the Mi 9, and it
comes with the same flagship processor as the Xiaomi Mi 9.
Both of these smartphones are quite compelling, and in some ways they
are similar, but there are plenty of differences here worth noting,
which is why we’re here to compare
the two devices. If you’ve been wondering which of the two to get,
here’s our comparison, and we do hope that it will help you out.
