Redmi K20 and K20 Pro may launch as Poco F2 and F2 Pro in India.
The same device may launch as Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro in Europe.
A 12GB RAM variant of the Redmi K20 Pro has also been spotted on the database of Chinese regulatory authority TENAA.
Recently, Redmi launched its K20 Series of smartphones in China. It was rumoured that the company might announce the same phone in India as the Poco F2. Now, a new media report has reiterated the development claiming that Redmi is likely to launch the K20 and K20 Pro devices as Poco F2 and Poco F2 Pro in the country. It also claims that the Chinese phone manufacturer would price them competitively in the Indian market.
Further, Xiaomi has also announced that it is adding a “new member” to the Mi 9 family and the smartphone would come equipped with a pop-up selfie camera, similar to the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro. The above mentioned report suggests that the K20 series of phones could be called the Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro when they launch in Europe.
And almost certain, darlings. The Redmi K20 is indeed likely to be the Poco F2. The SD 855 edition is likely to be called F2 Pro and the SD730 just F2. And the prices will be astonishing!
