Third-party reviews

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium (12GB + 512GB)

  • Stunning, full-screen, notchless AMOLED display that is bright and sharp
  • Excellent overall value for money, offering flagship specifications at a much lower price point
  • Top-tier performance for its time, with the Snapdragon 855/855+ processor handling gaming and daily tasks smoothly without overheating
  • Premium build quality and attractive, unique design with a glass body and distinctive rear gradient colors
  • Good battery life (4,000 mAh) that often lasts a full day or more with moderate use
  • Versatile rear camera setup (48MP main, 13MP ultrawide, 8MP telephoto) that captures impressive photos in good lighting and supports 4K 60fps video recording
  • Inclusion of a headphone jack
  • Pop-up selfie camera mechanism includes freefall detection to prevent damage
  • Has an in-display fingerprint sensor

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium (12GB + 512GB)

  • MIUI software includes bloatware and occasional ads, which can be a drawback for some users
  • The in-display fingerprint scanner's performance can be hindered by a tempered glass screen protector
  • The single, mono speaker is considered a downside compared to more premium phones
  • The device can feel heavy, and one-handed usage may be difficult for some users, especially with a case on
  • The glossy glass body is prone to collecting fingerprints and smudges
  • Selfie camera photo quality is poor, with bad dynamic range and soft details
  • Lack of features found in some high-end flagships at the time, such as official water resistance and wireless charging
  • Over time (after several years of use), battery degradation becomes noticeable, and the 27W charging speed feels slow compared to modern standards

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium (12GB + 512GB) is a powerful, high-end smartphone featuring the flagship Snapdragon 855+ processor and a generous 12GB of RAM with 512GB of UFS 3.0 storage. Its main pros include the vibrant, notchless 6.39-inch AMOLED display achieved through a motorized pop-up selfie camera, a versatile triple rear camera setup (48MP main sensor), and a substantial 4000mAh battery with 27W fast charging support. A key con is the absence of an official IP water resistance rating and the lack of expandable storage via microSD card.
