Xiaomi Mi 9T = Redmi K20 outside China and = Pocophone 2 in India
The Redmi K20 and K20 Pro were released this week as the company’s most
powerful smartphones to the date. With the release of both smartphones
in China, speculation started to point out that these smartphones would
eventually be rebranded (renamed) for other markets like India and Europe. While India should receive
K20 and K20 as Pocophone F2 and F2 Pro, Europe will be getting Xiaomi Mi 9T and possibly Mi 9T Pro. This information is now confirmed a according to few leaks.
What’s more interesting is where this photo of the retail box comes
from – the image below was shared by a tech reviewer from Dubai. The
smartphone shown in this image is the Redmi K20, the lesser variant of
the K20 duo. But still, it’s a powerful smartphone that ships with the
Snapdragon 730, carries a 6.39-inch AMOLED display, 4,000mAh battery
with 18W fast-charging, pop-up selfie and a 48MP Sony’s IMX582 sensor
leading the triple-rear setup. Worth noting that the variant on this
leaked package carries 6GB of RAM and 64GB of Internal Storage in Carbon
Black color.
The two devices were made by Xiaomi’s subsidiary, Redmi, a name that
is usually associated with cost-effective smartphone due to the whole
history of Redmi devices. These devices should reach India as Pocophone F2 and F2 Pro. What
remains to be answered is, what will be the actual name of the variant
sold as “Global” through online retailers.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that both standard and Pro models will
be available in all regions. Just like Redmi Note 7 Pro is limited to
India and China, Redmi/Xiaomi could select some countries to drop each
variant of its flagship killers. And this may bother many people who want to the best version of this new amazing Flagship.
