Last year, Xiaomi launched asub-brandcalled Poco and announceda sub-$300 phone called the Pocophone F1.
The phone packed the latest Qualcomm processor and sizable RAM in a plastic body.
Its full screen with no-notch makes the front of the equipment very attractive.
Xiaomi has opted for a pop-up selfie camera to get rid of the cutout.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Theres a flame-red variant and a black option too (which is just too vanilla).
The power button in the red accent on the side of the phone is also a nice little touch.
The screen is bright and colorful, which makes it a delight for media consumption.
The performance on the rig has been quite smooth.
I was able to play heavy-duty games such asPlayerUnknowns Battle Ground(PUBG) without any lags.
Xiaomi also ships a Turbo Game mode to boost the hardware performance and mute notifications during the gameplay.
Thats some neat heat management.
you’ve got the option to easily remove or rearrange these categories too.
The software experience is generally pleasant and bug-free.
However, the company still needs to work on its notification management.
Youll only notice the distinction if youre either zooming into the photo, or taking a large printout.
Nonetheless, pictures taken in the daylight are quite detailed.
Youll notice this especially if theres some kind of text like a signboard in the image.
However, colors are a bit saturated reds get a tad too bright in some instances.
The K20 Pros telephoto lens is largely avoidable.
Photos snapped with that lens have a lot of noise and grain making the image quite muddy.
The 20-megapixel front camera is nothing to boost off.
It takes decent selfies if you turn all beautification options off.
Whos it for and what else is out there?
It has a great design, a nice notchless screen, solid battery life, and good cameras.
I quite enjoyed consuming media and playing games on this phone.
This makes it a great phone for entertainment.
The K20 pro also has mostly non-intrusive software with the latest Android version already available as an update.
The phones base model with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage sells for Rs.
27,999 ($394).
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
He likes to say “Bleh.
