Redmi has been teasing its new flagship smartphone for some time now.

Redmi has now finally announced, via a Weibo post, that the Redmi K20 will be launched on May 28 in China. Additionally, via other Weibo posts, the company has teased a triple camera setup on the device, which might consist of a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor, and a pop-up module for the front-camera setup.
The upcoming Redmi K20 is being teased to be a ‘Flagship Killer’ and the company recently took a jab at OnePlus with the same tagline.
