In a separate report, a 12GB RAM variant of the Redmi K20 Pro was seen listed on the database of Chinese regulatory authority TENAA. This would make the Redmi K20 Pro available in 6, 8 and 12GB of RAM when it launches in other markets like India.
The Redmi K20 Pro sports a Full HD+ 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display with a Gorilla Glass 6 protection. Redmi says that the display offers a 91.6 percent screen-to-body-ratio, and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the phone features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
