Redmi K20 Pro, according to Canalys’s report, is the top 1 flagship device with a price tag of over $300 (roughly Rs. 21,400) in the third quarter of this year. The handset was first announced back in July. Since then, it has become one of the best-sellers in the segment, as per the report. The lineup includes the vanilla Redmi K20 and a more premium Redmi K20 Pro. While the former comes with a Snapdragon 730 chipset, the latter is packed with a Snapdragon 855 SoC. In the Xiaomi Black Friday sale, the company offered an Rs. 2,000 discount for the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro. Sadly, the sale already ended on 2 December.

The Redmi K20 Pro being at the top 1 flagship smartphone in the price range of over $300 is quite impressive considering the fact that there were mixed responses. Several believed that its price was higher than they expected. However, thanks to the discounts that Xiaomi offers, the handset did pretty well in the Diwali With Mi & Black Friday sales.
