How to participate in Redmi K20, K20 Pro Alpha Sale

After **launching Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in China** recently, Xiaomi is all set to **launch the smartphones in India on 17 July** . Replacing the iconic flash sale model, for the new Redmi phones, Xiaomi has come up with an interesting new format **called Alpha Sale** . But to participate in the Alpha sale, you will need to get an access pass from  the company website or  Flipkart starting 12.00 pm today (12 July).

The smartphones will be sold on a first come first serve basis, which means, if you want to buy a Redmi K20 or Redmi K20 Pro you will have to be quick on your feet (or fingers, because click..click) to book the smartphone. The Alpha pass is supposed to help you in this process. Now that you are curious enough for the Alpha pass, here is a guide on how to get them.

Redmi K20 Pro Specs

Redmi’s ‘Flagship Killer 2.0’ has certainly got the flagship-level internals as well. Powering the device is a Snapdragon 855 SoC which is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The device runs on Android 9.0 Pie along with Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 skin overlaying it. In terms of optics, the Redmi K20 Pro has triple rear cameras which consist of a 48 MP primary sensor + 13 MP ultra-wide sensor + 8 MP telephoto lens with 2X optical zoom. It will have an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Redmi K20 Specs

Redmi K20 packs in the Snapdragon 730 and also has the Sony IMX582 sensor instead of Redmi K20 Pro’s IMX586. Rest, all other specs remain the same except for an 18W fast charging support instead of 27W. Since Xiaomi has been calling this Flagship Killer 2.0, we expect the company will likely price the phone right in the range of the  OnePlus 7 (review)  which is priced at Rs 32,999.
