Users are dissatisfied with the cost of Redmi K20 and demand to lower prices through a petition

In late May, the sub-brand Xiaomi Redmi introduced two new smartphone models - the Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro. In India, they entered

on sale recently, but users are already unhappy.

What's the matter?

For the people of India, the Redmi K20 seemed too expensive. Its price in China is $ 290, in India the price tags start from 22 thousand rupees, which is about $ 320.

An example is Realme X: for 20 thousand rupees you can buy a version with 8/128 GB of memory, and not 6/64 GB, like the Redmi K20. True, it does not take into account that the processor of the Redmi K20 is more productive (Snapdragon 730 vs. Snapdragon 710), and the cameras are different.

Users went beyond the usual perturbations and made a petition demanding to reduce the price of a smartphone. At the time of writing the news, these requirements were supported by more than 3,200 out of 5,000 people needed.

Really expensive?

The leader of the Xiaomi division had to take the rapIndia Manu Kumar Jain (Manu Kumar Jain), which reached the complaints of local residents. According to him, the processors are not cheap now, but the Redmi K20 Pro is the most affordable smartphone in India with a Snapdragon 855 chip.

In addition, the owners of the Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro have become happy owners of smartphones without ads, unlike other models of the company.

Recall that we have released only the younger version of the Redmi K20, but under a different name - Xiaomi Mi 9T. In Europe, prices start at € 329, in Ukraine - from 9,999 hryvnia, and so far no one complains.
