Among other attractive features, the Redmi K20 is confirmed to have Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 SoC, Game Turbo 2.0, and seventh-generation in-display fingerprint sensor. The upcoming Redmi phone was also recently teased to come with a DC Dimming-supported display. Alongside the new phones, a new Redmi-series laptop, likely to be called RedmiBook, is expected to debut at today's event as well.
