Do you remember the Redmi flagship that was rumored to be called ‘Redmi X’? Finally! After a long wait, Redmi’s General Manager Lu Weibing has confirmed the name. The smartphone will be called K20, with the K being “Killer”.
Redmi believes the phone will be a smartphone killer, hence the name. If I recall correctly, A few weeks back, Lu Weibing gave a statement on the Chinese microblogging site where he cleared out that the flagship will not be called ‘Redmi X’ rather its name will be much more ‘interesting’ and this seems anything but interesting.
Before Weibing took to Weibo for the announcement, rumors had stated that the smartphone will be called K20 or K20 pro. The leak was confirmed after Weibing’s little announcement.
The general manager has not revealed the launch date of the ‘flagship killer’ yet but we believe it will be launched in China at the end of this month.
