K20 Pro vs. Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Which should you buy

If you’re thinking about buying a new smartphone that comes loaded with features, but won’t set you back too much, chances are that you’ve already shortlisted Redmi smartphones. Xiaomi has been the most disruptive brand ever since it entered the Indian smartphone market, offering excellent smartphones at pocket-friendly prices. Two of Xiaomi’s top-rated phones in the mid-range segment are the Redmi K20 Pro, and the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.

Redmi, a sub-brand of Xiaomi which offers affordable smartphones has been the go-to brand for budget-conscious and budget-sensitive consumers. With India now boasting of more than half a billion smartphone users, there exists a massive market to cater to, and Redmi has been offering exceptional smartphone models over the past 4-5 years, primarily targeting the budget and mid-range segments.

If you’ve zeroed in on Redmi K20 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, but do not know the feature difference between the two, we break things down for you so that you can make an informed decision.

Display
When it comes to the display, the Note 9 Pro Max comes with a massive 6.67-inch screen, while K20 Pro flaunts a 6.39-inch display. If you want a large screen for an immersive viewing and gaming experience, then you’d be better off purchasing Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.

Storage
Talking about storage capacity, the K20 Pro comes equipped with an internal storage of 128GB, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max comes with just 64GB capacity. However, users can increase the storage capacity for Note 9 Pro Max via microSD card, but that provision isn’t available for K20 Pro.

RAM
Both smartphones come with 6GB RAM, so there isn’t much to differentiate here. Users can use both the handsets to play games or to multitask with ease, and get their work done without any hassles.

Processor
This is relatively easy to answer. The Redmi K20 Pro comes with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 855 chipset, while the Note 9 Pro Max is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, which is a mid-range chipset. Furthermore, the K20 Pro also packs Adreno 640 GPU, while the Note 9 Pro Max comes with Adreno 618 GPU. When we look at the benchmarks and analyze the performance metrics, the Redmi K20 Pro is faster and delivers a better user experience than the Note 9 Pro Max.

Cameras
You would be surprised to know that the K20 Pro sports a triple rear camera array with a 48MP primary shooter, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max packs a quad-rear camera set-up, with an impressive 64MP primary sensor! On the front, K20 Pro houses a 20MP pop-up selfie camera, while the Note 9 Pro Max comes with a 32MP camera. Both the smartphones deliver a good photography experience, but in the sub-15K segment, there are very few phones that are as impressive as Note 9 Pro Max.

Battery
K20 Pro packs a 4,000mAh battery under the hood, while Note 9 Pro Max comes with a whopping 5,020mAh battery. Both phones support fast charging, which, once again plays in favor of the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.

By looking at these features, one can surmise (without actually using the phone) that Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is the better value-for-money smartphone. You can purchase one of these two models, or any smartphone of your liking from the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store. Furthermore, you can use the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card to make the purchase and pay for the phone in easy EMIs.
