Yeah j used gcam alot on my op3, I haven’t taken many photos yet with the k20pro so I can’t compare right now. But just quick look it is sharper and gets more detail but that’s to be expected somewhat.

Not to worry I’m sure theres some awesome people out there that will be pushing out a gcam for the k20pro soon enough.

The sides of the pop up camera are transparent, the light is just for show, serves no purpose other than to look cool I guess. You can turn it off in the settings which I did

At the top of the pop up camera is a small ring that is supposed to be the notification light and when charging it lights up but really quite useless since no one looks at the top of the phone and you won’t see it 95% of the time

hi,

So i ran a test and the security level is L3 that means the phone can play netflix and prime video but streaming services will be capped at 480p.

Yea it has cam2 api so gcam would work and results would be good.

Thanks for sharing the results.

I want this phone but i live in the UK should i be ok with the chinese version you don’t need a chinese number like vivo

I’ve edited my original post and added some quick photos, it’s raining so maybe I’ll make a video later or tomorrow.

What does it mean?

Also how do I check for cam2 API?

How is the quality of the AMOLED panel used in it compared to that of OP7(not pro)?

Wow. That looks excellent for a phone this price.

Edit. Can this phone play Netflix at FHD?

hi,

So i ran a test and the security level is L3 that means the phone can play netflix and prime video but streaming services will be capped at 480p.

I was having issue with he screen as the screen was of local company after I broke it once. Also had to change the phone 2.5 years is more than enough.

K20pro seems to be good till now. One problem i am facing is with front camera giving fake images high yellow and reds.

Spent alot of time at the mi store and couldn’t really feel any difference at all between the mi9 and the k20pro

What are the USB copying speeds like from a PC? And does it support Display Port alt mode over the Type-C port? Probably not, but I’m still hopeful.

How is the fingerprint scanner in k20 doing. I have come to love the physical front facing button on OP3

Hey man, yeah maybe the Chinese version is optimized for the china assistant, thankyou for the reply! hope you enjoying it! 😀

I’m planning to upgrade from my trusty OnePlus 3T as well. Was torn between the K20 Pro, Zenfone 6 and the Red Magic 3. But the K20 Pro meets all my requirements while still being cheaper than the other two. Also, before my 3T, I had a Mi 3 so I’m quite familiar with MIUI.

still figuring it out and learning miui.

already missing some OOS features like the screen off gestures i used for music control

Well, just grab a large file, copy it and measure how many seconds it takes. Then divide file size by time.

You can only test the second one if you have a Type-C to DP or HDMI adapter. Then it’s as simple as connecting it to a display and seeing if it works or not.

Yesyes I know sorry I couldn’t remember exactly..

Op3 is 3 yrs old. Remember there was no op4

does the fingerprint scanner work with screen protector?

Have not seen the op7’s in person so I don’t know.

Yeah but the lack of a headphone jack turned me off, the price also is quite a lot more than the k20pro

I’ve added more pictures and videos in the Google photos link in the original post

It’s a slight but noticable upgrade, abit sharper and more contrasty?. Out of the box looking side by side the k20 is a tad cooler in colour but that can be changed and up to preference

My bad, couldn’t remember exactly

is there a way to capture raw (DNG or whatever) photos?

Is there a high quality DAC like the LG ones

I have big hands so it’s not too bad for me, but its not easy to reach across and touch the opposite corner of the screen with your thumb which I could do with my op3. The k20pro is just the slightest bit slimmer and taller.

It is heavier but not by much, you’ll notice it at first but I’m sure you’ll get used to it quick.

Just imagine your op3 is all screen no bezels and no fingerprint scanner.

The balance is fine, I was abit worried at first but have started to adjust my grip. I’m sure you will too over time.

It’s just visually taller not much physically.

Thx for the detailed answer.

For me OP 7 pro’s price was a turn down and OP 7 the notch!!!
I dont know why people accepted the notch thing so easily!

Thanks for the quick reply
Are you interested in buying one?
Maybe in the near future?
If so Please post your experience afterwards.
Thank you.

Thanks a list for thinks you like and u don’t (like do u miss op os) would be great for after a week.
Something like “K20pro after a week”

It’s good, much better than what was on the op3

No worries in audio output

I was worried about the audio, since xiaomi phones arent so good wi5 it. But i heard this device comes with hi res audio, i hope its true

Very interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for when more of the bugs are worked out

How is it? I think I’m just going to wait for the mi10. My phone just updated to 9.0 and there’s no issues with it and runs great

Hi there, thanks for posting up the following. Would it be possible for you to please post up a photo of how the K20 Pro looks in the supplied factory case? Many thanks.

How would you test those 2 things?

If not too technical I can give it a try

Thanks you so much OP for camera test. Can you test portraits mode too ? It doesn’t matter if it’s people or not.

i dont have the 27w charger, sorry.

Tbh i prefer 1+ premium feel instead of those cheap plastic and display is much better than those led/lcd and i hate miui and i m ready to pay a premium only for these features

I pre-ordered the mi9t and I’m also upgrading from the op3, nice to hear

WhatsApp works for me. But Outlook doesn’t.

I tried everything also…

How is the case that comes in the box? Does it feel solid? I saw an unboxing and if I remember correctly it isn’t a tpu one, so could you post a picture of top of the case. I’ve read a lot of your answers, thanks for your time.

I just did! 3T to K20 pro!

Yeah I can’t play any Netflix videos right now so I can’t check yet. Let you know in a few days

Good to know. There were a few posts here that k20 felt inferior to Mi9

Welcome.

Nope, I’ve been trying to get that but can’t do ok Google voice commands. Maybe when they release the global rom it will work

Hey thanks for letting me know!

I got the update yesterday but there was no notice that face unlock was added.

I’ve tried it and we’ll it is quick but it’s just easier to unlock with the fingerprint scanner. No need to swipe up on the lock screen like to use face unlock

Also please list what all features & niceties the camera app has? Like some special modes & level of manual controls available 😇

? It’s glass and metal. There’s no plastic on this device. Also it’s amoled no lcd.

I’m not the biggest fan of miui either but man don’t just hate on something till you at least get to try it out?

I live in HK, and I cant get google play store to work. It gives me DFERH-01 Error. I believe it has to do with [googleapis.cn](https://googleapis.cn) vs [googleapis.com](https://googleapis.com)

​

Could you tell me what version google services you downgraded to?

​

TIA

I’m also planning to upgrade from a Oneplus One to this device.

> The red light effect in the pop up camera can be turned off thankfully.

From where please tell?

Also do you the camera shots are bit yellowish? Mainly front one?

thanks! are there any more colours available to this or is it only red

i’ve been really disappointed with the recent trend of xiaomi to either eliminate the notification light or to make it single colour
