Nova 5i Pro With Kirin 810 Thrashes Redmi K20 In Geekbench

Earlier this month, Xiaomi launched the Redmi K20 in India whose key highlighting features include the Snapdragon 730 SoC, Indisplay fingerprint scanner and a motorised popup camera. As it seemed, Xiaomi has outperformed all its competitors, the world’s second largest manufacturer, Huawei might have a wild card up its sleeve which holds the potential to steal the K20’s thunder.

Along with Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro, which were launched last month, Huawei was also expected to announce the Nova 5i Pro which was nowhere to be found. Earlier this week, the promotional material of the smartphone was leaked and now, its performance estimates have also been revealed in the form of Geekbench benchmark. Surprisinlgy, the Nova 5i Pro with the Kirin 810 has managed to surpass Redmi K20 with a substanial margin.

Following are the single core and multi core Geekbench results of the two smartphones (1,2):

	Redmi K20	Huawei Nova 5i Pro
Single Core	2514	2782
Multi Core	6671	7694

Apparently, the Huawei Nova 5i Pro has much higher multi core score and slightly higher single core score than the Redmi K20. Although benchmarks are not the only factor that determine the performance of a device, but sheer horse power definitely has an upper hand.

Moving ahead, the Nova 5i Pro has been listed on the mandatory certification website TENAA, that has unconvered all its specs allowing for a detailed spec comparison between the two mid range devices.

Huawei Nova 5i Pro vs Redmi K20, Specs Comparison

Specification	Redmi K20	Huawei Nova 5i Pro
DISPLAY	6.39 inch, Super AMOLED, Popup Camera	6.26 inch, Punch Hole Camera
PROCESSOR	Snapdragon 730, 8 nm	Kirin 810, 7 nm
MEMORY	6 GB + 64 GB 6 GB + 128 GB	8 GB + 128 GB 8 GB + 256 GB
SOFTWARE	Android 9 Pie	Android 9 Pie
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5, 4G VoLTE	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5, 4G VoLTE
CAMERA	48 MP 8 MP 12 MP	48 MP 8 MP 2 MP 2 MP
BATTERY	4000 mAh 18 W Charging	4000 mAh 20 W
Security	In Display	Rear Mounted

Although the official price of the Nova 5i Pro is yet to be revealed, the company is expected to sell the handset at an aggressive price point as observed with the Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro whose prices are as follows:

	Nova 5	Nova 5 Pro
8 GB + 128 GB	CNY 2,799 (approx. Rs.28,300)	(8 GB + 128 GB): CNY 2,999 (approx. Rs. 30,400)
8 GB + 256 GB		(8 GB + 256 GB) CNY 3,399 (approx. Rs. 34,400) – 256GB

We believe, if the company is able to price the Nova 5i Pro close to the K20 i.e in the range of Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000, Huawei offering can pose a serious threat to the latter. The launch of the Nova 5i Pro is expected to happen before the end of August.

Realme X Vs Redmi K20 : Which One Should You Pick?

Earlier this month, Realme launched the Realme X mid-range handset which due to its value for money was able to turn a lot of heads. Now, India’s number one smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi has launched its mid-ranger which is dubbed the Redmi K20. Due to similar pricing and features of the two handset, a confusing situation for the end-user has manifested. In this article, we will look into each and every aspect of both devices which will subsequently help the reader in selecting the best choice based on their needs and requirements.

Design and Build

Due to the highly subjective point of view of different human beings, it is hard to state which smartphone out of the two has a better design. Nevertheless, we can still place the Realme X and Redmi K20 head to head, on behalf of aspects like the type of notch and materials used.

In terms of build, the Redmi K20 has glass on both the front and back which is held together with an aluminium alloy chassis. On the other hand, the Realme X has front glass but both the rear panel and chassis of the smartphone are made of hard plastic. Besides both devices have a motorised module on top which houses the front-facing selfie camera.

Due to a glass back which is extremely hard to scratch and an ultra-durable aluminium chassis, the winner of this round we feel is the Redmi K20.

Display

The display of any smartphone is definitely one of its most crucial feature and the contenders in this face-off are no exception. The Redmi K20 features a 6.39 inch display whereas the Realme X has a 6.53 inch display which is a tad better larger. Both smartphones are equipped with a Super AMOLED display which provides for adequately bright illumination and great viewing angles.

Moreover, display on both the Realme X and Redmi K20 is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. In terms of the pixel density, the display on the former has a ppi of 394 ppi while the latter has a display with 403 ppi. Even though Redmi K20’s display has slightly higher pixel density, the difference is inconsiderable. Besides human eye can only different pixels if the density is below 326 ppi.

Therefore, due to a larger sized display, the winner of this round, according to us is the Realme X.

Battery

Another important factor that buyers consider while choosing a smartphone is battery capacity. The Realme X has a 3765 mAh battery while the Redmi K20 has a 4,000 mAh battery. Both handsets also support fast charging, the former supports 18 W Qualcomm Quick charge technology whereas the latter supports 20 W VOOC 3.0 proprietary charging technology.

Even though there is negligible difference between the battery capacities on the Realme X and the Redmi K20, Xiaomi’s offering is able to steer ahead due to the Snapdragon 730 SoC which is manufactured using 8 nm technology. In comparison, the Snapdragon 710 on the Realme smartphone is manufactured using 10 nm process.

Though, not by a huge margin, the Redmi K20 is able to regain its lead in the battery department.

Camera

For photography, the Redmi K20 has a total of four cameras out of which three are placed on the rear and one selfie sensor is housed in the motorised pop-up camera module. On the contrary, the Realme X only has a total of 3 cameras, out of which two are present on the back and one sensor is placed in the popup module on top.

Speaking of resolution, the Realme X has a 16 MP sensor while the Redmi K20 is equipped with a 20 MP shooter. Nevertheless, a lot is dependent on the image processing and both the companies load their handsets with tons of artificial photo and video enhancing capabilities. Hence, we cannot pick an outright winner in the front camera department. Though the things are a bit different when it comes to the rear camera setup.

The triple camera setup on the Redmi K20 is comprised of an f/1.8 aperture equipped 48 MP Sony IMX 582 sensor, 8 MP telephoto sensor and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. The Realme X, on the other hand, has a 48 MP Sony IMX 586 sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor. On paper, the Sony IMX 586 on the latter is better than the IMX 582 on the Redmi K20. The additional ultrawide and telephoto sensor provide the Xiaomi’s offering with a clear advantage.

The winner in the photography domain, according to us is the Redmi K20. For users who are interested in knowing the video capturing capability, both devices can capture 2160p videos from the rear camera setup and 1080p videos at 30 fps from the single selfie camera.

Chipset

The Realme X features the Snapdragon 710 SoC while the Redmi K20 features the Snapdragon 730 SoC. Both the chipsets are manufactured by Qualcomm and have Octa-Core CPU. As previously mentioned, the Snapdragon 730 is fabricated using 8 nm process whereas the Snapdragon 710 is manufactured using 10 nm process.

Besides being more power-efficient, the Snapdragon 730 also incorporates the superior 618 GPU. Hence, with the better overall chipset, the Redmi K20 steer far ahead from the Realme X.

Other Notable Features

Connectivity options on both the Redmi K20 and the Realme X are similar. The two devices support 802.11 ac Wi-fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Dual 4G VoLTE and USB Type C ports. But, the offering from Xiaomi additionally supports NFC which is used for wireless payments and instantly connecting or sharing data between compatible handsets.

Moreover, the Redmi K20 has a USB C 2.0 port which offers faster data transfer speed than USB C 1.0 which is present on its contender. For biometric security, both smartphones also have an indisplay fingerprint scanner, in addition to face unlock and the conventional screen lock. The two devices also support 3.5 mm audio jack which is slowly becoming a novelty.

Due to built-in NFC support and faster USB C technology, the Redmi K20 once manages to defeat the Realme X.

Price

Both the Redmi K20 and Realme X are offered in two storage options for which the price is as follows:

Realme X	Redmi K20
4 GB + 128 GB: 15,999	6 GB + 64 GB: 21,999
8 GB + 128 GB: 19,999	6 GB + 128 GB: 23,999
