For example, Xiaomi Mi 6X was released in China and it was renamed as Xiaomi Mi A2 for other markets. Similarly, Redmi 5 Plus was released in China and was renamed as Redmi Note 5 in India. Xiaomi Mi 9T has now joined the bandwagon and will be the name of the Redmi K20 phone in other countries apart from China (and India).
Xiaomi recently launched Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro in China on 28th of May. The company has also confirmed that the K20 series phones will be released in India in mid-July. Xiaomi Mi 9 was released in February 2019 and the company will officially release the ‘T’ variant on June 12, which is about a week from now.
