The K20 Pro, Xiaomi’s latest smartphone, has left fans unhappy with its price. Manu Kumar Jain, the Managing Director of Xiaomi India, took to Twitter to explain why the K20 Pro is more expensive in the Indian market than in China.
Import duties being one factor, the K20 Pro is also expensive because it’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset — a relatively new offering by the microchip manufacturer. And, despite its price, it's still the cheapest smartphone in India with the Snapdragon 855.
