Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is all set to launch its new smartphones Redmi K20 and K20 Pro in India on July 15.

"Mi fans! Here's a KNOCKOUT announcement! #RedmiK20 and #RedmiK20Pro are launching in India within 6 months.. ooops, I meant 6 weeks," Xiaomi's India Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain said in a tweet on Monday.

In terms of specifications, both the devices offer a 6.39-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a pop-up selfie camera.

The standard version is powered by a Snapdragon 730 chipset, which is accompanied by up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.

The flagship Redmi K20 Pro version comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB internal storage.
