@Nuno Herdeiro don't buy Samsung then. Don't buy one plus then. Literally don't buy any phone but pixels and iPhones or Mates because they're the only phones with good post processing. Btw you're saying that you would pay like £400 extra just to get a phone with good post processing instead of getting gcam?
@DipsZ no I meant because the selfie cam isn't the best. And I was impling that if you buy this found, use gcam for better selfies. I'm not talking about marques not identifing the broken camera because he was lazy and didn't read it's MPs and so he doesn't realise it's a hardware problem.
@Nuno Herdeiro for the price, the a series is lackluster compared to Xiaomi but if you want a flagship, go ahead with a galaxy phone. Nothing wrong with those but some minor bad ram management.
I just got this phone and all I can say is...go for it guys. It's incredibly good. I am a flagship consumer since 5 years ago and this phone feels just like a flagship. And for this price....is unbeatable.
Go for it bro. The specs are so awesome and it's good for gaming. I bought the Mi 9T (aka the K20) it doesn't even lagging or stuck. It's really a good bargain.
@Alcatraz TM PUBGM has horrid graphics. COD Mobile has good graphics when I tested it. I think there are games with better graphics, such as Fortnite and Minecraft.
@@Flamuski pubg is still a good test. With mi A1 which is like 2016? I barely get 30fps while on codm i got solid 30fps and barely dipped below. Lets be honest, this is a phone, not a pc. What games u want to use as a benchmark if not mainstream games? Lmao.
Frankie I liked your review more lol. It seems Marques has the China version with a custom ROM as it has Google Play. The mi 9t its really smooth and with its Global Rom and less MIUI 10. Either his cel has a defect on its FF camera or the custom rom just blew it all up as it has been said in XDA. He shouldve done the comparison with the MI 9t as it's much more smoother with the global Rom
@@nuplexyt the K20 Pro for sure....I have it.... If you're a TH-camr, just remember...... extensive streaming and video exporting can heat the phone up but for extensive max graphics settings gaming.....it's amazing. I mean the Snapdragon 855 is like the next to the best chipset for mobile(the best being SD 865). So I'd recommend it 100% cuz I've been using it for 7 months and it's just amazing. :)

He is not wrong mate. I got the phone. The selfie u get from the stock camera is just downright garbage. I installed the GCam port and the selfies instantly became much better. The rear camera is surprisingly good BTW.
@@TheShamRulz i was just thinking about Google camera it should turn the front camera to another level because i can see that the problem is sowftwear based. So how it feels ?
There's some problem in your selfie camera, mine works just fine. Also next time you use k20 pro turn on system wide dark mode and install pixel icon pack. Makes things so much better.
didn't get spooked! i use dark mode youtube baby ;) haha, also, does the MiUI have a dark mode feature? and what do the google pixel icon packs do for the phones aesthetic
2021 and this phone still performs like a beast for me. I even play genshin impact with customized setup (60fps) using this phone. Although, I need blackshark funcooler pro to fix the heating issue during high performance setup otherwise medium setup will do. THANKS XIAOMI!
Hey buddy, i bought my k20pro phone in 2020. It's 2023 about a 50days more then perfect 3 yrs after i first used it. I finally grew out of it but it was my first phone, got in 10th grade. Now i am finally going to college. It was a great memory. Definitely had all i could ask from a phone
@@pambrosy Exactly my thought I made a comment about it, I have the mi 9T and the front facing camera quality is good ,you can get excellent selfies with gcam. Redmi k20 pro being more powerful should even be better not worse
Google tracks your search results, history and the video you are currently watching and it gives you ads based on that so it is normal that you get an ad about the k20 pro when you are watching a video about it
Since phones have started to ditch the notch and missing LEDs for notifications. Perhaps some phone manufacturers could include a software feature that wound just glow a small section of the screen itself in different colours to give out notifications instead. And have a shifting algorithm built in that shifts the area of LEDs that glow to prevent uneven screen burn.
@@Raayn69 Im satisfied with the performance , the back camera is suprisingly good , especially the 4K 60fps video recording , all of my apps run smooth , and the cooling system on this phone are one of the best, but it can get hot while fast charging but thats common sense, just dont use it too much while charging. , The only time that it gets reasonably hot , is while gaming. But my favorite part of all , the fast charging and big battery , I can charge 15min from 30% to 80% and used it hours and hours and still have above 20% the next morning .. the cons are the selfie camera kinda sucks , but its still cool, just not as the rest of this phone and its sliperry , I have an oily hands so theres no way I can use it properly without a casing, overall its still comfortable and fun to use for a high performance low budget phone .. sorry for my bad english . Its my 2nd language

imagine how much the phone would have cost if they just got rid of the pop up camera all together and went with a no front camera phone

Just use gcam anyway
@Nuno Herdeiro don't buy Samsung then. Don't buy one plus then. Literally don't buy any phone but pixels and iPhones or Mates because they're the only phones with good post processing. Btw you're saying that you would pay like £400 extra just to get a phone with good post processing instead of getting gcam?
@DipsZ no I meant because the selfie cam isn't the best. And I was impling that if you buy this found, use gcam for better selfies. I'm not talking about marques not identifing the broken camera because he was lazy and didn't read it's MPs and so he doesn't realise it's a hardware problem.
@Nuno Herdeiro for the price, the a series is lackluster compared to Xiaomi but if you want a flagship, go ahead with a galaxy phone. Nothing wrong with those but some minor bad ram management.
You got a defective phone with broken selfie camera. There`s air between glass and camera and its misaligned, you can see that in closeups.

Hey Frankie
Keep swimmin keep swimmin !!
Why are you not verified?
Frankie I liked your review more lol. It seems Marques has the China version with a custom ROM as it has Google Play. The mi 9t its really smooth and with its Global Rom and less MIUI 10. Either his cel has a defect on its FF camera or the custom rom just blew it all up as it has been said in XDA. He shouldve done the comparison with the MI 9t as it's much more smoother with the global Rom

So I'd recommend it 100% cuz I've been using it for 7 months and it's just amazing.

Your phone has a "defective" front camera cuz generally it has a great front camera performance !!!
it doesn't. Its trash.

He is not wrong mate. I got the phone. The selfie u get from the stock camera is just downright garbage. I installed the GCam port and the selfies instantly became much better. The rear camera is surprisingly good BTW.

Since phones have started to ditch the notch and missing LEDs for notifications. Perhaps some phone manufacturers could include a software feature that wound just glow a small section of the screen itself in different colours to give out notifications instead. And have a shifting algorithm built in that shifts the area of LEDs that glow to prevent uneven screen burn.

Bro how is your experience with the mobile so far..hope you are enjoying
@@Raayn69 Im satisfied with the performance , the back camera is suprisingly good , especially the 4K 60fps video recording , all of my apps run smooth , and the cooling system on this phone are one of the best, but it can get hot while fast charging but thats common sense, just dont use it too much while charging. , The only time that it gets reasonably hot , is while gaming. But my favorite part of all , the fast charging and big battery , I can charge 15min from 30% to 80% and used it hours and hours and still have above 20% the next morning .. the cons are the selfie camera kinda sucks , but its still cool, just not as the rest of this phone and its sliperry , I have an oily hands so theres no way I can use it properly without a casing, overall its still comfortable and fun to use for a high performance low budget phone .. sorry for my bad english . Its my 2nd language

Front Camera:
Someone else (who has dark skin) had the same problem. The issue, I'm pretty sure, is that the software is trying to lighten up his face. It's made by a Chinese company where people want white skin.
