Google’s latest version of Android – the Android 10 has finally started shipping to devices. The OS was first rolled out for the Pixel devices followed by the OnePlus 7 Pro, the OnePlus 7, the Essential phone, among others. While these were a few smartphones we knew will get Android 10, what we didn’t expect was the Redmi K20 Pro in the list.

Soon after Google announced the Android 10 for the Pixel devices, the OS is now available for the Redmi K20 Pro devices too. The K20 Pro will get features such as dark theme, smart reply, live caption, gesture-based navigation, newer privacy controls, location controls, focus mode, etc.

The roll out may not be available to you directly and might take a week to be available as Xiaomi is gradually rolling out only selected users will get it first. The company is also asking interested users to fill a Google form and enter details like -- Mi Community profile link, Mi Community ID, Telegram app username, and more for Android 10 beta programme.

The registration has already commenced and will be on till September 8. According to Xiaomi, all the users selected for the Android 10 beta testing programme will be offered special Android 10 update, and the group will be called 'Android 10 Tester.'

The Redmi K20 Pro sports a 6.39-inch 19.5:9 full HD+ AMOLED horizon display offering a screen to body ratio of 91.9 percent, one of the largest in the industry. This big-screen ratio can be attributed to 20MP pop-up camera. And while you must have seen a pop-up camera on most of the other smartphones, what makes Redmi K20 Pro unique is the inclusion of LED that sits on the top of the pop-up camera and lights up when you opt for selfies. The pop-up mechanism is tested to work at least 300,000 times, thus you can open it for almost 100 times a day without an issue.

For mobile photography, the Redmi K20 Pro comes with an AI triple camera setup, comprising of a 48MP main camera using Sony IMX586 sensor, an 8MP telephoto and a 13MP wide-angle.
