The new phones will feature a 20 megapixel pop-up front camera, which has been adopted by brands like OnePlus, Vivo and Huawei among other. It also sports in-display fingerprint scanner built underneath the 6.3 inch Full HD+ screen.
On the specifications side, the K20 pro comes loaded with the top of the line Snapdragon 855 chipset while the K20 gets its power from the new Snapdragon 730 chipset. The K20 Pro will be available in multiple variants, with up to 8GB RAM in tow.
