Xiaomi announced an Alpha Sale for its upcoming Redmi K20 series smartphones in India on July 12, 2019, where interested buyers can pre-book the device for themselves. The Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro are scheduled to launch on July 17 in the country, however, the company is giving an option to reserve a unit of the K20 series device before it reaches the wider market.
The Alpha Sale will commence at 12 noon on July 12. Buyers can pre-book the upcoming devices for a token amount of Rs 855 across Mi.com and Flipkart. This will guarantee a Redmi K20 or Redmi K20 Pro device for the customer during the first sale. The final check out for the purchase will be announced on the July 17 launch.
In case a person, who pre-booked the Redmi K20 series smartphone, doesn’t end up buying the device, the pre-booking amount will be refunded to the respective Mi.com account. Flipkart users will be given the amount back in the form of a coupon that can be used to purchase any item on the platform.
