The Redmi K20 Pro Has a Serious Display Issue
/The Redmi K20 Pro has launched to worldwide success, with many quickly calling it a perfect phone. After much appraise, the Redmi K20 Pro Telegram community was quick to find that a display issue prevents the device from being all too perfect.
As a user first noticed, by holding two fingers still in the display, and then running a third finger alongside the edges of the device’s screen, an electrical stutter can be seen, creating distortion in both the still fingers despite there not being any movement.
While for the average issue this display issue may not seem like a dealbreaker, gamers, specifically PUBG fanatics, have been quick to voice their concerns. In that game, a “claw” setup - which requires more than three fingers on screen at a time - is not only ineffective but hard to pull off with the K20 Pro, driving home disappointment to the many buyers who saw gaming as the device’s forte.
To make matters worse, the Redmi K20 Telegram community was also quick to notice that this issue can be found in other Xiaomi devices, most notably the Xiaomi Mi 9, the company’s most recent flagship. To most people’s surprise, the issue becomes less noticeable when the device is either on a case or not laying flat on a table, and is completely gone as soon as the device is plugged into an outlet. This has led some to speculate that the issue may be caused by electric or shielding issue in the device’s display.
Xiaomi has not yet publicly addressed the issue, and as of this report, an official fix has not been discovered by the Xiaomi and Redmi communities.
