Xiaomi just launched the Redmi K20 Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, triple rear cameras and a 20MP popup selfie camera in China. The phone will go on sale from June 1, 2019, but it has already been added to the Android Q beta testing program.

A post on Xiaomi’s global website states that the Redmi K20 Pro is now the third phone from the company to be included in the beta testing program of the Android Q. However, Google’s website does not show the Redmi K20 Pro in its official list of phones eligible for Android Q beta builds.

As of now, the list includes only two Xiaomi phonesMi 9 and Mi Mix 3 5G. These two phones were added to the Android Q beta testing list from the time Google announced phones eligible for the Android Q beta 3 at the I/O 2019.

Xiaomi says that the Android beta build for the Redmi K20 Pro is available to download but it is compatible only with the Redmi K20 Pro’s China variant. As of now, the company has not launched the flagship device outside China.

It is expected to launch the Redmi K20 Pro in India soon, given Redmi India official account tweeting about it and the company running ads for the phone in the country.
