Redmi K20 Pro vs Vivo V15 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A70: Design, Build
While all three phones in this comparison come with glossy rear panels, only the Redmi K20 makes use of glass back there, while the other two feature plastic bodies. In fact, Xiaomi has used Gorilla Glass 5 on the back of the Redmi K20 Pro, making it that much more resistant to damage. Another similarity between these devices is with the use of in-display fingerprint scanners as their primary biometric unlock options.
