Some new details may have emerged relating to the upcoming Redmi K50 and K50 Pro smartphones, as shown by renders from a China-based tipster. The new Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are billed for unveiling in early 2022 with rumors pointing to a launch before February 2022.
In addition, some current leaks by tipsters Bald Panda and Digital Chat Station indicate that the three scheduled models in the K50 series (the K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+) will utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset, with up to 67W charging potential guaranteed. The design will have E5 luminescent material with a 2K display and 120Hz refresh rate.
The new renders also indicate that the K50 lineup bears some close semblance with Huawei’s P50 concerning the camera housing setup. It seems that a centered punch hole camera may be in the offing for the front-facing camera, although this remains in the realm of speculation. Others have posited that an under-display camera may take the position of the centered punch hole, although this is highly improbable. The rear camera setup will also sport a bump, and this also finds close semblance with the Huawei P50.
Xiaomi had previously provided some teasers on the flagship Redmi K50 series, better screen quality on offer, and improved charging speeds. Xiaomi has enjoyed a great relationship with chipmaker Qualcomm and is usually among the first smartphone manufacturers to launch Qualcomm’s new products, as predicted for the new chipset from Qualcomm – the Snapdragon 865.
Several key specs of the Realme K50 series are still lacking at this time. However, we are still far away from the projected launch of the devices, as Xiaomi is currently gearing up for the launch of the K40 series.
