Earlier this month, a Chinese tipster claimed that the Redmi K50 series will come with four different chipsets such as Snapdragon 870, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Dimensity 7000, and Dimensity 9000. Now, reliable tipster, Digital Chat Station has also tipped on the SoCs that will power some of the Redmi K50 phones.
According to the tipster, the Redmi K50 models will come preinstalled with the latest MIUI 13. Past reports have claimed that even the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X that are expected to launch in December will arrive with MIUI 13 preinstalled. However, it is unclear whether these devices will get MIUI 13 based on Android 12 or Android 11.
The tipster has reiterated that the Redmi K50 models will feature the Dimensity 7000 and Dimensity 9000 chipsets. He added that the performance of these chipsets is not as fast as that of the Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoCs.
MediaTek had recently announced the Dimensity 9000 as the world’s first SoC built with TSMC’s 4nm processing technology. The Dimensity 7000 is yet to go official.
It is speculated that Xiaomi devices codenamed Matisse (L10 shortened model number) and Rubens (L11A shortened model number) may debut in the Chinese market as the Redmi K50 series gaming smartphones. It is believed that the Matisse model will be powered by the Dimensity 9000 SoC. This phone is speculated to carry POCO branding in other markets. This device is speculated to feature specs like a 120Hz or 144Hz OLED screen, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a 64-megapixel + 13-mgeapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad-camera unit. It is speculated that there is another variant of this phone with a 108-megapixel primary camera. This phone may launch in the Chinese market as the Redmi K50 Gaming or K50 Gaming Pro and it may arrive as the POCO F4 GT in other markets.
On the other hand, the Xiaomi Rubens debuted as the Redmi K50 Gaming Standard Edition. It is likely to feature the Dimensity 7000 and a triple camera unit led by a 64-megapixel camera.
