Xiaomi’s Redmi is expected to bring the successor of the Redmi K40 series soon and the rumours for it have started pouring in. The successor Redmi K50 has already been subject to a few leaks and is touted to launch anytime soon. Now, the popular tipster @DigitalChatStation has shared its launch timelines giving us an idea of its arrival.
According to the tipster, the Redmi K50 series will debut next year. It is touted to arrive by the end of February in China. Reportedly, the phone will have multiple models, which is obvious considering the many variants of the Redmi K40 series. As per reports, the phone will come with four different chipsets – Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Snapdragon 870, MediaTek Dimensity 7000, and Dimensity 9000.
Previous leaks revealed that the K50 series phones will boot MIUI 13 straight out of the box. Considering that the launch is in February it isn’t a surprise anymore since the MIUI 13 would debut this month itself. Now, it remains to be seen if it debuts with Android 12 based MIUI or Android 11 based MIUI.
Nonetheless, there’s still plenty of time until we see the device officially on the market. As for now, we have a few specs of the phones, thanks to the leakers and certifications. The Redmi K50 is slated to have codenames – Matisse and Rubens which may debut as two models with Matisse powering Dimensity 9000 SoC, the much-rumoured gaming model.
The Matisse a.k.a the Dimensity 9000 powered gaming K50 phone will come with either 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rate screen. It is said to be an OLED screen that will double up as an in-display fingerprint scanner for added security. It is expected to have a 64MP quad-camera system and it may come with some cooling mechanism considering that it will be a gaming phone. This device may be called as Redmi K50 Gaming Pro model.
Furthermore, the phone codenamed Rubens is expected to be the Redmi K50 Gaming Standard model powering Dimensity 7000. It may have a 64MP triple camera system followed by some cooling mechanism similar to the Matisse, the Gaming Pro model.
The details regarding the Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered K50 models are yet to be learned. Once we learn more information on the same, we’ll update you.
