The Redmi K50 series is officially confirmed to launch in China next month as revealed earlier by Redmi themselves. However, one Redmi K50 series device, the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition in particular, has been recently spotted online several times on various platforms such as benchmarking websites like Geekbench 5 and certification databases like TENAA and 3C certification.
The first source comes from China’s 3C electronics certification database. The 3C certification shows the device’s model number is 21121210C, and that it will come with a staggering 120W fast-charging power adaptor in the box. As usual, the 3C listing doesn’t reveal any other details about the device, but the model number appears again on a TENAA listing, and Geekbench 5.
In Geekbench 5, the Xiaomi 21121210C scored 1226 points in the single-core tests and 3726 in the multi-core tests. These scores are just merely behind the Xiaomi 12 Pro scores, and the test heavily indicates the model is using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC under the hood. For context, the Geekbench listing also reveals that the model is sporting an octa-core processor with a 1 + 3 + 4 core configuration, with one performance core at 3.0GHz peak clock frequency. It can be deduced that this is the Cortex-X2 core present in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
The Geekbench results also reveal that the model tested is equipped with 12GB of RAM and is running on Android 12. This further solidifies that the Redmi K50 series will be launched with MIUI 13 on Android 12.
As for why the model number Xiaomi 21121210C was linked to the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is because previous leaks from insiders in China mentioned that the Xiaomi 21121210C is the model number for the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.
In addition to sporting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and 120W fast charging, Redmi themselves have also officially confirmed that one of the Redmi K50 devices will be sporting a 4700mAh battery and a Double VC Cooling System inside to keep the performance smooth under intensive workloads.
