The Redmi K50 series will include multiple devices like the predecessor Redmi K40 lineup. A fresh leak by Digital Chat Station has revealed the different processors that power the K50 lineup.
The leak states that the Redmi K50 e-sports version, which seems to be the Redmi K50 Gaming, will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 series chipset. The tipster had claimed earlier this week that it will be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. He had also said that the handset is equipped with JBL dual speakers, an AAC 1016 ultrawide-band x-axis motor.
Another tipster had revealed that the Redmi K50 Gaming measures 162. x 76.8 x 8.45mm and weighs 210 grams. The handset will be equipped with a 6.67-inch OLED 2K display that supports a high refresh rate, a 4,700mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging, 64-megapixel + 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a side-facing fingerprint scanner.
Coming back to Digital Chat Station’s leak, he further mentioned that the other three engineering models of the K50 lineup are equipped with the Snapdragon 870, Dimensity 8000, and Dimensity 9000 chipsets. The exact monikers of these models are not known, and it is unclear whether all three models will be made official at the same time.
Redmi has already confirmed that it will be holding the Redmi K50 series launch event in February. One of the K50 series devices launching next month has Snapdragon 8 series chip, a 4,700mAh battery with 120W fast charging, and dual VC liquid-cooling. The K50 models are expected to ship with MIUI 13 flavored Android 12. Probably, the Dimensity 8000 powered K50 model could be the starting variant in the series, which may begin at 1,999 Yuan.
