The upcoming Redmi K50 Gaming Edition phone has a design inspired by sports cars, Redmi general manager Lu Weibing said through a social media post today.
The automotive design inspiration spans the overall look of the phone, its colors, and finally its “sophistication,” the GM added. The phone has also been described as having the most “exquisite in-hand feeling in the history of Redmi phones.”
Further, the gaming triggers that sit on one of the longer edges of the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition were likened to the paddle-shifting mechanism on sports cars. This should provide a highly immersive experience with racing games, even though trigger buttons are traditionally used for FPS games on mobile.
And if you need any more proof about the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition being sports car-inspired, then you need to look no further than its special Mercedes AMG Petronas Edition. This variant features the iconic color scheme of Mercedes F1 cars, with a grey-colored back panel complemented by black triangular patterns around its mid-section.
The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will be released on February 16 as a successor to last year’s Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. It is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and has a total heat dissipation area of 4860mm² VC. Its large 4,700mAh battery can be filled up at 120W.
