Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the next-generation Redmi K-series smartphones in the Chinese market and the company has also confirmed that the first device in the lineup, dubbed Redmi K50 Gaming Edition, will go official on 16th February.
Now, just a few days ahead of the phone’s launch in China, the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is now available for pre-order through the e-commerce platform JD.com.
Based on the leaks and reports so far, the smartphone will feature a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display panel is likely to be OLED, supplied by TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT).
Under the hood, the device will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. To keep the temperature in check, it features a VC cooling area of 4860mm². It is claimed to be the world’s first to be equipped with a CyberEngine ultra-wideband motor.
In the camera department, there will be a triple-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B primary sensor, a 13-megapixel OmniVision OV13B sensor, and a 2-megapixel tertiary lens. On the front side, there will be a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
The phone will reportedly come with physical magnetic shoulder keys and have dual stereo speakers tuned by JBL. There will also be a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security. It is likely to be running the latest Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MIUI 13 custom user interface on top. The device will be powered by a 4,700mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.
