The Redmi K50 ‘universe’ comprised of the Redmi K50, Redmi K50 Pro, Redmi K50 Pro+, and Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is all set to go live on February 16th in China. From these, Xiaomi seems to have huge expectations from the Redmi K50 Gaming and has been teasing its features extensively for the past week, with the latest focusing on its audio prowess.

With a post on microblogging site Weibo, Redmi has talked about the concept of frequencies. While most of the music and other other “mainstream” audio is limited to the 500-2000Hz mid-frequency band, nailing higher frequencies on speakers has been asserted to be just as important. Redmi says if frequencies are higher than 2000Hz are missing, outputted audio sounds unnatural and less lively. The same holds true for lower frequency sounds as well.

Manufacturers thus aim to achieve an optimum “crossover” of both high-frequency and low-frequency sounds at the same time with a single speaker. But getting this right, unfortunately, is rather difficult.

Redmi says that the solution for this is dividing speakers into units dedicated to either higher or lower frequencies, and firing audio through them together for more balanced sound. This has been claimed to be essential across a number of gaming scenarios such as in FPS games where the ability to distinguish footsteps and gunshots is crucial.

The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has been revealed to be doing just that and comes with a dual symmetrical stereo speaker setup by JBL, further enhanced by Dolby Atmos support. The special audio config is being marketed as a “breakthrough” and should result in significantly better speaker performance over last year’s Redmi K40 Gaming Edition.

Apart from audio, the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has also been claimed to have achieved another breakthrough in the haptics department, coming with an enhanced version of the X-axis linear motor.
