Redmi is gearing up to launch the new K-series phone(s) in India and is trying to build hype around it. Recently, it held a promo campaign to celebrate the third anniversary of the Redmi K20 series in various cities across India. Now, the brand has released a new tweet that reads, “K Is Back.” If rumors are to be believed, the Redmi K50i 5G smartphone may be released in the country this month.
A Xiaomi device with a 22041216I model number was recently approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). This device is expected to debut in India with the Redmi K50i 5G name. Earlier this year, Redmi launched the Redmi Note 11T Pro in China. This device was recently rebranded as the POCO X4 GT in the global market. In India, it will arrive with the Redmi K50i 5G name.
China’s Redmi Note 11T Pro+ 5G is also expected to debut in India with the Redmi K50i Pro 5G name. It remains to be seen whether it will debut alongside the K50i 5G.
Redmi K50i 5G specifications (rumored)
The Redmi K50i 5G will feature a 6.6-inch IPS LCD FHD+ 144Hz display. It runs on the MIUI 13 based Android 12 OS. The handset is powered by the Dimensity 8100 chipset. It will arrive in two options: 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.
It will pack a 5,080mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging. For photography, it will have a 16-megapixel front camera and a 64-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. It also features a side-facing fingerprint scanner.
