Although the Redmi K50 series was launched only in April, it seems that the ambitious Xiaomi company is already brewing up its successor, the Redmi K50S series to be released soon in the second half of 2022.
A report by xiaomiui.net has recently uncovered the flagship device models that will be launched soon by Xiaomi later in the year. The team that reported on the leak has gotten the info from Xiaomi’s MIUI software codebase.
According to the report, Xiaomi will be launching a total of 5 models from the Redmi K50S series and Xiaomi 12T series this year which are respectively the Redmi K50S Pro, the standard Redmi K50S, the standard Xiaomi 12T, Xiaomi 12T Pro, and Xiaomi 12T Pro HyperCharge.
The codebase also reveals the model number, region availability and processor that is running under the hood of these 5 upcoming flagships.
Let’s start with the “Pro” models first. The Redmi K50S Pro is to be announced in China under the model number 22081212C. The device is to be equipped with Qualcomm’s upcoming yet-to-be-announced flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+.
Moving onto the Xiaomi 12T Pro, the device is said to be a rebrand of the Redmi K50S Pro but for the global market as it shares a similar model number 22081212G instead. The Xiaomi 12T Pro will also be available in Japan as well but with the model number 22081212R instead.
However, what is interesting is that Xiaomi is supposedly bringing a “Hypercharge” version of the Redmi K50S Pro, called the Xiaomi 12T Pro Hypercharge. This model seems to be not available in China and will be exclusive to the global market under the model number 22081212UG.
Since the Xiaomi 12T Pro is a rebrand of the Redmi K50S Pro, the Xiaomi 12T Pro will be sporting the same Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ as its Chinese counterpart as well.
As for the standard models, the standard Redmi K50S will be launched in China under the model number 22071212AC whereas the Xiaomi 12T will be launched in the global market under the model number 22071212AG. The Xiaomi 12T is to be a rebranded version of the Redmi K50S launched for the global market.
Gathering from the codebase, it seems that the Xiaomi 12T/Redmi K50S will be powered by an unknown MediaTek Dimensity chipset instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1+.
It seems that Xiaomi is really trying to push into the upper mid-range and flagship premium segment hard in 2022, and for updates on the latest releases by Xiaomi, stay tuned to Gizmochina’s coverage on the latest news of gadgets and devices from China.
