The Xiaomi group is expected to introduce new smartphones very soon. The company’s next big release will be the Redmi K50 series. Other than that, it is also anticipated to announce new budget models under Redmi and POCO brands, in addition to ultra-premium phones like the successors of Mi 11 Ultra and Mi MIX Fold. Amidst this, two mysterious handsets from the company have made their appearance on a certification website.

According to Xiaomiui, three Xiaomi group smartphones have been certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). This suggests that these devices with model numbers 22021211RI, 22041219PI, and 22011119I may launch in India.

Out of the trio, one of them carrying model number 22021211RI had already received the BIS certification in early February. The Chinese variant of this phone with model number 22021211RC is said to go official as Redmi K50.

Per TENAA, the so-called Redmi K50 will be available in three memory configurations, such as 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB. It is rumored to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC and is expected to look like a vivo handset.

Xiaomiui says that the device will launch under the POCO brand in India. It might go official as POCO F4 in the country.

On the other hand, the smartphones with model numbers 22041219PI and 22011119I were also earlier spotted in the IMEI database in January.  The former is said to release under the POCO brand and the latter under Redmi. Specifically, Xiaomiui suggests that the first one could launch as POCO M4 5G.

Xiaomi is known for releasing new devices every now and then, although not as frequent as Realme. That said, we haven’t seen many launches from the company in the last few months due to supply shortages. But it looks like the coming months will be busy for the firm.

According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi is working on 12 mysterious devices. Going by their model numbers, six of them will likely be a part of the same lineup with some tweaks for different regions, while the remaining six will be part of another.

The model numbers of all these devices mention their tentative launch timeline as April 2022. For the uninitiated, the first four characters of Xiaomi’s model numbers denote the year and month of release. Since there are multiple models, they may slowly roll out throughout Q2 2022.

Coming to model numbers, as we mentioned earlier, there are two series – 22041216 and 22041219. Per the IMEI database, the former group includes one Xiaomi-branded device, three Redmi-branded devices, and two POCO-branded devices. Similarly, the latter lineup consists of four Redmi-branded devices and two POCO-branded devices.

Here are all the model numbers in detail.

If you notice clearly, we haven’t mentioned the upcoming products as smartphones. Instead, we used the generic term ‘devices’. That’s because Xiaomi has re-entered the tablet category with the launch of the Xiaomi Pad 5 series last year.

What we are trying to say is one of the two aforementioned families of products could be tablets. Anyway, we wouldn’t dwell on this idea much as we don’t expect Xiaomi to release six variations of a single tablet.

Having said that, we expect to learn more about the above-listed devices in the coming days.
