Xiaomi‘s independent Redmi brand has officially unveiled the Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro. The two models form part of the K50 series which already has the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition that was launched earlier in February.

The vanilla Redmi K50 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor built on TSMC’s 5nm process. The process recorded an AnTuTu score of over 850,0000 which makes it a powerful chipset. The device also comes with LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 flash storage, further improving the performance. On its part, the high-end Redmi K50 Pro emerges as the world’s first smartphone to pack the Dimemnsity 9000 flagship SoC and also features LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 flash storage.

The display is the major highlight of the K50 series as both models pack a 6.67-inch Samsung flexible AMOLED screen with a 2K resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels. The display also supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 526 PPI, and 1200nits peak brightness. the display also supports full DC dimming, 16,000-level automatic brightness adjustment, ambient color temperature sensing, super-resolution touch, Dolby Vision, AI HDR technology, and more.

The display is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Victus which is 1.5 times better than the previous Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The scratch resistance performance is improved up to twice that of the Glass 5.

The K50 Pro misses out on the under-screen fingerprint sensor but packs a side-mounted fingerprint sensor embedded under the fingerprint sensor.

For optics, the Redmi K50 Pro packs a 100-megapixel Samsung S5KHM2 ultra-clear triple camera setup. The camera comes with optical image stabilization (IOS) which will hugely impact the hand-held shooting capability. The flagship also features support for Electronic image stabilization during video shooting to reduce the impact of hand stability during recording. The main camera teams up with a 2MP macro lens and an 8MP 119° ultra-wide lens. The 100MP mains sensor is replaced by a 48MP main shooter on the K50 while retaining the rest of the K50 Pro lineup.

For selfies, there is a 20-megapixel Sony IMX596 sensor on both the K50 and K50 Pro which provides more sufficient image data for self-portraits.

In order to get the full capability of the powerful chipsets, the Redmi K50 and K50 Pro come with the latest cooling system technology. This includes an all-new stainless steel VC with a total area of 3950mm². The steel VC adopts a T-shaped design which covers 72% of the motherboard. The Redmi models also come with other heat dissipation materials – 7 layers of graphite, copper sheeting, and thermal paste, forming a 3D dissipation system to support ultimate performance for both devices.

Design-wise, the Redmi K50 appears to be pretty similar to the K50 Pro, whose design renders were also recently leaked by @OnLeaks (Steve Hemmerstoffer). The renders reveal that the upcoming K50 houses a triple camera setup on the back.

The rear camera alignment appears to be inspired by Vivo and iQOO devices that have used the triangular camera island design in their previous devices. The overall camera module seems somewhat similar to what we’ve seen with the Xiaomi CIVI. Other than the two-tone camera bump, the smartphone has an even looking back panel. On the front, the smartphone carries a 6.6-inch flat display with minimal bezzles and a noticeable chin. The front camera is placed in a centrally aligned punch-hole. According to the tipster, the smartphone measures 163.30 x 76.0 x 8.1mm (10.4mm including rear camera bump).

At the bottom, the K50 will have a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, and a primary microphone. The smartphone doesn’t appear to have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The volume rocker and the power button will reside on the right side. The left side is shown bare in the renders, however, we think it may have the SIM card slot.

The top of the phone will have a speaker grille and an IR blaster. Whereas, the handset’s bottom will feature a USB Type-C port and another speaker grille.

Redmi K50 specs and features (rumored)

So far, rumors suggest that the Redmi K50 will come with a 6.6-inch OLED display and 120Hz refresh rate.

The phone will come powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset and is expected to have a 4500-4700mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. The Redmi K50 will run on Android 12 OS and have MIUI 13 on top of it. The fingerprint scanner is said to be side mounted this time around and the device is expected to cost somewhere around CNY 1,999(~$315).

Pranav Sawant — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 13:20:50 +0000

Xiaomi’s Redmi is expected to launch the all-new Redmi K50 series soon as a few of the models from the series have passed several certifications. Earlier, a K50 device with model number 21121210C passed the Geekbench certification and now, another K50 phone carrying the model number 22021211RC has appeared on Geekbench.

As per the listing, the Xiaomi 22021211RC scored 963 single-core points and 3123 multi-core points on the Geekbench v5. These scores are possible due to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC under the hood. It runs on Android 12 out of the box and has 12GB of RAM. Netizens believe that this could be the vanilla Redmi K50 phone.

Apart from this, there are no other details about the 22021211RC or the purported Redmi K50. But, Previously, a device with model number 21121210C passed the same certification with the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. It scored 1240 single-core points and 2645 multi-core points.

Redmi K50 & K50 Pro renders & other key details surface online

Some new details may have emerged relating to the upcoming Redmi K50 and K50 Pro smartphones, as shown by renders from a China-based tipster. The new Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are billed for unveiling in early 2022 with rumors pointing to a launch before February 2022.

In addition, some current leaks by tipsters Bald Panda and Digital Chat Station indicate that the three scheduled models in the K50 series (the K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+) will utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset, with up to 67W charging potential guaranteed. The design will have E5 luminescent material with a 2K display and 120Hz refresh rate.

The new renders also indicate that the K50 lineup bears some close semblance with Huawei’s P50 concerning the camera housing setup. It seems that a centered punch hole camera may be in the offing for the front-facing camera, although this remains in the realm of speculation. Others have posited that an under-display camera may take the position of the centered punch hole, although this is highly improbable. The rear camera setup will also sport a bump, and this also finds close semblance with the Huawei P50.

Xiaomi had previously provided some teasers on the flagship Redmi K50 series, better screen quality on offer, and improved charging speeds. Xiaomi has enjoyed a great relationship with chipmaker Qualcomm and is usually among the first smartphone manufacturers to launch Qualcomm’s new products, as predicted for the new chipset from Qualcomm – the Snapdragon 865.

Several key specs of the Realme K50 series are still lacking at this time. However, we are still far away from the projected launch of the devices, as Xiaomi is currently gearing up for the launch of the K40 series.

Redmi GM Lu Weibing stylishly teases the Redmi K50 series

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 00:06:23 +0000

Xiaomi’s Redmi brand only took the wraps off the high-end Redmi K40 series in March this year. The K40 joins a growing list of flagship models which started with the Redmi K20 series. The K20 was launched in May 2019 as Redmi’s first flagship model. The K30 also joined the fray in November 2019 while the K30S made its debut in 2020. Xiaomi is now working on the Redmi K50.

Redmi’s GM and Xiaomi vice-president Lu Weibing recently attempted to sample opinion of fans concerning the features, configuration and experience they hope to get from the next-gen Redmi K50. Apart from that, prolific tipster Digital Chat Station also disclosed that the K50 series will improve on the features of its predecessor especially in the aspect of fast charging, video/imaging, and screen quality.

Recall that the Redmi K40 featured support for 33W fast charging technology for the 4,520mAH battery under the hood. We may see an upgrade to either 50W or 65W. For now, there is no lead as to the features that would find their way into the K50 series. The Chinese tech giant is yet to say when the model will be unveiled but going by precedence and the timing of Weibing’s post, the company might announce the model before the year runs out.

We expect details of the K50 series to emerge in the coming weeks. We’ll keep yu posted here on Gzmochina when that happens. But before then, spare a minute to tell us the aspect you’ll like to see Redmi upgrade on the upcoming K50 series in the comments section below.
