Redmi is scheduled to announce its highly anticipated Redmi K50 series this Thursday, March 17 in China. Earlier this week, the company had revealed the stunning design of one of its Redmi K50 series devices with a redesigned camera island and in a matte black design, which the company calls “Feather Black”.

However, smartphones normally don’t come with only one colour option, and there are more colour options to be announced at the launch event. However, new information leaked online seems to indicate that the Redmi K50 will be coming in 4 colours in total: Black, Blue, Gold and White.

The news comes from tech enthusiast, Mayank Kumar on Twitter, which had revealed the 3 upcoming colour options via a Tweet. 

The Redmi K50 series in Gold is a refreshing look in the Android space as very few 2022 Android flagships are sporting a rich gold colourway. The only other device that comes to mind is the Golden Huawei P50 Series which was launched last year.

The Redmi K50 series in Blue looks similar to the Matte Light Blue of its more expensive cousin, the Xiaomi 12.

The Redmi K50 series in White shares a resemblance with last year’s Redmi K40/Poco F3/Mi 11X series with the Arctic White matte finish. 

However, do take the leaks of the other 3 colours with a grain of salt as these leaked renders share an uncanny likeness to the official reveal of the Feather Black colourway of the Redmi K50 by Redmi themselves.

Looks are not the only deciding factor when buying a smartphone, and Redmi knows that dearly as the company is speccing out the Redmi K50 with industry-leading performance with its MediaTek Dimensity 8100 and 9000 processors under the hood. 

Official Antutu Benchmarks have already shown that one of the unannounced Redmi K50 series devices equipped with the Dimensity 9000 has officially crossed the 1 million score threshold, beating out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200.

Redmi also hinted that the Redmi K50 will feature a competitive camera setup to even rival flagships higher than its price range. The Redmi K50 series launch is happening this Thursday and for more coverage on the event, stay tuned to Gizmochina.

The first one will be by the global arm of the company, the second one will be hosted by the Indian division, and the third one will be held by the sub-brand Redmi in China. Two of these conferences are for brand new phones, while the remaining one is for already official handsets making their way to new markets.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at these launch events one by one.

Redmi K50 series is scheduled to be announced in China next week. But prior to the March 17 launch, the two Pro models within the lineup were spotted on GeekBench, which also listed a number of the K50 Pro+ and K50 Pro‘s specifications.

According to a MySmartPrice report, a smartphone with model number 22041211AC was listed on the popular benchmarking platform. This model is believed to be the Redmi K50 Pro. Similarly, the K50 Pro+ was also spotted on GeekBench with the 22011211C model number. Both models will likely run on MIUI 13, since they were listed with Android 12 OS. Furthermore, the K50 Pro will come with up to 12GB of RAM.

Furthermore, this model will also run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 SoC, although, this was already confirmed by the brand previously. This chipset is coupled with the Arm Mali G610 MC6 GPU with HyperEngine 5.0 gaming suite. On the other hand, the K50 Pro+ was spotted on the platform with Dimensity 9000 SoC, paired with 12GB of RAM and Android 12 OS as well. This chipset is also coupled with Mali G710 MC10 GPU.

Talking about the base K50 variant, this model will launch alongside the two Pro models on March 17. It will reportedly sport a 6.6 inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4,700mAh battery pack, with support for 120W fast charging rate. The smartphone will also probably run on Android 12 out of the box, however, we will have to wait for its official release to know for sure. So stick around for more updates.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi will be announcing the Redmi K50, Redmi K50 Pro, and Redmi K50 Pro+ smartphones on March 17 in China. Yesterday, the company released a poster to showcase the rear camera design of the K50 lineup. Today, it rolled out a new poster to give a good look at its rear design.

Shown below is the “Black Feather” color variant of the Redmi K50 series. The upper-left corner of the phone’s back features a triple camera unit, which is headlined by a 108-megapixel camera. Below it is a flashlight strip, which seems to house a dual-LED unit. The right edge of the phone has a volume rocker and a power key.

The Redmi K50 trio is likely to sport the same rear design. It is unclear whether the vanilla K50 will have a 108-megapixel main camera. However, reports have revealed that the Redmi K50 Pro+ will feature a 108-megapixel primary camera with OIS support, while the K50 Pro will have the same camera without OIS support.

Hence, it appears that the handset shown in the new poster could be the Redmi K50 Pro or Pro+. The bottom portion of the phone’s back panel has a crystal-like pattern that seems to glow when light passes through it. The front side of the phone has yet to be revealed. However, rumors surrounding it have claimed that the K50 lineup will have an AMOLED display with a centrally positioned punch-hole.

The K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+ are rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 870, Dimensity 8100, and Dimensity 9000 chipsets, respectively. The K50 and K50 Pro may have support for 67W fast charging, while the Pro+ variant may come with 120W rapid charging support.

Redmi has confirmed today that it will be announcing the Redmi K50 series of smartphones at 7 PM (local time) on March 17 in China. The Chinese manufacturer may unveil three models such as the Redmi K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+.

In the poster below, a Redmi K50 series phone can be seen sporting a protruding camera island with three cameras arranged in a triangular manner, along with a dual-LED flash. The poster confirms that the Redmi K50 will be equipped with a 108-megapixel primary camera.

In February, Redmi unveiled the Redmi K50G (aka. Redmi K50 Gaming Edition) with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform onboard. The upcoming K50 series of smartphones is likely to be powered by three different chipsets. The K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+ are expected to feature the Snapdragon 870, Dimensity 8100, and Dimensity 9000 chipsets, respectively.

The TENAA listing of the Redmi K50 will be arriving in three models, such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. On other hand, the Redmi K50 Pro will come in variants, such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. The K50 and K50 Pro may carry support for 67W rapid charging.

The Redmi K50 Pro+’s TENAA listing revealed that it may come in option like 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage, and 12 GB RAM + 512 GB storage. The device will carry support for 120W fast charging.

Tipster WHY LAB has claimed that the K50 Pro+ will have an OIS-enabled 108-megapixel main camera, whereas the K50 Pro will have the same camera without OIS support. Previous reports have revealed that 22021211RC, 22041211AC, and 22011211C model numbers belong to the K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+.

The post Redmi K50 launch date confirmed, camera design revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi has already launched its first smartphone in the K50 series dubbed the Redmi K50G aka the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition which runs the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. However, the flagship Redmi K50 Pro Plus is said to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC which may have indirectly been confirmed by Redmi’s General Manager.

According to a GizChina report, Lu Weibing who is Redmi’s General Manager has recently stated in an Interview that the upcoming Redmi K50 smartphone powered by the Dimensity 9000 chipset performs quite smoothly. From earlier leaks, we know that the Redmi K50 Pro will be getting the Dimensity 8100 chipset, leaving only the K50 Pro Plus to receive this top of the line MediaTek SoC.

The Redmi K50 Pro Plus is expected to launch soon in China and will likely come as a rebranded POCO device (POCO F4 Pro) in other parts of the world. It would be exciting to see the new chipset’s performance on the Redmi K50 Pro Plus especially since we know that it beats Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in benchmarks like Geekbench.

The Dimensity 9000 SoC’s performance is said to be superior to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 as the chip has been manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm process rather than Samsung’s, resulting in better power efficiency and lower thermals. The processing unit consists of a single Cortex-X2 super core, three Cortex-A710 large cores, and four Cortex-A510 small cores. This system is paired to the Mali-G710 GPU.

It will also be interesting to compare the K50 Pro Plus’s performance with the already released Redmi K50 Gaming Edition which comes equipped with the SD 8 Gen 1 SoC.

So far, the latest Dimensity 9000 SoC is only available to buy on an OPPO Find X5 Pro, which for now remains exclusive to China.

The post Redmi starts delisting Redmi K40 series ahead of Redmi K50 series launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi-backed Redmi is gearing up to launch its next-generation K-series smartphones in its home market — the Redmi K50 lineup. It includes devices ranging from mid-range to the premium category.

Ahead of the launch, there have been several leaks related to these upcoming devices and now we have got some more leaks. The latest leak reveals the pricing details for the upcoming Redmi K50 series smartphones in the Chinese market.

According to the leak, the Redmi K50 will have a starting price of 1,999 yuan (~$315) while the Pro model will carry a starting price of 2,699 yuan (~$426). The Redmi K50 Pro+ is claimed to start at 3,299 yuan ($521). The most powerful model in the lineup, the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will be priced at 3,499 yuan (~$553).

Two models out of the four will be powered by Qualcomm’s chipset. The Redmi K50 will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset while the Gaming Edition will pack the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

On the other hand, the Redmi K50 Pro will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chipset while the Pro+ model will be powered by the Dimensity 9000 SoC. While K50 and K50 Pro will have 66W and 67W charging support, the Pro+ and Gaming Edition models will have support for 120W fast charging.

Three of these four smartphone models have already passed through the TENAA certification process in China, which indicates that the launch date isn’t far away. A model of this series has also appeared on the BIS database, which could indicate its launch in the Indian market soon after its debut in China.

The company has not yet announced the launch date for the Redmi K50 series smartphone but we expect the device to go official later this month and thus an official confirmation should come in a few days.

Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K50 series as early as this month. Ahead of that, the smartphones in the lineup have started getting necessary certifications. Three models have now made their appearance on TENAA.

According to Digital Chat Station, three Redmi K50 series phones have been certified by TENAA. These devices bear model numbers 22021211RC, 22041211AC, and 22011211C respectively.

The tipster says that these handsets are powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, and unannounced MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chip. However, he specifically doesn’t mention the silicon associated with the aforementioned models.

According to earlier reports, the Redmi K50 series smartphone with model number 22021211RC will be powered by a Snapdragon 870 chipset. Further, the one with model number 22041211AC was previously said to house a yet-to-release Dimensity 7000 chip. For the unaware, this SoC is now rumored as Dimensity 8000.

Lastly, the phone with model number 22011211C was earlier reported to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 silicon. However, Digital Chat Station does not list this chipset in his post. Instead, he mentioned Dimensity 9000. Hence, this particular device could come powered by the latest flagship chip from MediaTek, rather than Qualcomm.

We expect these handsets to get more certifications in the coming days. At the same, we are also looking forward to the official teasers from Redmi. In other words, like any other recent smartphone from the Xiaomi group, we expect to learn almost everything about the Redmi K50 family before it goes official.

Xiaomi‘s sub-brand Redmi is preparing to launch its upcoming flagship devices dubbed the Redmi K50 series.

They are powered by Dimensity 8000, Snapdragon 870, Dimensity 9000, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, respectively.

And now, a new report from SparrosNews has revealed that the K50 Pro+ will be released after the K50 Gaming edition.

Redmi GM Lu Weibing took to Weibo to tease the upcoming press conference at which the company is poised to launch its next flagship line of devices. Under his blogpost, a Weibo user asked when the company will release the Dimensity 9000 variant of the smartphone to which Lu Weibing replied that it will be released “A little later than Snapdragon 8.” A recent leak has revealed that the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will be coming with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset while the Redmi K50 Pro+ will feature the unreleased MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.

So it appears that the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will indeed debut before the Redmi K50 Pro+. And as per a previous leak, the device might even be the first phone to be released in the K50 lineup.

Redmi K50 Gaming Edition specs (rumored)

So far, leaks have revealed that the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will measure 162 x 76.8 x 8.45mm and weigh 210 grams. It houses a 6.67-inch display, which appears to be an OLED curved edge panel that supports a Full HD+ resolution. The screen will have Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

For photography, it will feature a 16-megapixel front camera and a 64-megapixel (main) + 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit.

It is also expected to feature a 4,700mAh battery with 120W fast charging which can fill up the battery in just 17 minutes. Additionally, the device will also come equipped with gaming shoulder trigger keys and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Redmi has already announced that the K50 series will debut in February 2022. And going by Lu Weibing’s recent Weibo post, we can expect the launch to occur in the second week of February.

As we inch closer to February, Xiaomi is about to lift the curtains of its Redmi K50 series. The rumour mill has started to spin faster as more specs of the Redmi K50 lineup are leaked in China.

One leak comes from the popular Chinese leakster, Panda is Bald. The leakster recently took to Weibo to leak and share his excitement on the upcoming Redmi K50 series using the Sony IMX766 imaging sensor as the flagship’s main camera sensor. The Sony IMX766 is the same sensor featured on many well-known flagships such as the Xiaomi 12, Realme GT 2 Pro and Oppo Find X3 Pro.

However, the Weibo post does not specify which Redmi K50 model is getting the sensor, but previous leaks indicate that the sensor will be featured on either the Redmi K50 Pro, the Redmi K50 Pro Plus, or both.

As per previous leaks, the Redmi K50 Pro is also rumored to feature a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 4700mAh battery, and 120W charging.

In addition, a few days ago, leaked renders and the casing of the Redmi K50 Pro had surfaced online. The leaked render of the Redmi K50 Pro reveals that the smartphone will come with a single punch-hole cutout in the top-center position and the display will have rounded corners, similar to the phone’s body.

On the back, the device will have a camera module placed in the top-left corner. The black-colored square section will hold the three camera sensors in a triangular format, and a silver-colored rectangular section will house the LED flash. 

As for case renders, we have exclusive images of the transparent silicone case for the Redmi K50 Pro smartphone which, as mentioned above, is in line with the leaked render. This pretty much confirms this to be the phone’s final design.

Xiaomi also has officially confirmed that it will debut the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 on one of its Redmi K50 series models. The Dimensity 9000 is MediaTek’s flagship SoC for 2022, and it is built on TSMC’s industry-leading 4nm process. From Geekbench 5 scores, the Dimensity 9000 is on par and can outperform the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in many demanding scenarios.
