Xiaomi’s flagship device for 2022, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra, brought ultra-premium features for an ultra-premium price of 5,999 yuan (~$890). However, not everyone is looking to spend $900 on a smartphone. And for people wanting a budget flagship, Xiaomi’s independent brand, Redmi has a new model on offer – the Redmi K50 Ultra. Like its predecessors, the phone brings flagship-grade specs at a mid-range starting price of just 2999 yuan ($445).
Given that there’s a new model in the K50 series, let’s take a quick look at how the new Redmi K50 Ultra differs from the Redmi K50 Pro model that was announced a few months back.

Redmi K50 Ultra vs Redmi K50 Pro

Xiaomi Redmi K50 Ultra vs Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro

Design

Although the Redmi K50 Ultra was announced a few months after the K50 Pro, the basic form factor of the two devices remain the same. They measure around 8.55mm in thickness and weigh around 201 grams. Both the phones feature rounded corners with a subtle curve at the back for better grip. The texture is also similar, which is smooth and matte-like. Even the fingerprint sensor is side mounted on the two models.

However, they differ in terms of the color options available, along with subtle changes.
The Ultra model comes in black, grey, light blue colours. There’s also a special AMG edition in dark grey with green accents. On the other hand, the K50 Pro comes in green, grey, blue colours, along with a special black edition.
There are also other subtle differences between the two devices. For example, the new K50 Ultra has a narrower camera module, with the camera sensors aligned vertically. The Pro model uses a circular camera module to house all of its three sensors.

Although the two phones have similar designs, the subtle changes make the Redmi K50 Ultra feel more modern and premium, giving it a slight edge in this department. If you are a fan of Mercedes AMG Racing, then the AMG edition would be an obvious choice to buy, despite its marked up price tag.

Display

The two models have near identical displays featuring a 6.67-inch panel with 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support. However, if you noticed, we didn’t mention the resolution in the common features. That’s because the Redmi K50 Ultra comes with a 1.5K resolution 2712 x 1220 display instead of the 2K 1440 x 3200 (WQHD+) resolution on the K50 Pro.

The drop in resolution on the higher-end Ultra model is definitely surprising but the difference shouldn’t be significant in real life. So, you can’t go wrong with either of these devices when it comes to the display department.

Specs & Software

The K50 Ultra features the fastest processor from Qualcomm’s stable in 2022, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC. In comparison to the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 found inside the K50 Pro, the Ultra definitely gets the advantage when it comes to sheer power. We have tested out the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 in multiple phones and we were left impressed its overall performance, including sustained gaming.
As for the memory options, both the models max out at 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Clearly, performance shouldn’t be a major issue on both these models, especially the K50 Ultra, even for high-end gaming.
Given that these are two models from the same K series lineup, they both run on Android 12 based MIUI OS.

For the best performance, the K50 Ultra is an easy choice in this comparison.

Camera

The camera setup remains the same on both the Redmi K50 Pro and the K50 Ultra models. They both feature a 108MP high-resolution primary camera with OIS, another 8MP ultra-wide angle shooter with 119˚ field of view, and a basic 2MP f/2.4 macro camera.
If you want to know how these three cameras perform in real life, check out our review of the Redmi K50 Pro here.

While the two phones have identical camera hardware, the chipsets inside will influence the final output of the pictures and videos. We have traditionally seen Snapdragon chips churn out better camera samples than its MediaTek counterparts and we expect the same to be the case with the K50 Ultra. So, the Ultra model could capture better images than the Pro model. However, only a real life camera comparison would reveal the true performance of their cameras.

Battery

Both phones come with 120W fast charging technology with 5000mAh battery capacity. Given their fast charging speeds and relatively large batteries, you don’t have to worry about battery life. Both support QC3+ / PD2.0 / PD3.0 fast charging protocols.

Unfortunately, given their affordable status, both the Redmi devices don’t support Wireless Charging.

Price

The newly announced Redmi K50 Ultra starts at 2999 yuan ($445) in China but is already available via retailers like Giztop. On the other hand, the Redmi K50 Pro can be bought globally via sites like Giztop and Aliexpress for around $500.

The Redmi K50 Ultra is placed a level higher than the Pro model, so if you want the best performance and features, it makes sense to go for the new Ultra model. On the other hand, the Redmi K50 Pro is still a pretty good purchase if you can get it for under $500 globally. It comes with an efficient yet powerful Dimensity 9000 chipset with 2K resolution display and a similar camera setup.

But if you are getting the Ultra for a few dollars more, it makes complete sense to get the newer model with Qualcomm’s most powerful chipset.

Poco is gearing up to unveil the Poco F4 5G. Though the brand is yet to reveal the launch date, it has started teasing the features. At the same time, the device has been leaked multiple times revealing almost everything about it. Amidst this, a report now states that there was going to be a Poco F4 Pro 5G but not anymore.

According to Xiaomiui, Xiaomi, the parent company of Redmi and Poco, was working on Poco F4 Pro 5G until recently. But it appears that the company seems to have axed the plan to bring this device to the market.

For the unaware, the Poco F4 5G is a rebranded Redmi K40S with a 64MP primary camera instead of a 48MP sensor. Similarly, per MIUI code, the Poco F4 Pro 5G is based on Redmi K50 Pro.

The Redmi K50 Pro codenamed ‘Matisse’ is one of the few smartphones powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 9000 chipset. It is also one of the few upper mid-range handsets with a 2K AMOLED display that also happens to support Dolby Vision.

Xiaomiui states that Xiaomi had been developing internal MIUI builds for the Poco F4 Pro 5G till April 19. As it has been nearly two months since the release of the last software build, the blog suggests that the phone may have been canceled.

However, it is worth noting that the Poco F4 Pro 5G’s branding recently appeared on the promo page meant for Poco F4 5G. Perhaps, it could be a typo as there are no other concrete proofs for the launch of this smartphone.

In February, Redmi unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered Redmi K50G (Redmi K50 Gaming) in China. In the next month, it announced the Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro with Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 900 SoCs onboard. It looks like Redmi might be working on a more powerful flagship phone in the K50 series. It might be called the Redmi K50 Ultra and come out in China in the next few months.

According to Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is working on a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered flagship phone for the second half of 2022. He added that the device will be equipped with a flat display that offers a Quad HD+ resolution and may carry support for 100W (or 120W) fast charging.

While he did not explicitly mention the name of the device, it appears that the device could be called the Redmi K50 Ultra. The above specs suggest that it may arrive as the most powerful Redmi flagship phone. The leak also mentions that there could be a Dimensity chipset variant of the same phone.

Several smartphone OEMs are planning to launch Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered smartphones in the second half of this year. It is speculated that Motorola could be the first brand to announce an SD8+G1 phone.

Some of the other devices that are expected to feature the SD8+G1 chip include the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition, the Xiaomi 12S series, the iQOO 10 series, the OnePlus 10 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It appears that the alleged Redmi K50 Ultra may arrive as one of the most affordable phones with SD8+G1. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal more details about the smartphone.

Xioami had launched the Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro smartphones in the Chinese market last month. Now, just a few weeks after the phones were made available for purchase in China, they have received a price cut.

Both the Redmi K50 and K50 Pro have received a 50 yuan price cut, similar to the Redmi K40S smartphone. With this, the base model of the Redmi K50 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage now starts at 2,349 yuan, which is around $355.

Similarly, the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model now costs 2,449 yuan (~$371) and the 12GB RAM with 256GB internal storage is priced at 2,649 yuan (~$401).

On the other hand, the Redmi K50 Pro has also received a 50 yuan price cut in China, bringing down the cost of the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage to 2,949 yuan (~$445). The 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage model is now available for 3,149 yuan, which is about $477.

The 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model of the Redmi K50 Pro is now priced at 3,449 yuan (~$522) while the 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage model costs 3,849 yuan, which is approximately $582.

Both the smartphones feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED QHD+ 120Hz screen. While the K50 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC, the Pro model is powered by the Dimensity 9000 SoC, both of which have LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The devices are running the latest Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own MIUI 13 custom user interface on top. The K50 is powered by a 5,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging while the K50 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging.

Although the K50 Gaming Edition was released a while back, that was just a preview of the K50 series. But the most notable models in the K50 series are here, the Standard and Pro versions.

In this article, we will look at the K50 Pro. I believe that after you read this review, you will be amazed that such a powerful phone is sold only for $470.

The first Flagship Killer of 2022 has finally made its debut.

Redmi K50 Pro Review: Design & Display

Like last year’s K40 series, this year’s Redmi K50 Pro black version uses a different pattern design for the back cover than the other color versions. The back cover will have a crystalline pattern that shines under the refraction of light. Redmi says the inspired by the olive meteorite. It’s really beautiful. And if you are unfortunate to break the back cover glass, maybe this pattern can also cover up your broken back cover.

But this lens module is personally not appealing to me. There are circles and triangles in the rectangle, which doesn’t look harmonious. The lens design seems to have been seen on other phones.

It has NFC, IR blaster, and stereo dual speakers. But the bezel is still made of plastic, and the fingerprint recognition is also on the bezel. All in all, you cannot doubt the functionality of the K50 Pro, but the look and design is not as good as the K40 series. The main thing I don’t like is the design of the lens.

Although its back design has taken a step backward, its front is really “very good “, I say this especially after seeing the specs on paper. Finally, the Redmi model uses a 2K resolution OLED screen. This is probably the cheapest 2K OLED screen phone you can buy. And it performs well both in terms of viewing angle and maximum brightness.

The lower bezel is also very narrow. Honestly, the screen quality of the K50 Pro is very close to that of the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Even without the interference of Micro-Lens technology, the K50 Pro has even better side view color shift control than the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Although it doesn’t have LTPO, which is very popular this year, it has full-scene DC dimming and Adaptive colors, two features that make the screen less irritating to the eyes. The screen is surrounded by a plastic holder, which the 2k straight screen realme GT 2 pro does not have. The shape of the film at the hole punch is also very strange, it is actually water-drop shaped. But just from the experience of using it, the K50 Pro’s screen should be second only to the top flagship phones of various brands. Very good! If you buy the K50 series, remember to go to the Display settings and set the resolution to 2k. Because the default resolution is FHD+.

Redmi K50 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming

I know that everyone is fed up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that overheats. And everyone was expecting MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 to save Android flagship phones from the fire.

The K50 Pro being the first Dimensity 9000 phone we tested, we of course had to take a closer look at its performance. In AnTuTu, the phone scores 950,000 points, and in 3Dmark 7900. Geekbench 5 single-core is 1300, and multi-core around 4400. And the phone also passed the 3DMark stress test without any problems. This is much better than the 8Gen1 phones that couldn’t even complete the test.

1 of 3

The heatsink material used in the phone is the exact same stainless-steel VC as the K50 Gaming Edition. Thanks to the better processor, the Genshin Impact was able to maintain a high frame rate for a long time, and only twice in 20 minutes of gaming did the frame rate lock at 45fps. The maximum temperature was only 46 degrees Celsius, and the power consumption was not much. Sounds pretty good, right? But that’s because the early system versions reduced the resolution of Genshin.

1 of 4

After updating to the latest system version, the resolution is back to the normal level. But the average fps decreased, the number of lockups at 45fps increased, and the temperature increased. The advantage of Dimensity 9000 was only maintained for 10 minutes. That doesn’t sound good. The frame rate curve in Brightridge, which focuses on GPU performance, is not much different from other 8 Gen 1 phones, and the temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius. It can be seen that Dimensity 9000 will have a better experience on short gaming sessions compared to 8 Gen 1. But once the game time becomes longer, the K50 Pro does not have a clear advantage.

If you think the gaming experience of K50 Pro is not good enough, you can look forward to the K50 Standard Edition. Because based on the performance of Dimensity 8100 samples phone made by MTK, it is possible that its gaming experience will be better than Dimensity 9000.

Redmi K50 Pro Review: Cameras

Main Camera

1 of 13

The K50 Pro is also the first Redmi phone to use OIS, which has improved the photo quality of the 108MP main camera in low light. Combined with the ISP boost, you can see a lot of detail in the samples even when the environment is very dark. In most cases, it performs much better than the Redmi Note 11 Pro China, which is also 108MP, especially in terms of dynamic range. But like other Redmi phones, the exposure will be slightly lower than other brands.

Ultrawide Camera

1 of 10

The ultra-wide-angle camera is like any other Budget phone. There is a purple-fringing issue, and this issue is also different from other phones. The K50 Pro not only has a purple line at the edge of the picture, it also has a green line. And this problem is very likely to occur. There is also a lot of noise when the light is bad. Overall, its main camera has a good photo performance, like in the upper-middle-range, but the ultra-wide-angle camera is not good enough. But it is not a phone designed for people who like to take pictures, so this camera performance is considered to reach the pass line.

The Dimensity phones we have tested before have been underperforming in terms of video recording, but the K50 Pro’s video performance is satisfactory. The main camera supports up to 4k 30fps and the ultra-wide-angle camera supports up to 1080P 30fps. Main camera support OIS+EIS. Clarity and stability are good.

Although the K50 Pro has stereo dual-speaker, the JBL logo does not appear on this phone.

Redmi K50 Pro Review: Charging & Battery

I had mentioned in the Xiaomi 12 Pro review that the Surge P1 chip allows a 120w phone to add a larger capacity battery. But many people still complain that the 4600mAh battery capacity is too small. So, Redmi has finally brought out the full strength of the Surge P1 chip this time, achieving the unbeatable combination of 5000mAh plus 120w charging power. Compared to the Xiaomi 12 Pro which also uses Surge P1 but with 400mAh less, it charges 31% in five minutes, 62% in ten minutes, and is fully charged in 19 minutes. Not only does it charge fast, but it also consumes less power. Combined with the power consumption data from the previous gaming section, the game consumes much less power than the 8Gen1 phone. It seems that one of the reasons for the K50 Pro’s super-long battery life is the Dimensity 9000.

1 of 2

Imagine, you can get this phone for only $470 with top-of-the-line performance and good gaming experience. It also adds super fast 120w charging and a big 5000mAh battery. Finally, the most important thing is that it has an excellent 2k resolution OLED screen.

In today’s world where flagship phones are getting more and more expensive with lower and lower specs, only Redmi still insists on making the ultimate cost-effective phone. This is the phone that consumers want to see the most.

But I actually care more about the Redmi K50 Standard Edition than the K50 Pro. Although it starts at $100 less, the core specs are not changed much.

Unlike what a lot of people think, the Redmi K50 series is composed of three phones. Besides the vanilla Redmi K50 and the Pro variant launched this month, there is also the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition released last month. But the Gaming Edition is not the only perfect phone for gaming in the lineup: the whole trio is great for gamers and power users. They all come with flagship-class specifications offered at an affordable price if we consider their specs sheet. But which one is better between the Gaming Edition and the Pro variant? A lot of people are asking such a question and we decided to answer through a specs comparison between the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition and the Redmi K50 Pro.

Redmi K50 Pro full review:

Xiaomi Redmi K50 Gaming Edition vs Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro

Design

The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has a very original design. It has a gaming-centric look and is specifically targeted at young people, but it also comes with amazing build quality. It is built with a glass back, an aluminum frame, and it has a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus by Corning. The design of the Redmi K50 Pro is more sober and anonymous, so better for casual users and for those who do not want a gaming-centric device. Besides a glass back and a display protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, the Pro variant comes with the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant. If you are a gamer, you will appreciate the K50 Gaming Edition a lot more because it features physical magnetic pop-up gaming triggers on the right side: these retractile physical keys can offer big advantages in competitive games.

Display

The display of the Redmi K50 Pro is superior to the one found on the Gaming Edition. First of all, it has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels (the Gaming variant has a Full HD panel with 1080 x 2400 pixels). Further, it adds the Dolby Vision support improving the image quality. For the rest, these two displays are more or less the same. They come with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, and the OLED technology providing brilliant colors and very deep blacks. Unfortunately, despite having OLED displays, these phones do not have an in-display fingerprint reader but a side-mounted one.

Specs & Software

The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition and the Redmi K50 Pro are powered by the best processors by Qualcomm and MediaTek. The former comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, while the latter has a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. According to most of the benchmarks, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 (built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3.05 GHz) provides higher performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But the differences are just marginal as they are the best SoCs in the Android world. The two Redmi flagships run Android 12 customized by MIUI 13.

Camera

If you are looking for a high-end camera phone, you should not opt for these handsets, but their cameras are still good if compared to the other mid-rangers. They both come with a triple camera, but the main sensor is different: the Redmi K50 Pro has a better 108 MP main camera with 4K video recording capabilities, while the Gaming Edition has an inferior 64 MP sensor. The secondary sensors are exactly the same: an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro lens. Even the front camera does not change: it is a 20 MP snapper with 1080p video recording.

Battery

The Redmi K50 Pro is equipped with a bigger battery coming with a capacity of 5000 mAh, but there is also to consider that its components are less energy-efficient: the display, for example, has a higher resolution, so a higher energy consumption as well. Both the phones feature 120W fast charging, but the Gaming Edition will obviously charge quicker due to its smaller 4700 mAh battery.

Price

The starting price of the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is €460/$505, while the Pro variant starts from €430/$473. In a few words, Gaming Edition adds those physical buttons which are very good for gamers, but the Redmi K50 Pro wins the overall comparison because it has a better camera, bigger battery, and superior display.

The post Redmi K50 Gaming vs Redmi K50 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, Redmi debuted the highly anticipated Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro smartphones in China. The devices come with impressive spec sheets and feature new SoCs from MediaTek, so we at the Gizmochina team got our hands on these new devices as fast as we could to share with you our first impressions.

Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro Unboxing:

Redmi K50 Pro full review:

The devices come with similar minimalist packaging to the previous generation and have the K50 and K50 Pro model names printed on the box. On the side, the box informs us of the charging capabilities and the screen resolution of the devices. Redmi’s fire-breathing dinosaur mascot Kino greets you when you open the box, and below it, we find the smartphones themselves. The box also includes USB type-C cables and a 67W charger for the K50 and a relatively bigger 120W charger for the K50 Pro.

Coming to the phones themselves, the K50 and the K50 Pro look very similar to each other in terms of screen and design. The only thing that differentiates the two is the main sensor’s camera resolution, which is written below the camera module. Additionally, the camera module looks pretty similar to devices like the iQOO 8 series and the Xiaomi CIVI but with a different camera arrangement. The devices feel pretty comfortable in the hand. However, it is worth mentioning that the side frames of the devices are made of plastic, which doesn’t feel as good as the metal frames.

On the front, the two devices are indistinguishable as they both feature a flat 6.7-inch 2K (3200x1400p) 120Hz Samsung AMOLED display with pretty narrow bezels and a small punch hole for the selfie camera centered at the top. The phones slightly disappoint as they don’t have an in-display fingerprint sensor and are rather fitted with a side-mounted one on the power button.

The 2K display on the vanilla K50 makes it especially attractive as it also offers Dolby Vision and supports HDR content with a max brightness of 1200nits just like the Pro variant. Both the K50 and K50 Pro have Gorilla Glass Victus protection for their screens. The devices get a dual speaker setup for stereo audio output that comes certified by Dolby Atmos.

Coming to what’s under the hood, the K50 comes with the newly launched MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC, which has been receiving much praise as of late. The SoC is based on TSMC’s 5nm node, which gives it better thermals and power efficacy than the Snapdragon 870, while the SoC is churning out performance close to that of the Snapdragon 888.

The K50 Pro, on the other hand, houses a Dimensity 9000 chipset which goes head to head with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip while outperforming it in various metrics.

Redmi K50 & K50 Pro benchmark results

1 of 2

We quickly ran some benchmarks on the two devices to get an idea of their performance. In the 3DMark Wild Life test, the Redmi K50 Pro scored 7983 points while the vanilla K50 managed a score of 5705 points. In the more CPU-intensive Geekbench 5 tests, the K50 Pro scored 1299 on the single-core test and 4454 on the multicore test. Coming back to the vanilla K50, it scored 982 points on the single-core test and 3734 points on the multi-core test.

The power solution on these devices is also interesting, as the K50 gets a bigger 5500mAh battery with a comparatively slower 67W fast charging support, the K50 Pro features a 5000mAh battery with super-fast 120W charging.

Last but not the least, the camera setup on both devices feature optical image stabilization for the main lenses. The Pro version features a 108MP primary snapper accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro camera. The vanilla version gets a 48MP primary coupled with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro shooter.

The smartphones genuinely seem quite amazing as far as first impressions go, and they might turn out to be true flagship killers of the current generation of smartphones. However, we would like to conduct more tests on it, like testing out the battery performance, the performance of the devices under prolonged use, the camera quality in various scenarios, and also the sound quality of their stereo speakers. For all this and more, stay tuned for the upcoming detailed review of the Redmi K50 and K50 Pro devices.

Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy A53 5G in China. The latest mid-ranger from the company was initially announced globally last week. The Chinese variant of the handset comes with the exact same set of specs as the version released elsewhere.

The Galaxy A53 5G is up for pre-order in China. It will retail at the following price tags in the country from April 1.

• 8GB + 128GB – ¥3,399 ($534)
• 8GB + 256GB – ¥3,699 ($581)

Customers can purchase the phone in either Awesome Blue, Awesome Black, Awesome White, or Awesome Peach color options. Customers who pre-order will get Samsung Online Store credits to buy the Galaxy Buds2 at a discounted price tag of ¥449 ($71) and a coupon for the official silicone case for the handset (limited to 6,000 buyers).

For the asking price, the Galaxy A53 5G offers way less than the competition in China. People can get the Redmi K50 Pro with much better hardware and save some bucks. The Redmi device costs ¥2,999 ($471), ¥3,299 ($518), and ¥3,999 ($628) for 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB memory configurations respectively.

However, there are two features that make the Samsung phone stand out. It is the only mid-range Android smartphone to offer 4 years of guaranteed OS updates and 5 years of security updates. Also, it is one of the few to come with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance in its price segment.

But these features don’t make sense for the Chinese consumers who are spec hungry. What are your thoughts on the Galaxy A53 5G’s pricing in China? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Redmi K50 Pro went official a few days ago as the world’s first mobile phone with the latest MediaTek flagship chipset. Due to the presence of the Dimensity 9000, this handset had a lot of attention and a lot of mobile enthusiasts are evaluating to make it their new main device. But is it really the best flagship killer in its price range? We believe the best way to know it is to compare it to the best flagship killer in the same segment. And currently, the best one is the Realme GT 2 Pro, now available all around the world with very interesting street prices. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Redmi K50 Pro.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro

Design

Realme GT 2 Pro is a green and sustainable phone. Two of its three color options are made with a special bio-polymer resembling the tactile feedback of the paper: Paper White and Paper Green. For those who do not “trust” this material, there is also a third color option called Steel Black with a glass back. All the color options of the Redmi K50 Pro come with a glass back and this phone adds the IP53 certification for dust resistance and splash resistance. The Realme GT 2 Pro looks more interesting due to its innovative materials and a better look for the camera module, that is the reason why it wins the design comparison.

Display

The displays of these two flagships are simply amazing. They are both OLED panels with a Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. But the Realme GT 2 Pro is superior because it is able to show up to one billion colors and it has the LTPO2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz which enhances the efficiency. Further, the Realme GT 2 Pro has an in-display fingerprint reader, while it is side-mounted on the Redmi K50 Pro. The position of the punch hole is also different, while the display diagonals are very close. Both the phones feature stereo speakers for an advanced audio experience.

Specs & Software

This is an important battle between the best chipset by Qualcomm and MediaTek. The Realme GT 2 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, while the Redmi K50 Pro comes with the Mediatek Dimensity 9000. According to most of the benchmarks, the Dimensity 9000 has better performance than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But it is still too early to understand whether or not this superiority reflects in daily usage. For now, the Dimensity 9000 is considered a better processor. The memory configurations include up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box, with customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

If you are looking for the best camera setup, then you should go for the Realme GT 2 Pro. It is equipped with a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera with a wide 150° FOV, and a microscope lens with 40x magnification for macro shots. The Redmi K50 Pro sports a 108 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Realme GT 2 Pro also comes with a better 32 MP front camera (instead of the 20 MP snapper of the K50 Pro).

Battery

The battery capacities of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Redmi K50 Pro are the same: 5000 mAh. This means that the processor will play the most important role in terms of battery life. But there should not be a big difference between the two phones. The Redmi K50 Pro charges faster thanks to 120W fast charging, while GT2 Pro supports 65W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the Redmi K50 Pro for the Chinese market roughly translates into €430/$476 (still not available in the global market), while the Realme GT 2 Pro starts from €750/$830 globally. If we do not consider the prices, the Realme GT 2 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its better camera and display. Do you agree?

The world’s first phones with the new MediaTek flagship mobile platforms are on the shelves. We are talking about the Redmi K50 and the Redmi K50 Pro: two amazing flagships sold at incredible prices. If you need a flagship killer with the lowest amount of money possible, these devices are definitely the ones worth considering. But what differs between the two models and which one should you opt for? You can understand it by discovering the differences between their specs sheets and this comparison between their specifications will help you a lot.

Xiaomi Redmi K50 vs Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro

Design

The Redmi K50 and the Redmi K50 Pro have exactly the same design. Even though their batteries have different capacities, even the dimensions and the weight of these two phones is identical. We even get the same color options: black, gray, blue, and green. The handsets feature a glass back and a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. They have the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant, as well as a side-mounted fingerprint reader. On the upper part, they sport an infrared port thanks to which you can use them as TV remotes, but they do not feature any audio jack.

Display

Even the displays of these two flagships are the same. The Redmi K50 and the Redmi K50 Pro come with an OLED panel sporting a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits. It is a great high-end panel and one of the few Quad HD+ displays you can find in their price range. The display is flat and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. As already said, there is no in-display fingerprint reader. But the phones come with powerful stereo speakers for a great multimedia experience.

Specs & Software

The Redmi K50 and the Redmi K50 Pro differ in their processors. The former is equipped with an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset built at 5 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, while the latter is fueled by the octa-core Mediatek Dimensity 9000 SoC built at 4 nm with a max frequency of 3.05 GHz. Both are high-end mobile platforms, but the Dimensity 9000 provides higher CPU and GPU performance because it is the best Mediatek SoC. Further, the Redmi K50 Pro comes in an additional memory configuration sporting 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The phones run Android 12 customized by MIUI 13 out of the box.

Camera

While the secondary sensors are again the same, the main camera of the two flagship killers is different. The vanilla Redmi K50 has a 48 MP sensor with OIS, while the Pro variant has a more advanced 108 MP camera with OIS. The latter is able to shoot more detailed photos in every condition. The secondary sensors are an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 2 MP macro camera. The front camera is a 20 MP snapper with 1080p video recording at 120 fps.

Battery

The only better specification of the Redmi K50 if compared to its Pro variant is the battery capacity. Despite being more affordable, it packs a bigger 5500 mAh battery providing a longer battery life. But the Pro variant has a faster charging technology with a power of 120W (against only 67W).

Price

The Redmi K50 carries a starting price of €340 or $376 in the Chinese market, while the Pro variant starts from €430 / $476 at the actual change. At the end of the day, there are only four differences between these two phones. The first is the processor: Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000, respectively. Then we got the main camera: a 48 MP main sensor against a 108 MP lens. Further, the battery capacities are 5500 mAh and 5000 mAh. Last but not least, the charging speeds.

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.

In terms of battery life, the Redmi K50 Pro packs a 5,000mAh battery and is equipped with the self-developed 4:1 Surge P1. The device has support for 120W fast charging which can go from zero to full charge in just 19 minutes. The Redmi K50 is equipped with a bigger 5,500mAh battery with 67W charging but that hasn’t impacted the thickness.

Redmi K50 Pro carries a starting price tag of RMB 2,999 (~$472) for the 8GB+128GB version while the Redmi K50 8GB+128GB version starts at RMB 2,399 (~$378). The models come in four colors, Black, Silver, Iridescent, and Green.

The post Redmi K50 series teaser confirms Samsung 2K display; launching on March 17 appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

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.

We have been compiling top stories regularly for the past few weeks. This time we thought to do something different. As you guys seem to be more interested in our coverage of leaks and rumors, we thought to put them together. Hence, in this article, we talk about the top leaks and rumors from last week.

In the last few days, we reported on leaks and rumors surrounding the most-awaited smartphones from multiple OEMs. Let’s take at them one by one in no particular order.

Top Leaks and Rumors from Last Week

Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro to sport vivo-like design

We finally got to see the design of the upcoming Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro last week. Unfortunately, the new-gen Redmi K series phones will drop their unique design language in favor of a rear design inspired by vivo. This design was first introduced by the Xiaomi group on Xiaomi CIVI.

Thanks to TENAA, we also know the maximum available memory configuration of Redmi’s flagship smartphone lineup. The  Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the Redmi K50 Pro+ will max at 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB respectively.

POCO F4 GT specs leak confirm Redmi K50G rebrand

The key specs of the yet-to-release POCO F4 GT leaked last week. According to them, the device will be indeed a rebadged Redmi K50G, which is also known as Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.

This is not surprising as the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition debuted as POCO F4 GT in global markets. Most importantly, the Redmi K50G was already spotted at certification websites as Redmi K50G.

There may not be a Xiaomi 12 Lite but new CIVI series phones instead

Earlier last week, a report revealed that Xiaomi 12 Lite will be a fusion of Xioami CIVI and Xiaomi 12.  A day later, another report disclosed that Xiaomi CIVI Pro may launch soon with slightly better specs than the original Xiaomi CIVI. This device was originally supposed to release as Xiaomi 12 Lite Zoom.

A few days from that, a Xiaomi exec confirmed that there will be no Xioami 12 Lite in 2022. This means the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite could release as a Xiaomi CIVI series phone in China alongside the so-called Xiaomi CIVI Pro. But we cannot rule out the possibility of it launching under Xiaomi 12 Lite branding in international markets.

vivo may release a ‘Note’

The long-rumored vivo NEX 5 is now expected to go official as vivo X Note. A leak from last week not only disclosed the phone’s name but also some of its specs.

The device is said to arrive with a 7-inch QHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, Qualcomm  Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN1 primary camera, 48MP Sony IMX598 secondary camera, 12MP Sony IMX663 tertiary camera, and 8MP OmniVision OV08A10 quaternary camera with 5x optical zoom lens, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

Next-gen Samsung A series is just around the corner

The key features of the forthcoming Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galax A33 5G, and Galaxy A23 5G emerged last week. The details about their display, chipset, camera, battery, and charging leaked.

All four will sport an FHD+ high refresh rate display and a quad-camera system. Most of them will have a 5,000mAh battery and a couple of them will have 25W fast charging support, while the remaining two will be limited to 15W charging.

Interestingly, only one of them will feature a Qualcomm chipset. Whereas, two models will come with MediaTek SoCs and the remaining one will house an Exynos chip.

Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi, is expected to launch the remaining models in the Redmi K50 series in March. Ahead of that, the vanilla and the Pro models recently leaked in renders revealing their design. Last evening, the brand’s general manager also hinted at the chipset powering one of these phones.

Yesterday, a netizen enquired about the availability of MediaTek Dimensity 9000-powered Redmi smartphone in the comment section of a post by Redmi GM Lu Weibing on Weibo. To this, the brand executive confirmed that the Redmi K50 series will carry the said chip.

For those unaware, the Dimensity 9000 SoC will make its debut on the OPPO Find X5 later today. The netizen also indirectly mentioned this in his comment.

Additionally, Digital Chat Station disclosed some key features of the upcoming Redmi K50 series with Dimensity 9000 chip earlier today. He says that this phone will arrive with 120W fast charging support, an x-axis vibration motor, stereo speakers tuned by JBL, and a good display.

Going by the renders shared by @OnLeaks, the Redmi K50 and the Redmi K50 Pro look like vivo smartphones. They will have a rectangular camera island with the sensors arranged in a rectangular form.

We are looking forward to learning more about the Redmi K50 series before its official announcement sometime later next month. Do let us know your expectations of the handsets in the comment section below.

The post Redmi K50 series confirmed to feature Dimensity 9000 SoC appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi K50G went official last week as the first smartphone in the Redmi K50 series. The sub-brand of Xiaomi is expected to release the remaining models next month. One of them called Redmi K50 Pro has now appeared in renders revealing its entire design.

The 3D CAD renders of Redmi K50 Pro come from reliable leaker @OnLeaks (Steve Hemmerstoffer). He has partnered with Zoutons.ae to share these pictures.

According to the images, the upcoming Redmi K50 Pro will house a triangular camera module on the rear. It will be somewhat similar to the Xiaomi CIVI with a flat display instead of a curved screen.

This design is clearly inspired by vivo and iQOO. The two brands used to have this very same triangular camera island design on their smartphones up until recently.

It is sad to see Redmi giving up the unique camera layout used on the Redmi K40 series. Even Xiaomi dropped its iconic Mi 11 series camera design with the introduction of the Xiaomi 12 series featuring a design used by OnePlus and realme.

Coming back to the Redmi K50 Pro, Steve says that it will measure 163.2 x 76.2 x 8.7mm in dimensions. The thickness will be 11.4mm if the camera bump is considered.

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.

The front of the device will sport a display with a tiny centered punch-hole, minimal bezels on three sides, and a noticeable chin. Finally, as the power key seems to be too small to house a fingerprint sensor, we think that the biometric sensor could be under the display.

Unfortunately, the exact specs of the handset are a mystery. But we are looking forward to learning about them in the coming days.

The poster released by the brand gives a first look at one of the Redmi K50 series of smartphones. Likely, the teased device is likely to debut in the market as the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.

The smartphone shown in the poster can be seen sporting a triple camera unit on its back. The camera module seems to be integrated with RGB lighting. In addition, the device also features mechanical trigger buttons, which indicates that it will be a gaming-focused device.

The post Redmi K50 series launch date, K50 Gaming Edition design confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Redmi K50 series in China quite soon. While the company is yet to confirm a release date, the devices could be launched later this month. A case leak from earlier today had shown what the devices’ rear could look like, but a newer one now actually shows the Redmi K50 Pro, or at least its renders.

A post from Fast Technology Official on Weibo has showcased a couple of cases for the Redmi K50 Pro in orange and purple colors. The creator of the render was kind enough to leave the device inside the cases, revealing some key details about its design for the first time.

Judging from the leak, the Redmi K50 Pro will be coming with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor just like the Redmi K40 series. The K series has always been a performance-above-all kind of offering, so under-display fingerprint tech has likely been given a miss due to its higher cost. Of course, this lacking will be made up for by other specifications.

The leak also shows that the Redmi K50 Pro will sport a triple rear camera setup arranged in a triangle. The primary is expected to be a 108MP sensor, as printed at the back of the case. A flash unit will sit beneath the cameras.

While not really indicated yet, it is safe to assume that the standard Redmi K50 model will feature a near-identical design, meaning cases for the Pro model will most possibly be compatible with it too.

It is unclear whether the case leaks in question are official or concern high-quality third-party accessories.

Models from the Redmi K50 series are expected to follow a naming scheme akin to the current models. As such, the Redmi K50 will likely be dubbed as the POCO F4 globally and perhaps as the Xiaomi 12X in India.

Internally, the K50 will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset while the K50 Pro will pack MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chipset. They will also come with fast charging support, rated at 66W and 67W respectively.

The phones will be running the MIUI 13 custom user interface based on the Android 12 operating system. The company will be launching four models in the lineup and three of them have already passed through the TENAA certification process in China, which indicates that the launch date for these smartphones isn’t far away.
