Redmi K50 & K50 Pro Unboxing & First Impression- True flagship killers

Sudhanshu — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 13:48:00 +0000

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.

We are also giving away the Redmi AirDots 3 Pro Genshin Impact limited edition TWS earbuds, so if you are interested, you can participate by following this link.

Sudhanshu — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 15:23:29 +0000

Last week, Redmi launched its first device in the latest K50 smartphone lineup dubbed the Redmi K50G (aka the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition). The remaining models in the lineup like the K50, K50 Pro, and K50 Pro+ are expected to launch next month.

Redmi K50 Renders

1 of 4

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.

Camera specs of the K50 are still under wraps as so far we know that it’ll come with a triple camera setup. 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).

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

Jed John Ikoba — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 20:20:29 +0000

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.
