Xiaomi will be launching the Redmi K50i, its latest mid-ranger in the Indian market this week Wednesday at 12 PM New Delhi Time.

The brand has been teasing the launch of the Redmi K50i on its official social media accounts for a while, and currently, with what is available online so far, we have rounded up all the details that you should know about the Redmi K50i before its official launch.

Redmi K50i Specifications

The Redmi K50i is essentially a rebranded Poco X4 GT (that is available globally) or a rebadged Redmi Note 11T Pro (that is sold exclusively in China) which both we saw launched earlier in the year 2022.

Rebranding aside, the Redmi K50i is a very solid handset powered by MediaTek’s popular Dimensity 8100 SoC, found on competing devices, like the Realme GT Neo 3. Performance-wise, the SoC has proven to be competitive, as in early benchmarks with the Redmi K50i, it scored higher than both the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 devices, and the Apple A15 Bionic equipped smartphones in Antutu benchmark.

Powering the Redmi K50i is a 5080 mAh battery cell, with support for Xiaomi’s 67W fast wired charging solution, in which the 67W charger is included with the package. It will sport a 6.6-inch FHD+ IPS LCD screen with up to 144Hz refresh rate, up to 650 nits of peak brightness, and support for Dolby Vision content.

Cameras-wise, the Redmi K50i goes the conventional route with a triple camera setup at the rear and a selfie camera housed within the top centre punch hole in front of the display. The rear camera setup consists of a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro snapper, while the front facing camera has a high resolution 20MP camera for selfies and video calls.

Buyers will also be glad to hear that the Redmi K50i still retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, whilst still featuring a dual stereo speaker setup with support for Dolby Atmos. The Redmi K50i is also expected to feature great haptics as well with its linear x-axis vibration motor. The device comes equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and runs MIUI 13 based on Android 12 out of the box.

Redmi K50i Pricing, Colors and Storage Options

The Redmi K50i will be available in 3 show-stopping colour variants: Phantom Blue, Stealth Black, and Quick Silver.

And as for memory configurations, the device can be configured with up to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage.

Pricing-wise, we have earlier reported on a leak that mentions that the base 6GB + 128GB variant will be priced between 24,000 INR and 28,000 INR (roughly 303 to 353 US Dollars), while the highest end 8GB + 256GB model will reportedly cost around 29,000 to 33,000 INR (roughly 367 to 417 US Dollars). The report also shared some availability details, like the Chinese tech giant partnering up with HDFC for instant discount offers for its customers.
