Back in late November, a report gave some insights into the upcoming Redmi K50 Gaming series. Two months later, the higher model of those two devices has emerged on the IMEI database revealing its official marketing name. As expected, this phone will be known as POCO F4 GT in international markets.

According to Xiaomiui, the IMEI database has updated the listing of Xiaomi Matisse’s (L10) Global variant (21121210G) with its final market name. Previously, it was only mentioned as a POCO-branded handset. But now, we know that it will be sold as POCO F4 GT.

For the unware, this smartphone has two more regional variants, namely China (21121210C) and India (21121210I). In Xiaomi’s home country, the device is rumored to launch as Redmi K50 Gaming Edition Pro. Whereas, in India, it may bear the same POCO F4 GT name like the Global variant.

Talking about specs, the phone was previously said to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, a 120Hz or 144Hz OLED display, Goodix/FPC in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 64MP Sony IMX686 or 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 primary camera, a 13MP OmniVision OV13B10 ultra-wide camera, an 8MP OmniVision OV08856 telemacro camera, and a 2MP GalaxyCore GC02M1 depth sensor.

But now, for some reason, Xaomiui calls this phone Ingres instead of Matisse and paints a different set of specifications.

Last week, we reported on the alleged model numbers of the Xiaomi 12 and the Redmi K50 series of phones. A few days from that, more details about two of those devices have emerged. Let’s take a look at what these handsets have to offer.

Xiaomiui has spilled beans on two upcoming Xiaomi smartphones, codenamed Matisse and Rubens. These devices bear shortened model numbers L10 and L11A respectively. Information about the duo has been found in the MIUI code and the IMEI database.

Xiaomi Matisse (L10)

Xiaomi Matisse will have three regional variants, namely China, Global, and India. This is based on its model numbers 21121210C, 21121210G, and 21121210I registered in the IMEI database.

In China, it will be sold under the Redmi brand, whereas in other markets, it will flaunt POCO branding. As the first four digits of the model numbers of Xioami devices indicate their release year and month, this phone could make its debut in December 2012. 

However, Xiaomiui suggests that Xiaomi may not be able to release it in time as the handset’s software is still in development.

As far as specs are concerned, the smartphone is said to be powered by the recently unveiled MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC. It is expected to have either a 120Hz or a 144Hz OLED display with a mixture of Goodix and FPC in-screen fingerprint sensors.

For photography and videography, it will house quad cameras on the rear. The setup will include a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor,  a 13MP OmniVision OV13B10 ultra-wide unit, an 8MP OmniVision OV08856 telemacro shooter, and a 2MP GalaxyCore GC02M1 depth sensor. There’s also a variant of this phone with a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 main camera.

Lastly, talking about names, the handset is expected to go official as Redmi K50 Gaming or Redmi K50 Gaming Pro in China and POCO F4 GT in other markets.

Xiaomi Rubens (L11A)

Xiaomi Rubens currently only has a ‘China’ variant with model number 22041211AC. Unsurprisingly, the smartphone will feature Redmi branding in its home country. 

Xiaomiui says that this device could go official as Redmi K50 Gaming Standard Edition. That’s because the Chinese Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, which is sold as POCO X3 GT in international markets was initially called Redmi K40 Gaming Standard Edition in its development stage.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G and the Redmi K40 Gaming house chipsets from the same family, Dimensity 1100 and Dimensity 1200 to be exact. Similarly, Xiaomi Rubens is said to be powered by the unannounced Dimensity 7000 chip, which is rumored to be the toned-down version of Dimensity 9000 expected to feature inside Xiaomi Matisse.

Unfortunately, not much is known about this handset, except that it will have triple rear cameras. The setup will include a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW3 primary sensor.

According to its model number, the smartphone is scheduled to go official in April 2022.
