Today, on the first working day of the new year, Redmi brand manager Lu Weibing made a statement through his Weibo channel . He said that they have already started preparatory work for the launch of the upcoming Redmi K50 flagship series and he will be leading the team. In addition, he joked by saying which feature the team should mess with first. The series is expected to open after the Spring Festival. [The last one is the Chinese New Year, which starts on January 31st and ends on February 6th.]
Size 9000
In fact, we know almost everything about the benefits of Redmi K50. The most interesting feature will be the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip under the hood. But this does not mean that all models in the line will use this SoC. There will be about five models - Redmi K50, K50 Pro, K50 Pro + and K50 Gaming Edition, Redmi K50 SE. Let's say the K50 and K50 SE should ship with the Dimensity 7000; the game version will have the mentioned Dimensity 9000; Redmi K50 Pro should come with Snapdragon 870; K50 Pro+ could be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Looking at these SoCs, we can assume that the most powerful version will be Redmi K50 Pro+.
But if we go back to the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition, the Dimensity 9000 doesn't lag far behind Qualcomm's competitors. It uses TSMC's 4nm process technology and consists of 1 super-core Cortex-X2 3,05 GHz, 3 large Cortex-A710 2,85 GHz cores and 4 energy efficient Cortex-A510 cores. In AnTuTu, the chip managed to score over 1 million points.
Features of Redmi K50
The next important point will be the screen. According to the leaked information, Redmi K50 will use Samsung's high-quality flexible display. Like the previous year's Redmi K40, it will use an OLED display. As we have heard, Redmi's internal planning for new products includes five aspects: independent display, LCD display, E6 OLEDs, adaptive refresh rate technology, and 2K ultra-clear resolution. It is worth noting that the resolution, E6 material, independent display chip and other specifications are all new configurations that have never been applied by the Redmi brand before. Redmi K50 is likely to be the first Redmi 2K model and supports higher refresh rate settings. All models will use a single hole centered straight shield design.
Other features: 100W dual cell flash charging, MIUI 13 out of the box, 108MP camera and so on.
