Xiaomi’s sub-brand, Redmi, announced today that they will be revealing the New Redmi K50 Gaming Edition
on February 16th at an event in China. The smartphone company also shared a few posters on Weibo, with one of
them revealing the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition’s design. The smartphone still features the shoulder triggers from the
previous version, and there’s also a lightning bolt-shaped flash module next to the three cameras, with the cutout
having the words “Freezing” and “Speediest” written on the left and right sides. The new device is expected to come
with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the Mediatek Dimensity 9000 The Pro phone will have 120W fast charging
A “cold-blooded flagship” (translated from Chinese), is what Redmi called the device in the recent poster releases
on Weibo.
The company also hasn’t confirmed if it will unveil the Redmi K50, Redmi K50 Pro, and Redmi K50 Pro+ on
February 16, but we should be expecting more than one Redmi K50 series smartphone to go official next
Wednesday.
With the event still a week away, Redmi will likely share more teasers in the coming days to build hype around the
Redmi K50 series.
