edition will come with a center punch-hole display. This is the case with the
previous generation, the Redmi K40 gaming edition. Furthermore, this device
will have solid magnetic-floating gaming shoulder keys which was the most
popular gaming configuration of the previous generation. s for the back design,
the Redmi K50 e-sports version will be different from other gaming phones on
the market. It will not bring an overly exaggerated design but will make some
game-related elements that are more suitable for daily use.
According to previous reports, the Redmi
K50 e-sports version will come with a 6.67-inch flexible screen from Huaxing
Optoelectronics. It will not use a screen fingerprint sensor but will use side
fingerprints like the previous generation. As for the body size, the
measurements of the Redmi K50 e-sports version is about 162 x 76.8 x 8.45 mm
and the weight is 210g. Redmi will officially unveil the flagship Redmi K50
series next month. The company has since confirmed that this series will have a
model with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC. This model will have a dual VC cooling
system as well as a strong performance. The Redmi K50 gaming edition will use
the flagship Snapdragon processor. Since it is not a conventional product, it
will be thicker than the regular products so that the cooling system,
processor, and other chips can fit in.
The Redmi K50 gaming edition recently
appeared on GeekBench 5 database. The smartphone has model number 21121210C.

points while the multi-core score is 3645 points. This score is not much better
than the “big brother” Xiaomi 12 Pro, even in single-core. It can be slightly
stronger. In addition to the core performance, the charging speed of the Redmi
K50gaming edition is also very good this time. Although it has a built-in 4700
mAh large-capacity battery, it will come with a 120W Immortal Second Charge

is the fastest charging speed in the history of Redmi.

right fuselage will retain the physical shoulder button, which can bring a
stronger game control experience. On the whole, the Redmi K50 gaming edition is
a top-level performance flagship that is truly geared towards gaming.
