Xiaomi is likely to launch a new smartphone in its hometown in February 2022. The Redmi K50 is expected to be launched in the mid-range segment, which means it will not have MediaTek 9000 processor and might be powered by the MediaTek 8000 processor.
Earlier, a report suggested that the smartphone will have MediaTek 870 processor; however, a new leak by Digital Chat Station suggested that it will be available on MediaTek 8000 processor. Besides, another report claims that both Realme GT Neo 3 might have the same chipset.
Even though there is no such information about the upcoming smartphone, but still, it seems that both will compete in the market and might price under the same bracket.
However, several reports claim that the Redmi K50 series might have four models, such as K50, K50 Pro, K50 Pro+ and K50 gaming. This is quite similar to the Redmi K40 series; however, the model of the Redmi K40 is rebranded as Poco F3.
The Redmi K50 Pro+ is expected to be the most premium model of the upcoming series that will have a 108MP primary camera along with a periscope telephoto unit. In addition, the Redmi K50 Gaming smartphone is expected to have a 64MP primary camera that might have 5,000 mAh battery.
MediaTek 8000 Processor Details
It is worth noting that MediaTek is yet to launch an 8000 processor and will be available in mid-range devices. In addition, the MediaTek chipset has a 165Hz refresh rate, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage.
In addition, the chipset will have Mali-G510 MC6 GPU that should be 22 percent faster than the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.
The MediaTek Dimensity 8000 processor will also have QHD+ display support. In addition, the upcoming processor will have a 165Hz refresh rate, UFS 3.1 storage, and LPDDR5 RAM. Notably, the company has recently announced the launch of a 9000 processor.
Additionally, the company announced that leading smartphones players like Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, and Honor will launch their devices on the same chipset soon.
“The next Find X flagship will be the first to be launched with the Dimensity 9000 flagship platform. This is a premium device that brings together so many cutting-edge features in one device and we know users will be impressed with its breakthrough performance and outstanding energy efficiency,” said Henry Duan, Vice President at OPPO.
