The new Redmi K50 line will debut in two versions with different processors, but Xiaomi’s main bet is on the Qualcomm processor version, leaving the launch of the MediaTek model for later.
The information is from Xiaomi CEO Lu Weibing, who commented in response to the company’s fans that the Redmi K50 will arrive first with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, followed by the version with Dimensity 9000 a little later. Unfortunately, he didn’t give more details about the devices or when they will actually be presented, something that should be revealed in the coming days.
We currently know that Xiaomi is preparing four models of the line: the Redmi K50, K50 Pro, K50 Pro Plus and K50 Gaming. The models will have different nomenclature in the rest of the world.
