India Today
Redmi K50 Gaming Edition brings with it, a promise of top-notch specifications and some dedicated features for gamers. Here is a look at what the latest gaming smartphone has to offer.
After months of anticipation, Redmi has announced its new gaming smartphone, the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition. Loaded with top specifications that specifically target smartphone gamers, the new Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will take on other gaming phones in the mid-budget category. For those wanting a little extra, there is also a Redmi K50 AMG F1 Champion Edition alongside the regular variant.
The new Redmi devices have been launched in China and will be exclusive to the country for now. However, there is a very high chance that Xiaomi will bring them to India and other global markets too. Since the gaming phone segment is picking up steam, also indicated by the recent launch of the Asus ROG Phone 5s series, Xiaomi would not like to miss out on a presence in the category anywhere in the world.
The China launch of the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition is thus an important indicator of what to expect from the phone as and when it is available in India. Here is a look at it and all that it brings in detail.
Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has been launched in three memory variants. The base option with 8GB RAM and 128GB is priced at CNY 3,299, or about Rs 39,000, while a 12GB RAM, 128GB storage option costs CNY 3,599, roughly around Rs 42,600. The top-of-the-line option comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage and is priced at CNY 3,899, or around Rs 46,000.
There are three colour options available for the phone - Black, Blue, and Silver. Then there is a special-edition variant named Redmi K50 AMG F1 Champion Edition, which comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and is priced at CNY 4,199, about Rs 49,700.
Pre-bookings for the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition have already started in China. The phone will go on open sale from February 18.
One look at the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition and you will know it is a gaming phone, with its angular highlights on the rear panel and on the camera module, dedicated shoulder keys and a full view display at the front. In fact, this is also the aspect in which the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition differs from the Redmi K50 AMG F1 Champion Edition, as the latter comes with many brandings symbolising the partnership.
