News about the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition

It’s a common tradition among Chinese manufacturers that, just a few days before the launch, they reveal some key features of their devices — and Redmi is no exception. A short while ago, Weibo surfaced posters revealing some interesting details about the new gaming beast.

In the image above, you can see the great gaming design that will be iconic for the K50 Gaming Edition. Mobile gaming fans will definitely appreciate this elaborate look. At the same time, Redmi also showed a new color option that’s more minimalist and less controversial.

When it comes to the camera setup, both the front and rear will be backed by Japan’s Sony. The selfie camera will be handled by the high-quality Sony IMX596 sensor with a resolution of 20 MPx, along with the latest AI algorithms. The back, in turn, will feature the well-known and proven Sony IMX686 sensor.

The 64 MPx IMX686 sensor promises really sharp photos full of detail even in poor lighting. Redmi also shared an image created with this very sensor on its Weibo profile, and we have to admit the result is truly impressive.

Battery and fast charging also confirmed

Besides the camera specs, we also learned the battery and charging specifications through Redmi’s official Weibo profile. The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition will be powered by a 4700 mAh battery and will offer ultra-fast 120 W charging, which — according to the manufacturer — can charge the phone in an insane 17 minutes.

These are currently all the important updates that Redmi is teasing ahead of its ever-closer launch. Reminder: the conference date is February 16 at 12:00, and we definitely won’t miss this event.
