Redmi K50 Gaming Edition: the new Xiaomi mobile
Since its launch, the new Xiaomi mobile known as the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has not stopped generating expectations. And it is thanks, in large part, to its incredible features that are complemented by an incredible price in the market.
It is a low-cost model, but it will incorporate a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, being one of the last processors to be launched. To learn more about its specifications, read on.
Redmi K50 Gaming Edition: features
Although it has a powerful processor and components that complement its operation, the K50 is much more than that.
In essence, it is a mobile that will be launched exclusively for the gaming public. It is because its features in terms of design and hardware allow it to offer better performance in any title.
It is worth adding that, in China, it is known as the Redmi K line. But, for the rest of the world and in Spain, these devices arrive under the name of POCO. Without further ado, let's get to know its most outstanding features.
Design
When it comes to design, elegance shines through in every detail of the new K50, thanks in part to the collaboration with F1 Mercedes AMG.
However, all eyes are on the triggers that the new POCO F5 will incorporate. It is not surprising if we consider that it is a smartphone made to play.
The triggers have the ability to be retractable, representing an advantage in shooting video game titles, such as COD Mobile.
On the other hand, the camera module is simple, since it is not its main strength. In essence, they are two lenses arranged vertically, where the flash is located in the middle.
Screen
In order to provide a better visual experience, the K50 incorporates an AMOLED screen with Full HD + technology. That way, the resolution reaches a level of 2400 x 1080 pixels.
This visual quality is integrated with a refresh rate that reaches 120 Hz, allowing the mobile to acquire greater fluidity. On the other hand, touch sampling is located in a range of 480 hertz.
Also, it has a size of approximately 6.67 inches, being a suitable size to play.
Camera
Being the least essential section of the mobile, it does not stop stocking up on an immense photographic quality. In that sense, it is equipped with a rear sensor that reaches 64 MP, together with an 8 MP ultra wide angle.
However, the presence of the third lens could be testimonial, since the 2 MP macro does not make a big difference.
Finally, for taking front cameras, there is a lens on the front with 20 MP.
Taking into account the characteristics of the camera of the new Redmi K50 Gaming Edition, it seems that it will not only be for games. And although it is not at the level in the photographic field that its model brothers, it provides what is necessary for capturing images.
Not to mention that, thanks to the excellent processor and the fluidity of the screen, the camera panel acquires a greater fluidity. Therefore, the popular hanging screen is largely avoided.
Power
We are perhaps talking about what the users of the brand will notice the most when purchasing it. And it is that, being a mobile for gamers, the logical thing would be for it to have the ideal components that support it.
Such is the case of its processor, specifically the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, considered the best Qualcomm has created so far. It means that he will be able to run to the title that demands the most from his components.
In addition to the processor, it has a RAM of 8 or 12 GB type LPDDR5 that will facilitate better performance. On the other hand, the storage capacity can be 128 or 256 GB, which have the fastest technology such as UFS 3.1.
Additional features
Having touched on the most important aspects of the mobile, we must not forget about other components that help it to be what it is.
One of them is the battery, which has a level of 4,700 mAh, one of the highest that can be achieved in mobile phones. This is logical given that higher quality games demand more performance from the processor, and therefore from the battery.
Also, its fast charge reaches 120 W, allowing the K50 to reach the maximum level in a short time.
Another component to highlight is that it incorporates a liquid cooler to help the processor in the most demanding tasks.
In the area of connectivity, the K50 for gamers does not disappoint in allowing users to enjoy the best Internet connection. It owes it specifically to its 5G technology, Wi-Fi 6+, as well as NFC components.
The Redmi K50 Gaming Edition has already sold out of stock
After being recently announced, users had to wait until February 18 of this year to acquire the new Chinese terminal.
For the company, it was a complete success, since they managed to sell all the available units of the product on the same day, in less than 10 minutes. Specifically, up to 70,000 K50 mobiles were sold, the usefulness of which is already being examined by experts.
Thanks to this sale, Xiaomi managed to raise at least 280 million yuan, the local currency of the region. In exchange, it would be approximately 39 million euros.
