So far, the China-exclusive Redmi K50 lineup includes three models: the Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition (aka Redmi K50G). The K50G is the most powerful of the three, as it features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. A new leak courtesy of Digital Chat Station reveals what to expect from the Redmi K50 Ultra, which may launch in the second half of 2022.
The Chinese tipster has shared some key details of a flagship device that will debut in the second half of this year. Although the tipster hasn’t revealed the moniker of the device, the comments section of the Weibo post suggests that he could be talking about the Redmi K50 Ultra.
The Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are powered by the Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 chipsets, respectively. Both smartphones are equipped with OLED panels that support a Quad HD+ resolution. On the other hand, the more powerful Redmi K50G has a Full HD+ display. So, it looks like Redmi might make a flagship phone with a Quad HD+ display and a Snapdragon 8-series chipset.
According to the tipster, the second half of 2022 will see a smartphone featuring a flat display that supports a Quad HD+ resolution. The screen will have a punch-hole design. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. He has also claimed that there could be a Dimensity chipset variant of the device. It will have a large battery that will carry support for 100W charging.
Redmi is yet to confirm the existence of the Redmi K50 Ultra. So, it’s best to wait until more news comes out to learn more about the alleged device.
