Xiaomi Redmi K50 Series Update

We are hearing a lot of buzz about the Redmi K50 Series. The latest tip is that it is scheduled to be launched in February 2022. The launch date should be taken with a grain of salt, just because it doesn’t come from official sources. Yet again the reliable tipster known as Digital Chat Station is the first one making these claims.

The interesting twist in this story is that the Redmi K40 lineup was also released during the same period this year. It comes as a no surprise that the K50 series will consist of four (maybe five) models: K50, K50 Pro, K50 Pro+, K50 Gaming and K50 Gaming Pro.

This article is not about the K50 Gaming Pro. Supposedly, that model will actually be released in April 2022.
