The Redmi K50 is tipped to draw power from a Snapdragon 870 processor, paired with at least 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Under the hood, it should run on Android 12-based MIUI 13 and pack a 4,200mAh battery with 44W fast-charging support. In terms of connectivity, the device should offer support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, 5G, and a Type-C port.
