Xiaomi has announced a new gaming smartphone Redmi K50 Gaming. This is the first device created by the Chinese brand in collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team: a special limited version in the colors of the racing team will be available.

The Redmi K40 Gaming successor retained the physical triggers on the right side of the device and received an updated cooling system with two vapor chambers and graphene sheets, which allows you to use all the features of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 without overheating.

The smartphone received a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with FHD + resolution, a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a sensor sampling rate of 480 Hz. The panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

The stereo system from JBL is responsible for the sound.

The 4,700mAh battery supports up to 120W charging, so you can reach a full charge in 17 minutes. During the presentation, Xiaomi showed a time-lapse, during which the smartphone was fully charged in 37 minutes while playing MOBA at the same time.
