Gizchina News of the week
As per the report, the Redmi K50 Ultra already got its 3C certification. The device carries model number 22081212C and will bring 120 W fast charging. This charging standard currently is the best offering on Xiaomi’s commercially available smartphones.
Interestingly, there were rumors also suggesting a 100 W fast-charging large battery. The capacity is unclear, but we could even bet on a 5,000 mAh battery. So far, smartphone OEMs are having a hard time trying to pair ultra-fast charging with large batteries. After all, the dual-cell tech is necessary to withstand this charging speed. However, Xiaomi already proved it’s capable of overcoming certain challenges. According to the rumors, the Redmi K50 Ultra will hit China with this moniker. However, across overseas markets, it will carry Xiaomi 12T Pro.
The K50i was the latest entry in the K50 series for the Indian market. However, it’s basically a Redmi Note 11T Pro+ with a different moniker.
