As part of this series, the Chinese giant strives to stay true to its original ideas, releasing high-quality and not too expensive smartphones, which will be called “top for the money” in the reviews. With an average price of around $500, Redmi K smartphones are equipped with advanced cameras, high-end displays, capacious batteries and other attributes of AAA-class products, but they are no stranger to saving on secondary things like a smart camera or wireless charging.


The model range of the K series is usually formed as follows: first, the original numbered smartphone K30, K40, K50, etc. enters the market. Then the counters begin to fill with numerous modifications. First, these are “firmware” with a slightly better camera and a large amount of RAM. Then the turn comes to improved models with the prefix S in the title. And somewhere between them, game modifications of Redmi K Gaming appear, which often differ significantly from the originals. It is the latter that are most popular with the public.

At the time of this writing (note: October 2022), the most interesting, relevant and popular representative of this series is the Redmi K50 Gaming smartphone. At a cost of just over $ 500, the potential owner gets a device of almost flagship level with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, fast 120-watt charging, a 120-Hz AMOLED screen, additional control keys, an advanced cooling system and stereo speakers from JBL. The appearance of the device was developed by the designers of the Mercedes AMG F1 team.
