Redmi may soon launch a new K-series smartphone in India. Thus, the popular K-series could make a highly anticipated return to the country. To recap, the Redmi K20 Pro was launched in India in 2019. The brand celebrated its 3rd anniversary by showing a movie to device owners across India. Now some Redmi fans claim to have seen an image that read “K is back”. Unfortunately, key details in the image were scarce.
Redmi put an end to all speculation by posting the same graphics on its social media handles. The post has the hashtag #RedmiKisback. So it’s safe to assume that Redmi is gearing up to bring the K-series back to India after a long hiatus. Notably, encrypted social media posts do not confirm the device’s nickname. However, a report from MySmartPrice suggests that it will launch as Redmi K50i 5G in India. Now, the K50i 5G has been floating around in the rumor mill for quite some time.
Redmi K50i 5G India launched around the corner
Past leaks suggest that the launch of the Redmi K50i 5G smartphone in India is just around the corner. Additionally, some of the main specs of the handset have recently surfaced online. If the rumors circulating online turn out to be true, the Redmi K50i 5G India launch will take place this month. Also, the handset might turn out to be a rebranded Redmi Note 11T Pro 5G. The same device was launched worldwide as the Poco X4 GT with the same specs. The K50i 5G has already obtained BIS certification. This is a sign that the handset is heading to India.
