Redmi K50 Gaming Edition powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC debuted in China this week and there is no official announcement from Xiaomi about the global launch of the smartphone yet. However, a new leak says that Redmi K50 Gaming Edition could be rebranded as Poco F4 GT in the global markets. A screenshot of MIUI code that shows the name of both handsets has also surfaced online. Redmi K50 Gaming Edition features a 120Hz refresh rate display, triple rear camera setup, and a 4,700mAh battery with 120W fast wired charging support. Poco F4 GT is likely to succeed Poco F3 GT in India.
Xiaomiui, a website that tracks news about Xiaomi’s MIUI OS skin, tweeted a screenshot of MIUI code that shows the names of Redmi K50 Gaming Edition and Poco F4 GT. The leak claims that Redmi K50G will launch as Poco F4 GT in India and other global markets. This is in line with past reports.
