Redmi will re-introduce K-series smartphones in India with the K50i 5G

Redmi India may be planning to release its next K-series phone in India, according to a recent tweet. Recent reports have revealed that the company’s next smartphone will be called K50i 5G. It is unclear whether the K50i Pro 5G will launch alongside it.

After Redmi K20 and the Redmi K20 Pro smartphones, devices like the Redmi K30 and the Redmi K40 never came to India. It now looks like the company is all set to bring back the K series of smartphones in India and the K50i 5G will be an upper mid-range smartphone.

Redmi K50i 5G is expected to launch this month in India which essentially could be a rebranded version of the Note 11T Pro 5G. Poco also had recently launched the same device as POCO X4 GT globally with exact specifications.
