Editorial report

Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Edition 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Edition suits buyers looking for a fluid display and powerful hardware. The China configuration has a significant drawback: it has no Google Services and no direct operating system updates. That matters when choosing the phone, particularly for anyone whose everyday use depends on those services.

Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display combines a 144 Hz refresh rate with 446 ppi; both figures are among the best of its time. The panel also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Always-On Display. For performance, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and an AnTuTu result of 1,411,227 put its hardware ahead of most phones launched around the same time.

The 108 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, while the f/1.73 aperture is better than most. The camera has optical image stabilization and records 4K video at 60 fps. Its 120 W charging is also among the fastest of its time, and the battery capacity is 5,000 mAh. Connectivity is among the best of its time. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, with no expansion; the phone is also sold in configurations up to 12 GB / 512 GB. Overall, it is among the best phones of its time and earns a NeoScore of 7.2. It is a compelling fit for buyers prioritizing the screen, performance, and fast charging, provided the absence of Google Services suits their needs.
