Redmi K50 series launch in China has been scheduled for February 16.

The smartphone will pack a 4,700mAh battery with an impressive fast charging speed. The smartphone is claimed to be the fastest charging smartphone equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Additionally, Redmi has also announced a partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, hinting at a special edition smartphone.

Through a post on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing confirmed the battery and charging specifications of the upcoming Redmi K50 Gaming Edition. As mentioned, the gaming smartphone from Redmi will pack a 4,700mAh battery and it will support 120W fast charging.

However, the post also mentions that the 17-minutes charge time is achieved when the fast-charging acceleration mode is manually turned on in the device.
