The Redmi Note 11T Pro makes its way to the Indian market as the Redmi K50i

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus in China this May. The devices offered 144Hz high refresh rate LCD panels and MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 chipset at an affordable price, making them great picks for budget-conscious mobile gamers. Xiaomi has now brought one of these devices to the Indian market but with a different marketing name — the Redmi K50i.

The new Redmi K50i is a rebranded Redmi Note 11T Pro, featuring the same hardware. It’s indistinguishable from the Chinese model in almost all aspects since Xiaomi hasn’t made any changes to its design either. So, if you’re already familiar with the Chinese Redmi Note 11T Pro, you probably know what to expect from the new Redmi K50i. If not, here’s a quick overview.
