It is worth noting that there will be three models in the K50 series, including the Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro and the Redmi K50 Pro+. Most of the features of these three models will remain the same, but there will be differences in processors, cameras and fast charging.
In addition, some sources revealed that the Redmi K50 series will support a 100W fast charging for the first time. Moreover, it should reach at least 120W fast charging.

Also, there is a possibility of using an E5 screen material.
Lastly, the Redmi K50 will sport an upgraded camera module compared to the current models. The Pro variants came with a 108-megapixel main camera, while the vanilla version featured a 48-megapixel main camera.
