Overview Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition

Android version and market relevance

In August 2022 Xiaomi company introduced its new smartphone Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition. This is a new model with support for two SIM cards and 5G-network, which is running on 12.

If you think that for today such an android smartphone on the version 12 already outdated, then we advise you to look DROID-smartphones in our directory, where we collected a list of devices on the latest version of Android.

Screen, body and battery

The case Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition has got interesting features: very thin side frames, cutout above the screen for a selfie camera and sensors.

The screen Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition is made using the OLED technology, has a diagonal 6.67 inches and refresh rate 144 Hz. If the smoothness of the interface is important for you (especially in mobile games), then you need to choose smartphones with screens that have a refresh rate higher than 120 times per second. Such a very large main touch screen certainly affects the dimensions of the case, which has a thickness of 8.6 mm. Also inside the case is a battery with a capacity of 5 000 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

Let′s briefly describe the cameras in Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition. The main camera got several modules (triple camera smartphones): 108 MP Wide + 8 MP UltraWide + 2 MP Macro. Why, for example, has multiple lenses in a smartphone camera become the absolute norm on the market today? Because with these smartphones you can take beautiful portraits with blurred backgrounds (this is called the Bokeh effect). And manufacturers have also learned to make software enhancements to photography based on the analysis of frames from each lens. It seems that this is exactly the case when it is better to see once than read about it a hundred times. Therefore, we advise you to take a few shots yourself with the camera of this smartphone.

The front camera has one module: 20 MP Wide. This is a very good selfie-camera, which will shoot high-quality photos, so you share them with your friends in social networks and not only. This model has a front camera as usual at the top of the screen, like 99.9% of all smartphones. But, if this makes you bored, then we can offer smartphones with pop-up front camera. In these models, the front camera is located inside the body and goes up only when you activate the front camera mode. It sounds interesting, but how convenient it is and how long this mechanism will work is not yet clear.

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition is installed 8-core processor on the chipset Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm). As for RAM, the memory module is used here 12 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications only on the built-in smartphone memory, because the support for memory cards is not implemented here. You are only available 512 GB built-in memory, so you need to be more careful about what you store on the device.

Price for Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition: buy or not to buy?

$623 is the price for Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition at the start of sales. For this money you get a smartphone with a fast processor, a huge touch screen, with a very cool main camera that makes amazing photos and videos, and with a cool selfie camera. And with such characteristics, the smartphone got into the price segment “Flagships smartphones from $500”, where you can choose any other similar model for a same price.

And how important is the battery capacity in your smartphone? Here is the case that it is in Xiaomi Redmi K50 Extreme Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Edition that a very powerful battery is installed. And, if you need a smartphone with a very long mode of operation from one battery charge, then we recommend looking at this model, or similar smartphones with a powerful battery.

We always recommend that you look at the smartphone before you buy it to make sure that it fits you in all respects — screen size, case materials and build quality, speed and smoothness of the interface, photo and video quality, etc. After you choose a model, then you already look at the different offers from the sellers — you can buy it on the Internet or in the offline electronics supermarket. Buy where you prefer, where there are stocks and discounts, and where the seller guarantees the service of the device under warranty.
