As far as the specifications are concerned, there are two rumors. In the last week of June, tipster Ishan Agarwal claimed that Redmi K50i will arrive in India as a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11T Pro. Meanwhile, a new Pricebaba report citing a β€œtrusted tipster” claims that the Redmi K50i 5G will launch as a rebadged Redmi Note 11T Pro+.

That said, the report goes on to detail the specs of the Pro model, making it safe to assume that the Pro model (and not Pro+) is the device that’s arriving in India later this month.
