Redmi's gaming phone to come with Dimensity 1200 and shoulder buttons

2021-03-28

Redmi"s General Manager teased the company"s upcoming gaming phone a couple of months ago and little has been revealed since. Now the renowned Weibo tipster, Digital Chat Station revealed a few key details surrounding Xiaomi"s mysterious gaming phone.

A flat OLED panel with a tiny punch-hole design for the selfie cam would be placed on the front, just like the Mi 11 and Redmi K40. They both boast Samsung"s brand new E4 panel. Driving those pixels would be the Dimensity 1200 chipset while a 5,000mAh battery will ensure uninterrupted gaming sessions. It"s expected to support 65W fast charging and it"s reportedly enough to give a full charge from flat in just 30 minutes.

What"s more, the phone will likely adopt physical shoulder triggers for an enhanced gaming experience.

The tipster even disclosed a possible price range - something along the lines of CNY 2,000-2,500 ($300-380) or in other words - one of the cheapest gaming phones on the market.
