The Redmi K50 Extreme Edition could be the rumored K50S series phone that will be released in China. Xiaomi did not explicitly confirm or deny the Redmi K50S series' official launch. As a result, the K50S series and the K50 Extreme Edition could be released concurrently.

The K50S series is expected to include two devices - the K50S and K50S Pro - that will be launched globally as part of the Xiaomi 12T series. We can expect the phones to share the majority of their specifications. The K50 Extreme Edition may have a 6.67-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It will most likely ship with a 4,700mAh battery and either 67W or 120W fast charging.

If the K50 Extreme Edition is the rumored K50S Pro, the back will almost certainly feature a 200MP HP1 main camera. There will be an 8MP ultrawide camera as well as a 2MP macro camera. Redmi is expected to release a base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. A 12GB + 256GB storage option will also be available. The K50 Extreme Edition will ship with Android 12-based MIUI 13 out of the box, as expected.
