According to the latest leaks, Redmi is actively working on several high-performance smartphones.

In recent posts on Weibo, a Digital Chat Station whistleblower shared key details about the device.

Here's What We Know

The mysterious Redmi K-series smartphone is being tested with an advanced cooling system that includes an inbuilt fan with RGB lighting. This indicates that the device is meant for gaming, where temperature management plays a crucial role in sustained performance.

The phone could be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite (SM8735) chipset, which will debut in April.
