Redmi K50 Ultra is latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship that costs less than OnePlus 10T

Redmi K50 Ultra finally arrived as the company’s latest flagship smartphone. Previously speculated to be called Redmi K50 Extreme Edition, the new phone uses the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor — Qualcomm’s latest and greatest. While that brings the top-most performance, it also pits the new Redmi K50 Ultra against the OnePlus 10T or the OnePlus Ace Pro. Since both phones are likely to offer the same performance level, the cheaper one to buy is the Redmi K50 Ultra.

I will talk about the total prices of the Redmi K50 Ultra in a bit. However, at a starting price of around Rs 35,000, the Redmi K50 Ultra could be among the most affordable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered phones.
