120Hz, 120W, 4700mAh, 64MP and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for $520. Redmi K50 Gaming Edition unveiled
Redmi has finally officially unveiled its flagship smartphone Redmi K50 Gaming Edition. Rumors said that the cost of new items starts at $ 550, but in reality it turned out to be even more affordable: the basic version with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory is estimated at $ 520. Thus, Redmi K50 Gaming Edition immediately became one of the most inexpensive smartphones on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Many characteristics of this model were revealed even before the announcement, and now Redmi has confirmed them. The smartphone received a 6.67-inch OLED screen with a frame rate of 120 Hz, a touch layer response rate of 480 Hz and a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. The display manufacturer is Huaxing Optoelectronics. The screen is protected by tempered glass Gorilla Glass Victus, but it does not have a built-in fingerprint scanner – it is located on the side face.
Embedded front camera – with a Sony IMX596 sensor with a resolution of 20 megapixels. The main camera has three sensors – Sony IMX686 with a resolution of 64 megapixels, OmniVision OV8856 with a resolution of 8 megapixels (with ultra wide-angle lens) and GalaxyCore GC02M1 with a resolution of 2 megapixels for macro photography.
Redmi K50 Gaming Edition received a 4700 mAh battery with support for 120 W fast charging: it takes only 17 minutes to fully charge. Since the model is gaming, special attention is paid to the SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 cooling system: the design provides for two whole evaporation chambers with a total area of 4860 mm2. The cooling system uses materials such as graphene and graphite.
In addition, Redmi K50 Gaming Edition received retractable magnetic trigger keys, four speakers (two broadband and two high-frequency), three microphones, an NFC module, and an improved CyberEngine vibration motor. The thickness of the smartphone is 8.5 mm, weight – 210 grams.
The configurations are as follows:
- 8/128 GB – $520;
- 12/128 GB – $565;
- 12/256 – $615.
The smartphone is also represented by the Chamion Edition, which will be released in a limited number of 10,000 pieces and decorated in the colors of the champion team Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. The price of this Redmi K50 Champion Edition is $660. Its memory capacities are the same as those of the top version of Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.

A “completely silent” 1300W power supply. Cooler Master showed two new products, but only the youngest received a passive CO
Cooler Master brought power supplies to Computex that they claim are absolutely silent.
The younger model with a power of 750 W is really silent, because it simply does not have a fan. By the way, this is the company’s most powerful power supply with passive cooling.
There is also a 1300W PSU. It has a fan, but Cooler Master also calls it completely silent.
The secret to successfully cooling such powerful PSUs without too much noise lies in the use of an evaporation chamber. There are no other details yet, as well as no pricing data.
NASA’s SLS super-heavy booster is already over budget by $6 billion and six years behind schedule, according to a recent report.
A recent report generated by the NASA Inspector General’s review indicates that NASA’s spending on the Artemis program will reach $93 billion by 2025, including the $23.8 billion already spent on SLS through 2022.
Despite a successful first run earlier this year, the Inspector notes that the project involves additional costs and a further shift in the schedule. Moreover, if the existing problems are not resolved in time, this may jeopardize the entire mission of Artemis.
As for delays, out of the six years mentioned, five years of delay, and at the same time an additional almost $ 2 billion, fell on Northrop Grumman accelerators. The bottom line is that the SLS project initially involved the partial use of old equipment from the days of the Space Shuttle program. Of course, with the necessary upgrades. Northrop Grumman boosters were one such element.
The inspector blames the situation on the cost-plus pricing method and recommends switching to fixed prices. In general, NASA agreed with all eight of the inspector’s recommendations.

Exynos platforms will appear in a new type of device. Samsung to create SoC for mixed reality headsets
Samsung is going after Apple to release its mixed reality headset. The device will be released either at the end of this year or early next. There are no details about it yet, but it is reported that Samsung is also going to release its own Exynos single-chip systems for headsets.
Considering that these are only plans for now, the upcoming Samsung headset will apparently either rely on some foreign platforms or on existing Exynos SoCs.
However, new platforms for mixed reality headsets may not be entirely new. It is reported that Samsung has not yet decided whether it will develop these SoCs from scratch or simply adapt existing solutions.
