Redmi K50i Claimed To Be More Powerful Than iPhone 13

Redmi K Series is back with a bang. Its latest handset, Redmi K50i made its debut in India on July 20. However, the smartphone has not made its way to the global market yet. At the launch event of the smartphone, Redmi claimed that its highly anticipated Redmi K50i is more powerful than iPhone 13. Is that really true??

Redmi K50i AnTuTu Score Is Better Than iPhone 13’s

At the launch event, the company compared the AnTuTu score of the handset with the iPhone 13. It was higher than the iPhone 13’s score so the company claimed that its handset is better than iPhone 13. In addition to that, the company also claimed that the Mediatek Dimensity 8100 SoC in Redmi K50i is more powerful than the Apple A15 Bionic in iPhone 13.

In order to give tough competition to Snapdragon, Mediatek has recently come up with its latest flagship chipsets, Dimensity 9000 and Dimensity 8100. The Dimensity 9000 goes up straight against Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 while Dimensity 8100 goes up against Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 888 Plus. However, it is a well-known fact that Xiaomi exaggerates many things at its launch events. The same thing happened here. No doubt, Dimensity 8100 is a powerful chipset, but it is not as powerful as Apple A15 Bionic. It is actually the Dimensity 9000 from Mediatek that is able to compete with the real flagship chipsets.
