Playing in air-conditioning room that gonna feel really hot. And don't even talk playing in non air-conditioning room. I really hope that they bring another version of k50 gaming with D9000. For engineering sample benchmark it looks very good compare to SD8 gen 1. Even consume less power. If it's as good as the engineering sample are, it will be cooler than SD8 gen 1 with 10% weaker on gpu side but still more powerful than sd888 gpu

          With that specs no wonder they sold so much.
          On paper is equal to S22 and in many aspects is way better and cost only 1/3 of S22 or other brand new costly phones such as latest Sony or Apple etc.

                    mediatek not release the kernel source code so nobody can build custom rom. regardless how good the chips you only can stick with old android.

                    with custom rom my oneplus 3 is running on android 11.

                      Snap 8 gen 1 GPU is faster dimen 9000 in gpu.

                      Dimen 9000 is faster cpu than snap gen 1.

                      Our cpu now is powerfull already. We need a powerfull IGPU.

                      Even dimen 9000 antutu reach 1m score but their Igpu is weaker. If playing games you will get better framerate max graphics in snap gen 1

                        Because it will be faster, and cheaper.

                              Huawei after that xiaomi with informed users better watch out

                                Xiaomi may sell Blackshark company to Tencent(Xiaomi own around 30% share of Blackshark) and Blackshark will focus on VR equipment later on.(So this year's Blackshark 5 series maybe the last Blackshark gaming phone)
                                So Xiaomi need to make their own flagship gaming phone to replace the Blackshark series.(last year K40 gaming is a sub flagship gaming which is cheaper than Blackshark4)
                                The success of IQOO infer that pure gaming phone(like Redmagic and Lenovo legion series) is not so welcomed .It is huge,heavy and not suitable as the only phone for most people.
                                IQOO series are not pure gaming phone,they are gaming flagship.They look like normal flagship phone(so people can accept them better) but with some hidden feature like better cooling,side gaming trigger and high touching sample rate to help user to do well in gaming.
                                Blackshark 3 series is Xiaomi/Blackshark last pure ganing phone,Blackshark4/K40Gaming is more close to normal phone(especially the K40Gaming,with phone cover you cant find it is a gaming phone),the K50Gaming is still on this road.

                                  Sold out already... Reports online. I can't even buy the Mercedes edition. Finding it real difficult to get my hands on the Champion Mercedes edition. That K50 is pretty amazing how it keeps the thermals in check on the 8 Gen 1. Zero throttling. I want this gaming phone. Slightly more than a red magic 7 pro. I am going nutz trying to find this Mercedes edition online. Might have to check on lazada. That kind of thing. Then ask my Asian friends to forward mail it onto me. (I am getting in patient trying to find the Mercedes version. At a time when the phone is sold out anyway. Already.
