A leak from blogger @Digital Chat Station, shared on IT Home on March 6th, has shed some light on Xiaomi‘s upcoming Redmi K80 series smartphones. While official details remain under wraps, the leak offers hints about what to expect from the next generation of these popular devices.

The information hints towards a late 2024 release for these devices

The leak suggests that Xiaomi is currently developing two new iterations within the K series: the Redmi K80 and the Redmi K80 Pro. While a specific launch date isn’t mentioned, the information points towards a late 2024 release, potentially aligning with the availability of the next-generation Snapdragon processors.

A significant shift in processing power is hinted at, with the leak suggesting a move away from the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the Redmi K70. Instead, Xiaomi might equip the K80 series with either the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, depending on their availability by the end of the year.

The leak also highlights Xiaomi’s focus on two key areas: battery life and design. The rumor mill churns with the possibility of “ultra-large-capacity high-density silicon anode batteries,” suggesting an improvement over the Redmi K70’s 5000mAh capacity. Design-wise, the K80 series is expected to retain the familiar elements of the K70, including a 2K screen, a metal middle frame, and a glass body.

It’s crucial to remember that this information is based on a leak and not official confirmation from Xiaomi. While it provides a glimpse into the potential direction Xiaomi might be taking with the K80 series, official details regarding specifications, features, and release dates could differ.
