Redmi launched the K70 series smartphone in November last year, so we can expect the K80 series to launch around the same time this year. We’ve been hearing about possible upgrades for these new phones for a while.
A report earlier this week revealed that the Redmi K80 Pro will introduce some impressive upgrades, including the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, a 2K display, and a 50MP telephoto lens.
Today’s leak from Digital Chat Station supports these rumors, adding that the K80 Pro will also support 120W fast charging that will complement the previously tipped 5500mAh battery.
The leak further hints that the phone will feature a metal frame and a glass back with a new coating for a more premium look and feel.
The standard Redmi K80 is not expected to lag in performance either. Previous reports suggest it will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, keeping it competitive in the high-end segment.
Both the Pro and standard models are rumored to sport a flat OLED display with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The main difference might be in the camera department, with the K80 Pro possibly featuring a dedicated telephoto lens, which the standard K80 might lack.
While launch details remain unconfirmed, it appears the Xiaomi 15 series will be the first to market with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, rumored for an October launch.
The Redmi K80 series is expected to follow sometime in November. It will be an alternative for those seeking a flagship experience without the likely higher price tag of the Xiaomi 15 series.
