Xiaomi is expected to announce the Xiaomi 15 series of smartphones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip onboard in October of this year. In November, its sub-brand Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K80 series to the Chinese market. Like the Redmi K70 lineup, the initial models in the K80 family could include the Redmi K80e, the Redmi K80, and the Redmi K80 Pro. Today, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station took to Weibo to claim that the K80 series is currently undergoing testing with high-silicon single-cell batteries.
Redmi K80 series battery size tipped
The above Weibo post by DCS suggests that the batteries being tested for the Redmi K80 series have capacities of 5,960mAh and 6,060mAh, with typical capacities reaching 6,100mAh and 6,200mAh. Under laboratory conditions, the maximum capacity could reach up to 6,500mAh.
This means that the Redmi K80 series could boast a single-cell battery with a capacity as large as 6,500mAh, making it the highest-capacity battery phone in its price range, with no other device coming close. Comparatively, the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro featured a 5,000mAh battery, while the recently announced K70 Ultra boasts a 5,500mAh battery.
While recent reports have revealed a lot about the Redmi K80 Pro, the details of the K80 have been scarce. According to a recent report, the Pro variant will have a 2K 120Hz OLED screen equipped with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. Its rear camera setup will include a 50-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel 3x telephoto camera. The K80 series may support up to 120W fast charging.
Reports suggest that the Redmi K80 could incorporate the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and undergo a rebranding as the Poco F7 Pro in 2025. On the other hand, the Redmi K80 Pro may feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This device is likely to remain confined to the Chinese market.
