Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K80 series of smartphones in November in China. The lineup will reportedly include at least two models, such as the Redmi K80 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and the Redmi K80 Pro equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the K80 lineup will face competition from the OnePlus Ace 5 series.
OnePlus Ace 5 series November launch tipped
Several reports have claimed that the OnePlus 13 will be one of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered phones to debut in China. Therefore, it is likely that the OP13 may break cover in October.
Previous reports have claimed that the OnePlus Ace 5 series will debut in the fourth quarter of this year. Now, tipster Smart Pikachu claims that the Ace 5 lineup will be announced in November to take on the Redmi K80 lineup.
The leak also suggests that the two chips powering the Ace 5 series will be the same as those in the Redmi K80 series. This suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 could power the Ace 5, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 could power the Ace 5 Pro. The leaker added that the standard model will have a ceramic build, whereas the Pro variant will feature a 2K resolution screen.
According to other reports, the Redmi K80 Pro may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. Considering that the Ace 3 Pro and Ace 2 Pro remained confined to the home market, it is likely that the Ace 5 Pro may not launch outside of China.

Speculations are rife that the Redmi K80 will be rebranded as the Poco F7 Pro for the global market in the coming year. On the other hand, the Ace 5 may get renamed as the OnePlus 13R in the global market. The 13R may break cover with the OnePlus 13 in January 2025.
