While Xiaomi is gearing up for the Xiaomi 15 series launch later this month, its sub-brand Redmi quietly preparing its next move with the Redmi K80 lineup. It is expected to include two models, the vanilla K80 and K80 Pro.
New details about the Redmi K80 Pro have surfaced now, courtesy of a tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS). Although the original Weibo post by DCS has been deleted, we managed to capture a screenshot before it vanished.
Redmi K80 Pro Specifications
DCS suggests the Redmi K80 Pro will sport Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This isn’t a huge surprise considering the K70 Pro boasts the current top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The K80 Pro might also pack a massive 6000mAh silicon battery, a notable upgrade from the K70 Pro’s 5000mAh cell.
DCS also claims the “energy density set a new high”, which likely refers to the battery’s ability to store more power in a smaller space.
Well, silicon batteries are known for higher energy density compared to lithium-based ones, allowing for either a smaller battery with the same capacity or a larger capacity in the same size. This means the device won’t need to be bulkier to accommodate a larger battery.
So a “new high” energy density could mean an even slimmer battery that will also impact the overall thickness of the device.
The K80 Pro is also tipped to support 100W fast charging. A key quality-of-life add-on, however, will be the support for wireless charging that DCS mentions.
If true, this would be a first for the Redmi K-series, offering a convenient way to top up your phone without fumbling with cables.
However, note that these are still rumors. We’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Redmi to confirm these details.
