Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K80 series of smartphones. Reports have suggested that the rear design of the K80 series will differ from its previous generation, the Redmi K70 lineup. Now, a new leak, courtesy of tipster Smart Pikachu, has emerged on Weibo that sheds more information on the design of the K80 series. Additionally, the leak has revealed the launch timeframe for the K80 series.
Redmi K80 design leak
The above image shared by Wang Xiaoyan, Vice President of Xiaomi Group and President of Xiaomi China, seemingly showcases an upcoming Redmi K80 series phone enclosed in a protective case. The image reveals a new round camera island that houses three cameras. The design differs significantly from the K70 lineup, which features a rectangular camera module with camera sensors symmetrically arranged in a square shape at the left corner.
Xiaomi’s selfie-focused Civi series, which features a round camera module on the back, appears to have inspired the design of the Redmi K80 series. Since Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi 15 series of smartphones in China, it appears that Redmi will take a sabbatical of a few more days before its stars tease the K80 lineup.
The tipster claims that the Redmi K80 series will launch by the end of this month (November). The 3C certification has revealed that the lineup may include three models, such as the Redmi K80e, Redmi K80, and K80 Pro.
These devices are likely to be powered by the Dimensity 8400, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, respectively. The K80e may support 90W fast charging, whereas the K80 and K80 Pro may offer 120W rapid charging.
The leaker also revealed that although the Redmi K80 series adopts a Civi-like design, Xiaomi will not discontinue the Civi lineup. In fact, the brand is already working on a new Civi-branded phone, which could be the Xiaomi Civi 5. Unfortunately, the tipster did not reveal anything else about the device.
