In November 2024, Redmi launched the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro smartphones in China. The brand is expected to expand the K80 series by introducing the Redmi K80 Ultra later this year. A recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station seems to have revealed the key specifications of the K80 Ultra months ahead of its official launch.

Redmi previously unveiled the Redmi K70 Ultra, featuring the Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, in July 2024. This timeline suggests the Redmi K80 Ultra will launch around the same time this year. While the tipster did not explicitly mention the name of the device in the latest leak, it seems he may have shared crucial details about the K80 Ultra well in advance of its arrival.
As per DCS’ leak, the current engineering prototype of the Redmi K80 Ultra has a flat OLED screen with slim bezels on all four sides. It is said to support a 1.5K resolution and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The successor edition, like the K70 Ultra, will have a metal middle frame and an IP68-rated dustproof and water-resistant chassis, making it a durable device.
The K80 Ultra will feature the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset. The leak also indicates that the K80 Ultra will have a battery capacity of at least 6,500mAh. Given that the predecessor houses a 5,500mAh battery, this will be a significant upgrade.
Another leak by the same source reveals that iQOO, Realme, and OnePlus are also planning to launch Dimensity 9400 Plus-powered smartphones by mid-2025. The tentative names of these devices are iQOO Neo 10S Pro, Realme Neo 7 Pro, and OnePlus Ace 5s. Among these, the Realme and OnePlus offerings are expected to feature a 1.5K resolution OLED panel with a flight design, a metal middle frame, a glass / fiberglass body, a decent primary camera, and a battery of around 7,000mAh+ capacity. While the Realme device will have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, the OnePlus product will have an optical-type fingerprint scanner. It seems that the tipster also revealed that the iQOO Neo 10S Pro could be the first phone to debut with the D9400+ chip.
