The post Redmi K80 Pro series gets a huge price cut, now starts at just $390 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Poco F7 Ultra and Redmi K80 Pro are, at their core, siblings under Xiaomi’s umbrella. But as usual with Xiaomi’s strategy, they’re targeted at slightly different audiences and priced differently across markets. 

On paper, both these phones appear nearly identical, to the point where you’d wonder if there’s any real difference beyond the logos stamped on their backs. But when you dig deeper, the small differences can matter. Let’s break it down.

Design and Build

When you hold either phone, you won’t feel much of a difference. Both phones share the exact same dimensions — 160.3 x 75 x 8.4 mm — and both weigh around 212 grams (the K80 Pro has a slightly heavier variant at 217g depending on configuration). Their frames are aluminum which keeps both the front and back glass panels in pace. And the phones are IP68 water and dust resistance making them capable of surviving in up to 2.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

However, the glass protection is where the two differ. The Poco F7 Ultra uses Poco Shield Glass, while the Redmi K80 Pro relies on Longjing Glass 2. On paper, both are designed to resist scratches and cracks, but we can not say for sure which offer better protection here. 

Display

In the display department, you’re essentially looking at the same panel. Both phones feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED with support for 68 billion colors, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness hits a blinding 3200 nits, which is more than enough to stay visible even under harsh sunlight.

Resolution is flagship-grade too — 1440 x 3200 pixels, translating to a sharp 526 ppi pixel density. Both phones use an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a more reliable and faster tech than optical sensors.

So if display quality is your deciding factor, there’s no real winner here. Both phones deliver equally well.

Performance

Under the hood, both phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, built on a 3nm process. The CPU layout is the same: 2x Cortex Oryon V2 Phoenix L at 4.32 GHz and 6x Oryon V2 Phoenix M at 3.53 GHz, with the Adreno 830 GPU handling graphics.

Both phones ship with Android 15 layered with HyperOS 2. In real-world use, this chipset is more powerful than most users will need. Whether you’re multitasking, gaming, or editing videos, you won’t notice much lag or stutter.

The phones are available in slightly different memory configurations. The Poco F7 Ultra starts with a 12GB RAM base paired with 256GB storage while the top-tier model has 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Memory is LPDDR5X while the storage is UFS 4.1.

The Redmi K80 Pro also starts at 12/256GB base but the highest configured model has 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. However, it’s worth noting that it uses UFS 4.0, slightly slower than Poco’s UFS 4.1.

In practice, the difference between UFS 4.0 and 4.1 is negligible for day-to-day tasks. But if you’re particular about having the fastest storage or need a 1TB option, the K80 Pro has a clear edge.

Cameras

The rear camera setup is identical on both phones:

• 50MP main camera (f/1.6, OIS, 1/1.55” sensor)
• 50MP telephoto with 2.5x optical zoom and OIS
• 32MP ultrawide with a 120° field of view

Both phones can shoot up to 8K at 24fps and support advanced stabilization and high frame rate modes — including 4K at 60fps and even slow-motion at 1920fps in 720p.

Where the difference appears is on the front camera. The Poco F7 Ultra uses a 32MP selfie camera, while the Redmi K80 Pro opts for a 20MP shooter. In good lighting, you might not notice much difference, but for those who rely heavily on front cameras — whether for video calls, content creation, or social media — Poco’s higher resolution sensor has the upper hand, at least on paper.

That said, the K80 Pro supports gyro-EIS on the front camera for smoother videos, a feature missing in the spec sheet of the F7 Ultra.

Battery and Others

Battery capacity is one area where these phones go in different directions.

The Poco F7 Ultra packs a 5300mAh battery, while the Redmi K80 Pro uses a larger 6000mAh silicon-carbon battery. Both phones support 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

As for the audio, both have stereo speakers but you don’t get a headphone jack support. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and an Infrared blaster. And the positioning systems are also identical with support for NavIC, GPS (L1+L5), GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS. 

The under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and a full suite of sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, proximity) are also common to both.

So, Which One Should You Buy?

Now as you can tell, both phones are strikingly similar. The Redmi K80 Pro has a few key advantages over Poco as it packs a massive 6,000mAh battery for longer endurance and offers up to 1TB of storage. While the F7 Ultra has a higher-res selfie camera. 

These differences are minor, but price could be a major deciding factor for users. And fortunately, you can get the Redmi K80 Pro for $100 less at starting than the Poco F7 Ultra. It starts at $549 for the 12GB RAM, 256GB storage model, while the Poco F7 Ultra costs $649 for the same configuration. If you’re looking to grab the K80 Pro at that price, it’s available on Giztop.

Apple, known for its slow adoption of new technologies, may take even longer to integrate these advancements.

While software optimizations and power-efficient chips help extend battery life, they cannot overcome the limitations of small battery capacities. As Chinese manufacturers continue to set new industry benchmarks, it is inevitable that Samsung and Apple will have to adopt silicon-carbon batteries to remain competitive. The future of smartphone battery technology is already here, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the industry catches up.

From budget-friendly options to premium flagships, rugged devices to foldables, and even phones tailored for gaming or vlogging, this roundup highlights the absolute best smartphones of 2024 in their respective categories. So let’s have a final look at the Best of 2024.

The Best Flagship Smartphones of 2024

The vivo X100 Pro was our pick for the for the Best Flagship Smartphone of 2024. It is the brand’s latest and most premium smartphone, focus on imaging and design. It’s known for its camera-centric phones, Vivo continues its streak with ZEISS-branded optics and a premium glass and metal build that ensures a solid, ergonomic feel in the hand.

The Best Affordable Vlogging Smartphones of 2024

While the more expensive options in the flagship or best camera segment are great for vlogging, Infinix released the Zero 40 5G as a dedicated vlogging phone on a budget, which is why we gave it the crown as the best affordable vlogging smartphone. The rear packs a 108MP main camera, while the front houses a 50MP selfie shooter. Users can capture 4K video recordings at 60fps that makes it perfect for content creators.

The front doesn’t disappoint either with a 50MP camera for selfies and video calls. But impressively, Infinix has brought support for 4K videos and 60fps as well.

The Best Mid-range Smartphones of 2024

The mid-range segment is easily one of the toughest category considering the sheer number of options a buyer has.

For under $400, the flagship grade Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 2K AMOLED display, huge 6550mAH battery with 90W fast charging, and IP68 rating helps it easily bag the best mid-range smartphone of 2024.

The Best Budget Smartphones of 2024

In the budget smartphone category, there are a few standouts that hit the right balance of price to performance or price to value ratio. And none do it better than the Nothing Phone (2a). We chose it as the best budget phone of 2024 thanks to its intuitive and unique Glyph LED interface, along with a package of solid specs like 120Hz AMOLED display and Dimensity 7200 SoC. There is also 4K recording from the 50MP dual cameras on the rear and a reliable 5000mAh battery pack.

REDMI launched its performance-oriented K80 and K80 Pro phones on November 27 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chips respectively. Now Xiaomi has officially announced that REDMI K80/Pro refreshed the K series’ first-sale record, exceeding 660,000 units in one day (statistical time is up to 24:00 on November 28, 2024).

RDMI K80 / K80 Pro specs and price:

The entire series is equipped with a 2K 6.67-inch screen consisting of customized M9 luminous material. This is paired with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (on both models), which is an upgrade from the optical fingerprint sensor of the predecessors.

On the inside, both phones now house much bigger batteries – 6000mAh on the K80 and 6550mAh on the K80 Pro, up from 5000mAh of the predecessors. Surprisingly, this year’s Pro model, despite housing a massive battery, supports 90W wired charging, down from 120W of its predecessors (at least on paper).

As for the cameras, the K80 Pro now boasts a 2.5x telephoto (50MP), up from 2x of its predecessor. The ultrawide also has 32MP resolution, up from 12MP of the K70 Pro. So you can expect sharper images whether you want to zoom in or out.

The standard model is a lot similar to its predecessor though, with a 50MP main and 8MP ultrawide. REDMI has ditched the useless 2MP macro camera making a better use of your money and the space inside.

In terms of in-hand experience, despite packing a massive jump in battery capacity, both phones weigh almost the same, thanks to the new Si/C battery technology. Besides sticking to the flat design, the company has also opted for a circular camera module this time around.

The 12GB + 256GB version of the REDMI K80 and K80 Pro is priced at 2,499 Yuan ($346) and 3,699 Yuan ($511) respectively.

While I shared the notable changes REDMI made this year, you can learn more about the standard and Pro models here.

Redmi‘s K series has always been about packing a performance punch at a competitive price. This year, however, things seem to be shifting. The K80 and K80 Pro arrive with a new design language, a focus on premium materials, and a price tag that might surprise longtime K-series fans. We got our hands on both phones in China shortly after launch, and here are our first impressions.

The first thing you’ll notice is the packaging redesign. Gone is the familiar black box; the K80 series comes in a sleek white container with a redesigned, more minimalist Redmi logo. 

Inside, it’s business as usual: phone, case, charger, and a SIM ejector tool.  The K80 Pro boasts a 120W charger, while the standard K80 sticks with a 90W adapter.

Redmi K80 / K80 Pro unboxing and hands-on

Visually, the K80 series makes a departure from previous iterations. Both phones ditch the previous design for a look that closely resembles the Xiaomi Civi 4, with a prominent circular camera island on the left. 

The standard K80 we received comes in white with a frosted finish that hides a flat, glossy back panel (fingerprints, anyone?). The K80 Pro, on the other hand, sports a more comfortable 2.5D curved back in black.

Thankfully, both phones share a 2K 6.67-inch panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3200 nits. Those specs put them right up there with the Xiaomi 15 Pro, and the bezels look minimal as well.

Under the hood, the differences become more apparent. The K80 Pro boasts the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, while the standard K80 uses the still-capable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. 

Camera-wise, the Pro features a 50MP main sensor with a more versatile triple-camera setup. The K80 keeps things simple with a decent 50MP dual-camera system.

This is just a first look, of course. We’re putting both phones through their paces to see how the performance, camera quality, and battery life hold up in our full review. Stay tuned. 

The post We unboxed the new Redmi K80 and K80 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi recently unveiled its newest flagship smartphone, the K80 Pro. The K-series has carved a niche for itself by offering high-end specs at a competitive price point. This year’s K80 Pro promises to be even more compelling due to a strategic shift by Redmi.  

Redmi is elevating the K-series to become its premium offering, effectively bridging the gap between Xiaomi’s top-of-the-line numbered series, like the Xiaomi 15. The shift makes the K80 Pro a more premium device than its predecessors.

With these changes in mind, let’s delve into a detailed comparison of the Redmi K80 Pro and its predecessor, the Redmi K70 Pro, to see how they stack up.

Design and Display

Both phones boast a large, 6.67-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. While both offer 2K resolution display, the K80 Pro includes Longjing Glass 2 for added front protection, whereas the K70 Pro lacks any hardened glass protection.

However, the K70 Pro takes the edge in terms of peak brightness, 4000 nits compared to the K80 Pro’s 3200 nits. The difference is unlikely to be noticeable in everyday use.

The K80 Pro also features the next-generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the display, while the K70 Pro utilizes a more traditional optical sensor.

The design language across the two generations remains fairly similar. Both phones are relatively bulky, with the K80 Pro weighing slightly more at 212g compared to the K70 Pro’s 209g. The extra weight likely comes from the K80 Pro’s larger battery.

An interesting change is the K80 Pro has IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance rating, which the K70 Pro lacked. This means the K80 Pro can survive a dunk in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

Performance

Perhaps the biggest difference between the two phones lies in the heart of the device – the processor. The K80 Pro comes with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), while the K70 Pro features the still-powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm). 

The new chip can reach a clock speed of a staggering 4.32GHz and is claimed to deliver a 45% improvement in multi-core performance while consuming 52% less power. 

Additionally, the K80 Pro features an in-house D1 chip, which handles super-resolution, frame generation, and “super HDR” for games. The chip helps boost frame rates in demanding games and reduces the load on the Snapdragon, resulting in lower power consumption.

Both phones include effective cooling systems to manage heat. The K70 Pro uses a 5000 mm² heat-dispersing area with a vapor chamber, while the K80 Pro is equipped with a new 3D dual-loop vapor chamber, which is said to lower temperatures by up to 3°C.

Camera Systems

Both phones sport triple-lens rear camera systems with a 50MP main sensor. However, the K70 Pro’s telephoto lens lacks OIS (optical image stabilization) compared to the K80 Pro, which might result in slightly shakier zoomed-in photos. 

The K70 Pro also has a lower resolution (12MP) ultrawide sensor compared to the K80 Pro’s 32MP offering.  The selfie cameras differ slightly as well, with the K80 Pro sporting a higher resolution 20MP sensor compared to the K70 Pro’s 16MP option.  

Battery Life and Charging

The K80 Pro comes with a larger 6000mAh battery, compared to the K70 Pro’s 5000mAh capacity. Both phones support 120W wired fast charging, but the K70 Pro charges fully in just 18 minutes due to its smaller battery. In contrast, the K80 Pro takes 28 minutes to reach 100%. Additionally, the K80 Pro includes 50W wireless charging which is missing from the K70 Pro.

The Verdict

The Redmi K80 Pro is a clear evolution over the K70 Pro. It offers a more powerful processor, better battery life, faster charging, and camera upgrades. 

However, these upgrades come with a price increase. The K80 Pro starts at 3,700 yuan for the base 12/256GB model, which is 400 yuan more than the K70 Pro’s launch price. Even so, it remains more affordable than many other Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phones, making it an excellent choice for those seeking latest tech without spending that much.

The post Redmi K80 Pro vs Redmi K70 Pro: A Head-to-Head Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Both Xiaomi and Oppo just launched smartphones around the $500 price mark. But while the former has released the Redmi K80 Pro with a more expensive price tag, it still seems like a better deal than the latter’s Oppo Reno 13 Pro. So here’s 5 reasons why we believe that the affordable flagship from Redmi is a better deal.

Redmi K80 Pro vs Oppo Reno 13 Pro: Higher Res Display

Xiaomi just unveiled the Redmi K80 Pro, which is a relatively affordable flagship smartphone from its popular sub-brand. It packs some impressive specs that make it stand out. One of these features is undoubtedly its display. The Redmi K80 Pro sports a 6.67-inch OLED display. While it might not be as large as the Reno 13 Pro with its 6.83-inch AMOLED panel, the K80 Pro’s panel has its advantages.

The Redmi K80 Pro has a higher 2K+ resolution (3200 x 1440p), compared to the 1.5K panel (2800 x 1272p) on the Reno 13 Pro. That’s not all, it also sports an LTPS panel with Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0 for protection. So it is also more durable than the Reno 13 Pro since it isn’t listed with any kind of protective glass.

Battery & Fast Charging

Chinese brands are ahead of the curve in both battery sizes and fast charging rates. So Oppo is no slouch, offering a large 5,800mAh battery pack on the Reno 13 Pro. This cell supports a respectable 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. This also helps the device achieve its relatively slim and lightweight 7.6mm thickness and 197g weight.

Xiaomi’s Redmi K80 Pro is powered by a massive 6,000mAh battery pack, which supports 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. The trade-off is the thicker 8.4mm body and heavier 212g heft.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Simply Outperforms

The Snapdragon 8 Elite from Qualcomm is one of the fastest chipsets that powers Android flagships, only rivalled by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400. However, the Reno 13 Pro houses a mid-range 4nm based Dimensity 8350 chipset. This is a capable chip, but it doesn’t promise cutting edge performance.

Simply put, the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite is more powerful and arguably more power efficient as well. For its price, the Redmi K80 is a contender for the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphone in the market. It matches the pricing of the Realme GT 7 Pro, which was previously the most affordable phone with this high end chip.

What else is better?

Both the Reno 13 Pro and K80 Pro have a 50MP main and 50MP telephoto shooter. Although, the Redmi flagship model has a 32MP ultra wide angle lens over an 8MP one on the Oppo mid ranger. Similarly, there is an in-display fingerprint scanner on the duo as well, but the K80 Pro has an ultrasonic sensor over the optical one on the Reno 13 Pro. This helps unlock your phone faster and more accurately.

Pricing

Oppo’s new Reno 13 Pro starts from just 3,399 yuan (roughly $469) for the 12GB + 256GB version. This makes it a sub-$500 mid range smartphone. But for just $50 more, you are getting a much better package. Xiaomi’s Redmi K80 Pro starts from 3,699 yuan ($511) for the same 12GB + 256GB storage configuration. Like I mentioned before, this matches the Realme GT 7 Pro to share the “cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite powered phone” feat.

Xiaomi is gearing up for a major product launch event in China on November 27th. The Redmi K80 series, particularly the K80 Pro, has been a central focus of pre-launch teasers. 

The device is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, features a D1 independent graphics chip, and boasts a premium AMOLED display from TCL. Today, the company revealed more details about the K80 Pro’s camera capabilities

Redmi K80 Pro cameras

The Redmi K80 Pro features a triple-camera setup on its rear panel, headlined by a 50MP Sony Light Hunter 800 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS)—the same sensor used in the recently launched Xiaomi 15 series. 

It also includes another 50MP sensor, this time for the telephoto lens, which supports OIS and offers 2.5x optical zoom for detailed zoomed shots. Completing the setup is a 32MP ultrawide sensor with a 120-degree field of view.

Beyond the hardware upgrades, Xiaomi is touting its latest imaging software, the Xiaomi AISP 2.0, on the K80 Pro. Claimed to be the brand’s most powerful imaging algorithm yet, AISP 2.0 integrates four major models and promises to deliver photos rich in detail. 

To showcase the camera’s capabilities, Xiaomi also shared two close-up telephoto shots. The images are attached below—take a look and judge for yourself.

While the front-facing camera remains a mystery, rumors suggest it will feature a 20MP OV20B sensor. 

Other expected specs of the phone include a 6000mAh battery with support for 120W wired and 50W wireless, an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a metal middle frame for durability, Dragon Crystal Glass on both the front and back, and IP68/IP69 certification for dust and water resistance.

The post Redmi K80 Pro features same flagship main sensor as Xiaomi 15 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Redmi K80 series will be launched soon in China, with two models, a vanilla and a Pro. The K80 Pro is confirmed to pack Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which we’ve seen in devices like the Honor Magic 7 Pro and OnePlus 13.

The 8 Elite is the first to bring Qualcomm’s self-developed Oryon cores to smartphones, but it comes at a cost — literally.  As a result, nearly all Snapdragon 8 Elite phones released so far have been more expensive than their predecessors. The same could be true for the Redmi K80 Pro.

Redmi’s president, Thomas Wang, in a Weibo post today pointed out that the Redmi K80 Pro could be priced at around CNY 4,000 (about $552) in China. That’s a significant jump from the CNY 3,299 (around $455) launch price of the Redmi K70 Pro. While a price hike isn’t unexpected for a phone sporting the latest Snapdragon chip, the magnitude is noteworthy.

Wang, however, suggests the higher price tag will be justified. He claims the K80 Pro boasts “the most versatile battery specs for its segment,” hinting at impressive battery life alongside the raw power of the 8 Elite. 

Additionally, recent teasers suggest the phone will achieve a record-breaking AnTuTu benchmark score, and has an independent D1 graphics chip for improved gaming performance. 

Beyond performance, the K80 Pro will have an equally flagship screen. The phone boasts a 2K AMOLED panel developed by TCL, with 1800 nits of peak brightness. It also includes a range of eye-friendly features, such as DC Dimming, TÜV Rheinland flicker-free certification, ADV-MEMC for image quality enhancement, AON Smart Eye Care, and more. 

The front will also be home to a 20MP selfie camera, while you will get three cameras on the back, a 50MP lens for wide shots, a 32MP for ultrawide, and another 50MP for portraits. All this is expected to be powered by a 6000mAh battery with support for 120W charging.

The post Redmi K80 Pro might be the most expensive in the series yet appeared first on Gizmochina.

After the initial wave of Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship smartphones, Xiaomi is now preparing to debut the Redmi K80 Pro powered by this cutting-edge chipset. This device is also expected to be rebranded as the Poco F7 Ultra in the global market.

The device was recently confirmed to have scored an impressive  AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,194,766, and now, it has also been spotted on Geekbench 6 as well as 3DMark benchmarks.

On Geekbench 6, it achieved a single-core score of 3050 and a multi-core score of 9216, placing it among the top-performing Android smartphones. In 3DMark’s Steel Nomad Light, it secured a score of 2441, further solidifying its position as a graphics powerhouse. Real-world gaming performance is equally impressive. The K80 Pro delivers peak FPS on popular titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Trail, and Honor of Kings, while maintaining efficient power consumption and avoiding significant frame rate drops.

The performance is in line with a recent report by Dave2D, who tested flagships like the OnePlus 13 and the ROG Phone 9 Pro revealing that the devices maintain smooth, throttle-free gameplay at the highest setting on Genshin Impact.

Previous reports have confirmed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip will be paired with a D1 chip, and Gaming Engine 4.0, enabling 2K super-resolution and 120fps gaming. The device has a CSOT 2K M9 flat screen that delivers a peak brightness of 1800 nits, 20.3% lower power consumption, hardware-level DC dimming, circular polarization, and the AON Intelligent Eye Protection system for reduced eye strain.

The phone boasts a refined design with a light mist dual-work integration process, ultra-narrow 1.9mm bottom bezels, and a 50:50 golden weight distribution. It is Redmi’s first device with a seamless top design and Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0, featuring an advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for wet-hand recognition. The K80 series also offers IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is all set to launch the K80 series smartphones in China on November 27. The K-series has always been popular on the mainland, as it offers flagship-level specs at a more affordable price. The popularity was quite evident last year when the Redmi K70 series sold over 2 million units within days.  

The K80 series is likely to be another success in China, and there is more than one reason for it. 

First, Redmi is changing its product strategy this year. The K-series will now be the company’s most premium offering, bridging the gap between Xiaomi’s top-of-the-line number series phones, such as the Xiaomi 15.

 The company has also introduced a new logo featuring bold red text in uppercase: “REDMI.” Additionally, Redmi is streamlining its K lineup by launching only two models in the K80 series: the K80 and K80 Pro. Unlike previous generations, there will be no K80e model. 

With all these changes, what can we expect from the Redmi K80 series? Let’s take a look at what we know so far.

Premium display

While the company has yet to reveal all the details of the new phones, we already know a lot about their screens. Both the K80 and K80 Pro will feature a 2K resolution AMOLED display developed by TCL Huaxing.

The screen uses customized M9 Luminescent material, which reduces power consumption by 20.3% compared to the display in the K70 series. It also offers 1800 nits of global peak brightness and includes eye health features like DC Dimming, circular polarization technology, and AON Intelligent Eye Protection.

Additionally, the display will provide hardware-level eye protection, full brightness DC dimming, and has earned TÜV Rheinland flicker-free eye protection certification. It also features ADV-MEMC image quality eye protection and AON Smart Eye Care, which provides real-time monitoring of visual health.

Flagship processor

Complementing the premium display will be flagship processors. The Redmi K80 Pro will feature flagship-level performance powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

This is Qualcomm’s first SoC to use self-developed Oryon cores, featuring an eight-core design with 2x prime cores clocked at an impressive 4.32 GHz and 6x performance cores reaching up to 3.53 GHz.

Redmi pairs this SoC with its in-house D1 graphics chip to improve performance further. According to the company, the phone achieves an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,194,766.

To manage heat and ensure consistent performance, the Redmi K80 Pro includes a dual-loop 3D ice-sealed cooling system. On the software side, there is Gaming Engine 4.0 and support for 2K super-resolution and 120fps super frame concurrency for an optimized gaming experience.

The standard Redmi K80, meanwhile, is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. While it’s no longer Qualcomm’s flagship, this chip is highly capable and can easily handle even the most demanding tasks and games with ease. 

Cameras

The Redmi K80 is expected to feature a 50MP Omnivision OV50 main sensor, paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro lens. For selfies, it will use a 20MP Omnivision OV20B front-facing camera.

The camera setup on the Pro takes a step up, with a 50MP main sensor (again, Omnivison OV50) joined by a much higher-resolution 32MP ultrawide ISOCELL KD1 sensor and a 50MP ISCOELL JN5 telephoto lens with 2.6x optical zoom. The front-facing camera remains the same 20MP sensor as the standard K80.

Battery

The K80 will pack a large 6500mAh battery, supported by 90W fast charging, ensuring enough power to last a full day and beyond. The K80 Pro might offer a slightly smaller 6000mAh battery but is expected to compensate with faster 120W wired charging and the convenience of 50W wireless charging.

Rest of the specs

Both models are expected to share several other premium features. The K80 will have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the display, a metal middle frame for durability, Dragon Crystal Glass on both the front and back, and IP68/IP69 certification for dust and water resistance.

The K80 Pro will carry the same design and build quality as the standard model, ensuring a consistent premium feel across the series.

Here’s a breakdown of the specs of the Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro in a table:

The post What to expect from the Redmi K80 series? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Redmi, Xiaomi’s popular sub-brand, is entering a new chapter with a bold rebranding. The most noticeable change is the brand name itself, now written entirely in uppercase – “REDMI.” 

According to Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group’s mobile phone department, the change is not just aesthetics. “Redmi changed its name from REDMI,” explained Lu, “and there’s a lot of strategic thinking behind it.” 

He notes that Xiaomi’s success in the high-end market with more advanced technology is creating space for Redmi to expand. And the company appears to be preparing well for this shift.

The change in product strategy

According to Weibing, the new “Turbo” series will take over the mantle previously held by the “K” series, which will “continue to break through.”

Lu also shared that the K80 lineup will be the biggest product update in the history of the K series and will directly compete with the top-tier performance flagships offered by e-commerce sub-brands of competitors.

“The K80 Pro,” he stated, “will compete with its rivals ‘Thirteen Brothers’ with its exceptionally powerful configuration and user experience.”

Wang Teng Thomas, General Manager of the Redmi brand, confirmed that these changes are a response to Xiaomi’s flagship series entering a higher price bracket. “REDMI’s product line has been adjusted since the beginning of the year,” said Wang. 

“The new K series is positioned as the champion flagship, particularly the Pro series will create an all-round flagship experience. However, Wang Teng notes that the price range of the phones will also increase to fill the gap left by Xiaomi’s number series price hike.

The new Turbo series will dominate the 2,000 to 3,000 yuan price segment (roughly $280 to $420). Wang emphasizes that, regardless of the price range, REDMI will stay committed to offering the best value for money and remain unmatched in every segment it competes.

Last month, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro phones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in China. On Nov. 27, its sub-brand Redmi will unveil the Redmi K80 lineup for the Chinese market. Today, the brand released the following poster to confirm the chipset that drives the Redmi K80 Pro.

Redmi K80 Pro’s chipset officially confirmed

The Redmi K80 Pro features the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and the gaming-specific D1 independent graphics chip. This potent combination has achieved an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,194,766, underscoring its exceptional performance capabilities.

The Dimensity 9300 Plus-powered Redmi K70 Ultra, which debuted a couple of months ago in China, was the first phone to feature the D1 graphics chip. Apart from the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and D1 chip, the K80 Pro features the Gaming Engine 4.0, which supports 2K super-resolution and 120fps super frame concurrency for all games.

The Redmi K80 series will arrive with a CSOT 2K M9 flat screen with a peak brightness of 1800 nits, enhancing outdoor visibility while reducing power consumption by 20.3%, making it both bright and energy efficient. Additionally, the series incorporates hardware-level DC dimming and circular polarization technology to alleviate eye strain, along with the AON Intelligent Eye Protection feature, which uses the front camera to monitor user eye behavior and provide appropriate reminders.

In terms of design, the Redmi K80 Pro showcases meticulous craftsmanship with a light mist dual-work integration process, enhancing refinement by 2.5 times. It adopts Xiaomi’s screen routing technology, achieving an ultra-narrow 1.9mm bottom bezel and a nearly perfect 50:50 golden weight distribution. Notably, it is Redmi’s first device with a seamless top design.

The K80 Pro also introduces Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0, an upgraded ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that promises quick and accurate wet-hand recognition. Additionally, the K80 series offers IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.

Redmi has confirmed that the Redmi K80 series will launch on November 27 in China. According to the official poster, the brand has teamed up with Chinese table tennis player Fan Zhendong to endorse the new K-series. The lineup comprises the Redmi K80 and the Redmi K80 Pro, and this time, the company will not be releasing a Redmi K80e as a successor to last year’s Redmi K70e.

Redmi K80 design, color options revealed

The Redmi K80 series features a completely different design compared to the Redmi K70 lineup from last year. The K80 series has a round camera module reminiscent of the company’s Civi series of smartphones. The camera island comprises three cameras with a horizontal LED flash positioned outside. Although the front of the K80 series has not been revealed yet, both models are expected to feature a flat display.

The above images, which surfaced on a Chinese retailer platform, have revealed the color options of the K80 series. The K80 will be available in grey, blue, green, and black options.

On the other hand, the Redmi K80 Pro will be available in grey, green, and black. As can be seen, all the K80 series color options sport a dual-tone design, which enhances its appeal. A closer look at the images suggests that the K80 has a dual-camera setup, whereas the Pro variant is equipped with a triple camera system. While Redmi has not officially confirmed it yet, there is a possibility that the K80 Pro will also come in a special version, probably a Lamborghini edition.

The Redmi K80 series will face competition from the iQOO Neo 10 and iQOO Neo 10 Pro in China. iQOO has already confirmed that the Neo 10 will come with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the Neo 10 Pro will be equipped with the Dimensity 9400 SoC. In comparison, the K80 and K80 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite, respectively. 

The post Redmi K80, K80 Pro official images revealing color variants appear before November 27 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

After months of waiting, the first details of the Redmi K80 series are finally out. The company has confirmed that this year, the series will include only two models: the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro. There will be no Redmi K80e.

Additionally, the brand has officially confirmed that all phones in the series will feature a 2K resolution screen developed by TCL Huaxing.

The screen reportedly uses customized M9 Luminescent material to reduce power consumption by 20.3%. It has 1800 nits of global peak brightness, which is the maximum brightness the display can reach across the entire screen.

Both devices in the series feature DC Dimming, polarized light technology for eye protection, and three TUV Rheinland certifications for eye-friendly use. The latter includes a hardware-level blue light filter with no flicker and has received clinical approval from Sun Yat-sen University’s Zhongshan Eye Center. 

It seems that Redmi is placing a strong emphasis on user health with this year’s K80 series. Additionally, both the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro will feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

While details are emerging, Redmi has yet to reveal the official launch date for the K80 series. The brand has, however, confirmed that the phones will launch next week.

What to expect

In terms of specifications, the Redmi K80 is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 50MP triple camera setup with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens, and a 20MP front camera. The device could be powered by a 6500mAh battery with 90W fast charging.

The Redmi K80 Pro, on the other hand, will come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 50MP main, a 32MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto lens on the back. The front camera remains the same 20MP sensor as the standard K80.

Regarding the battery, the Redmi K80 Pro is rumored to have a 6000mAh capacity. However, it compensates with 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

Earlier this month, three new Xiaomi phones with model numbers were spotted in the database of China’s 3C certification platform. These include 24122RKC7C, 24127RK2CC, and 24127RK2CC. The third model’s moniker remains unknown, but the Redmi K80 series is believed to include the remaining two. In a new development, the 24122RKC7C device has emerged in Geekbench’s database, revealing its chipset, RAM, and OS version.

Redmi K80 Pro appears with Snapdragon 8 Elite on Geekbench

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset powers the 24122RKC7C phone, as confirmed by the CPU and GPU details mentioned in the Geekbench listing. Thus, it is likely the Redmi K80 Pro. The Geekbench listing further reveals that the device has 16 GB of RAM and runs Android 15. The company has already revealed that the has secured a whopping score of over 3 million on AnTuTu benchmarks.

Last year, the Realme GT 5 Pro and Redmi K70 Pro came equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The base model of both phones offered 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The GT 5 Pro retailed for 3,499 Yuan (~$485), while the Redmi K70 Pro cost 3,299 Yuan (~$456).

Redmi K80 Pro – Most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite phone?

At present, the Realme GT 7 Pro, with a starting price of 3,699 Yuan (~$510) is the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite phone. The K80 Pro may undercut the GT 7 Pro by arriving with a starting price of around 3,499 Yuan (~$485). Therefore, the K80 Pro could become the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite phone. Like its predecessor, the K80 Pro is likely to remain confined to the Chinese market. However, speculation suggests it will be rebranded as the Poco F7 Ultra for the global market in the first half of 2025.

Redmi K80 Pro specifications (rumored)

As far as other specs are concerned, the Redmi K80 Pro is expected to arrive with a 2K OLED panel that offers a 2K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. The device may arrive with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. It may pack a 6,000mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging support. For photography, it may feature a 20-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel (main, OIS) + 32-megapixel (ultrawide) + 50-megapixel (telephoto, 2.6x zoom) triple camera setup. It is expected to come with other features, such as Hyper OS 2, Dragon Crystal Glass build, a metal middle frame, and an IP68-rated chassis.

Xiaomi is expected to launch the Redmi K80 series smartphones by the end of this month. And a new leak from Weibo tipster Experience More has now revealed the specs of both the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro smartphones. 

Redmi K80

The base Redmi K80 is expected to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which is still a powerhouse chip despite not being the absolute latest. The display is rumored to be a 2K Huaxing LTPS panel with a flat design as its predecessor.

The camera system on the back will reportedly include a 50MP Omnivision OV50 main sensor coupled with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. The front-facing camera is tipped to be a 20MP Omnivision OV20B sensor.

In terms of battery life, the K80 boasts a sizeable 6500mAh capacity, which, paired with the expected 90W fast charging, should keep you powered through the day and well into the night. 

Security will be handled by an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor embedded under the display. The phone is also said to sport a metal middle frame for a premium feel, with Dragon Crystal Glass on the front and back, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Redmi K80 Pro

Now, let’s move on to the K80 Pro. Here’s where things get a bit more exciting. The Pro variant is rumored to be equipped with the absolute top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The display remains a 2K Huaxing LTPS panel, sticking with the flat design.

The camera setup on the Pro takes a step up, with a 50MP main sensor (again, Omnivison OV50) joined by a much higher-resolution 32MP ultrawide ISOCELL KD1 sensor and a 50MP ISCOELL JN5 telephoto lens with 2.6x optical zoom. The front-facing camera remains the same 20MP sensor as the standard K80.

As for the battery, it is rumored to be of 6000mAh capacity. However, it’s compensated for by the inclusion of both 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

The rest of the package – the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, metal middle frame, Dragon Crystal Glass build, and IP68 rating – seems identical to the standard K80.

Recently, many users in China noticed that the Redmi K70 series is out of stock. Wang Teng Thomas, the Deputy General Manager of Xiaomi’s China Marketing Department and General Manager of the Redmi brand, responded on Weibo by announcing the early completion of the K70’s sales lifecycle and its subsequent discontinuation. He added that the K70’s strong performance has been widely recognized, making it the best-selling phone in the 2000 Yuan (~$278) to 3000 Yuan (~$417) price range for 2024.

Redmi K80 series launching soon

Wang Teng Thomas also hinted at the upcoming Redmi K80 series, calling it the “new champion” and revealing that it is on the way. He recommended the Redmi K70 Ultra, which features the Dimensity 9300+, for those in urgent need of a new flagship phone from Redmi. Reports indicate that China will announce the Redmi K80 series by the end of this month (November).

The Redmi K70 series, released in November last year, included the K70e, K70, and K70 Pro, with prices starting at 1,999 Yuan (~$278). The Dimensity 8400, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powered the three phones, respectively. The K80 Pro remained exclusive to the Chinese market, whereas the K70e and K70 were rebranded as the Poco X6 Pro and the Poco F6 Pro, respectively, in the global market.

Last week, Thomas confirmed that the Redmi K80 series will not include a Redmi K80e model. The new lineup is expected to feature two models: the Redmi K80 and the K80 Pro. Both phones are expected to face competition from the iQOO Neo 10 and Neo 10 Pro, which are also expected to go official by November end. Reports have revealed that the Neo 10 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, whereas the Neo 10 Pro will have the Dimensity 9400 onboard.

The Redmi K80 and K80 Pro are anticipated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, respectively. The Xiaomi executive has mentioned on multiple occasions that the Redmi K80 series will come with a price hike.

The launch of the Redmi K80 series seems imminent. While Xiaomi hasn’t officially begun teasing the phone yet, a recent live stream on Douyin (China’s TikTok) by Redmi’s General Manager, Wang Teng, has spilled some key details about the upcoming device.

The live video offered a first glimpse of the Redmi K80 Pro’s front design, revealed its AnTuTu benchmark score, and even hinted at its price point.

Redmi K80 Pro Performance and No More “E” Variant

The live stream showcased the Redmi K80 Pro achieving a score of over 3 million points on AnTuTu 10, all while maintaining a room temperature operation with a maximum recorded temperature of 49°C. 

The image also hinted at a metal frame for the phone. Interestingly, two other unnamed phones were displayed alongside the K80 Pro, scoring 2.73 million and 2.83 million points respectively. While a respectable performance, the winner is pretty clear here.

Wang Teng also confirmed that the K80 series will leverage the HyperOS 2 system, specifically customized for enhanced gaming performance, improved touch response, and potentially new system animations. 

Another noteworthy detail revealed during the stream was the confirmation of a return to the dual flagship strategy for the Redmi K series. This means we’ll see a standard Redmi K80 and a K80 Pro, with no successor to the budget-oriented Redmi K70E.

Redmi K80 Pro Price

Perhaps the most interesting information came in the form of price hints. Wang Teng suggested that the Redmi K80 Pro will offer superior specifications compared to the “yellow” competitor’s 13th model, most likely referencing the iQOO 13. Additionally, he hinted at a price tag lower than the “red” competitor’s 13th model, likely the OnePlus 13.

For context, the iQOO 13 (12GB RAM + 256GB storage) retails for 3999 yuan (approximately USD 559), while the OnePlus 13 starts at 4499 yuan (approximately US 630). So the Redmi K80 Pro could fall below the 4,000 yuan mark.

Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K80 series of smartphones by the end of this month (November) in China. The lineup is expected to include the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro smartphones. At present, there is no clarity on whether the series will also have the Redmi K80e as the successor to last year’s K70e. The rumor mill has been intermittently releasing details about the K80 series. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Experience More, sheds information about what appears to be the camera specifications of the K80 Pro. Here’s a look at what to expect from the K80 Pro’s camera performance. 

Redmi K80 Pro camera specifications leak

To recall, the Redmi K70 Pro came equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and an OmniVision OV116A1Q 16-megapixel front camera. Its rear camera setup included an OmniVision Light Fusion 800 primary camera, a 12-megapixel OV13B10 ultra-wide lens, and a 0-megapixel OmniVision Light Fusion 400 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

According to the latest leak, the Redmi K80 Pro’s rear camera setup will retain the 50-megapixel OmniVision Light Fusion 800 primary camera. A 32-megapixel Samsung S5KKD1 ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 telephoto camera with support for 2.6x zoom will join it. For selfies, the device is tipped to feature an upgraded 20-megapixel OV20B front-facing camera.

The new leak suggests a significant upgrade in both the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses, improving versatility and image quality for a broader range of photography scenarios. Additionally, the upgraded front camera will enhance selfie quality, providing clearer and more detailed images compared to the previous model.

A recent leak revealed that the Redmi K80 series will feature a round camera module like the Xiaomi Civi series. Under the hood, the Pro variant is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, whereas the standard K80 may have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip onboard. The 3C certification of both devices has suggested that they will have support for 120W fast charging. Both devices are likely to pack a battery of around 6,000mAh capacity.

According to other reports, the K80 and K80 Pro will have a flat OLED panel. The standard model will support a 1.5K resolution and feature an optical-type fingerprint sensor, whereas the Pro version may support a 2K resolution and feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. Both devices are expected to come preloaded with Android 15 and HyperOS 2.0.

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.

Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in China. Speculations are rife that its sub-brand Redmi will announce the Redmi K80 series of smartphones. Last year, the brand announced the Redmi K70e, K70, and K70 Pro in November. While reports have revealed the existence of the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro models, there is no clarity that there will be a Redmi K80e device this year.  Nevertheless, three new devices that are believed to be part of the K80 lineup have received approval from China’s 3C certification platform

Redmi K80 series 3C certified

The 24122RKC7C model has been spotted with a 120W fast charger in 3C’s database. According to the previously seen IMEI database listing, this device will be known as the Redmi K80. This device is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.  The global variant of this phone, listed as 24122RKC7G in the IMEI database, will be marketed as the Poco F7 Ultra.

As per the 3C listing, the 24127RK2CC may also ship with a 120W charger. This phone has already been listed as the Redmi K80 Pro in the IMEI database. It is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Unlike the other models, the 24127RK2CC does not have a global variant and may remain exclusive to the Chinese market. To recall, the Redmi K70 Pro was a China-exclusive device.  

The third model, 24117RK2CC, may come equipped with a 90W fast charging. While it is also being referred to as K80 Pro, its name for the Chinese market is not yet known. However, the global version of this device, listed as 24117RK2CG, will be branded as the Poco F7 Pro according to the IMEI database.

Additionally, the model 2412DRT0AC, which has yet to receive 3C certification, is identified as the Redmi Turbo 4 in the IMEI database. The global version of this device is listed as 2412DPC0AG, and the Indian variant is 2412DPC0AI, both of which will be marketed as the Poco F7.

The Redmi K80 Pro is eagerly awaited by tech enthusiasts. According to the information leaked by XiaomiTime, the camera features of Redmi K80 Pro will be quite ambitious. The POCO F7 Ultra is expected to be similar to the Redmi K80 Pro. Because Redmi K80 Pro will be introduced as POCO F7 Ultra in the global market. However, it should be noted that POCO may make some changes to the camera hardware of the POCO F7 Ultra. Therefore, the camera sensors on the Redmi K80 Pro may not be exactly the same as the POCO F7 Ultra.

Redmi K80 Pro comes with a triple camera system and each sensor is optimized to meet different needs. The 50MP Omnivision Light Hunter 8000 sensor is used as the main camera. This sensor will improve the quality of photography by offering superior low-light performance and sharper details.

The second camera is equipped with a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 telephoto sensor. With a 3x optical zoom, this sensor can clearly capture objects at a distance. The third camera comes with a 32MP Samsung ISOCELL KD1 ultra-wide angle sensor. With this sensor, wide scenes and landscapes can be captured perfectly. At the front is a 20MP Omnivision OV20B40 sensor. This ensures high quality for selfies and video calls.

The Redmi K80 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This powerful processor will deliver fast performance in demanding apps and games. The 6.67-inch TCL display combined with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate will provide the user with a vivid and smooth viewing experience.

On the software side, the Redmi K80 Pro will come with HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15. This new interface will provide a user-friendly experience. Also, optimize the performance and battery efficiency of the devices. HyperOS 2.0 will offer a high-end software experience with fast response times and customizable interface options.

Xiaomi recently confirmed that it will announce the Xiaomi 15 series in China on Oct. 29. Now, its sub-brand Redmi is gearing up for the launch of the Redmi K80 series. It appears the K80 series’ launch is not too far away, as the alleged Redmi K80 Pro has passed 3C certification in China. The said device has appeared with model number 24117RK2CC in 3C’s database.

Redmi K80 Pro 3C certified

The 3C certification of the Redmi 24117RK2CC reveals that it may ship with a 90W fast charger. Unfortunately, the 3C listing does not reveal anything else about the device.

Leaked specifications suggest the Redmi K80 Pro will be a powerhouse, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which also powers the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro. Its display will reportedly be a 6.67-inch OLED flat panel from TCL Huaxing. It is expected to support a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.  

Rumor has it that the K80 Pro will have up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Reports claim that the device will feature a 6,500mAh battery. Apart from 90W wired charging, the device is expected to have wireless charging support.

In the camera department, the Redmi K80 Pro is tipped to feature a triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a telephoto lens. It is also expected to feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Redmi General Manager Wang Teng has hinted at a price increase for the K80 series, citing rising component costs, particularly for the advanced 3nm processor and memory. Despite the potential price hike, Teng assures that the K80 series will offer exceptional value and “outperform many competing products.”

Rumors suggest that the Redmi K80 series will be announced in November in China. It is expected to face competition from the likes of the OnePlus Ace 5 series, iQOO Neo 10 series, and Realme GT Neo 7, which are expected to debut in November-December in China.

In this month, Vivo and Oppo will launch the Dimensity 9400-powered Vivo X200 series and the Oppo Find X8 lineup. By the end of the month, other brands will unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagships, such as the Xiaomi 15 series, OnePlus 13, Honor Magic 7 series, and iQOO 13. A new leak by tipster Smart Pikachu suggests that sub-flagship phones from Redmi, OnePlus, iQOO, and Realme will launch in China in November and December of this year. Here’s a look at the details shared by the tipster.

Launch timeframe for upcoming sub-flagship phones tipped

According to the tipster, the Redmi K80 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip features a 2K flat OLED display and is expected to be a price killer. Competitors such as the OnePlus Ace 5, Realme GT Neo 7, and iQOO Neo 10 are also equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and feature OLED panels that offer a resolution of 1.5K.

The Redmi K80 Pro, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, will feature a 2K flat OLED screen, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and wireless charging. The OnePlus Ace 5 Pro and iQOO Neo 10 Pro will come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400, respectively. The displays on these phones will support a 1.5K resolution, and they are also said to pack larger batteries.

Other reports have revealed that the Realme GT Neo 7 will have an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Reports also suggest that it supports 100W charging. The Neo 10 series is expected to pack 6,000mAh+ silicon batteries with support for over 100W charging.

The OnePlus Ace 5 series may feature 6,500mAh silicon batteries and support 100W charging. According to reports, the Redmi K80 Pro will come with a 6,000mAh battery that supports 100W charging and wireless charging. Last year, the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro packed the same 5,000mAh battery. Therefore, it is uncertain if the Redmi K80 will have a 6,000mAh battery similar to its Pro version. Since these are sub-flagship phones, they are inclined to deliver better performance for gaming and are unlikely to feature top-notch specs like their flagship counterparts launching in October.

We previously reported that the Redmi K80 series had been spotted in the IMEI database. New information about these smartphones has started to leak and the most important change is that the Redmi K80 Pro will be sold in the global market. Yes, it has been decided that the smartphone, which was originally set to be exclusive to China, will be sold in the Global market.

This is an unexpected change and surprised everyone. This also means that we will see a POCO smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Of course, take these with a pinch of salt as Xiaomi is likely to make a change again. This information comes from XiaomiTime.

Redmi K80 series coming soon

Redmi K80 series is expected to come with 2 different models: Redmi K80, and Redmi K80 Pro. As for the specs of the devices, the Redmi K80 will have the codename “zorn” and the internal model number “O11”. Also, this smartphone will come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

At first, the Redmi K80 was thought to have the codename “miro”. But it revealed that the codename “miro” belongs to the Redmi K80 Pro. Redmi K80 Pro draws attention with its internal model number “O11U” and codename “miro”. This smartphone will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (SM8750) processor.

• Redmi K80 – Zorn – SM8650 – 24122RKC7G/24122RKC7C
• Redmi K80 Pro – Miro – SM8750 – 24117RK2CG / 24117RK2CC

The Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro will be available globally, but not in India. A different smartphone, codenamed “rodin”, which is expected to come to Global and India, has also been spotted. This smartphone can be expected to have a possible MediaTek processor, i.e. Dimensity 8400. Of course, you should keep in mind that the Redmi K series phones will come under the POCO brand.

The Redmi K80 Pro was originally expected to be China-only, but we think Xiaomi has made a change as a result of the leak of the plans. Another Redmi K-series smartphone codenamed “dali” has been spotted. There is a high probability that this smartphone will be canceled.

If it is not canceled, we could see 3 different Redmi K series models and this could be surprising. Still, the Redmi K80 series is attracting a lot of attention and we are curious to see what it has to offer. The Redmi K80 series is expected to be announced in November.
