Last month, Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 14 series of smartphones in China. According to reports, the brand is now working on the Redmi K80 series, which is expected to go official after the Xiaomi 15 series. The Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro are likely to launch in the last week of this month. On the other hand, the K80 lineup may break cover in November. Today, reliable leaker Digital Chat Station seemingly shared some key information about the Redmi K80 Pro.
It can be said based on the new leak that the alleged Redmi K80 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite (aka. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4) chipset. The device will house a 6,000mAh silicon-based battery with a high energy density, ensuring a slim profile despite the significant battery size increase.
The leak also reveals that the device will have support for 100W fast charging and wireless charging. To recall, the Redmi K70 Pro from last year remained exclusive to the Chinese market. Therefore, the K80 Pro may not launch outside of China.
The K80 lineup is expected to include multiple models, such as the Redmi K80e and the Redmi K80. According to reports, the K80e may feature the upcoming Dimensity 8400, whereas the K80 could be blessed with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Globally, the Redmi K80 may get rebadged as the Poco F7. On the other hand, the K80e may get repackaged as the Poco X7 Pro in markets outside of China. Both of these Poco devices are expected to launch in the first quarter of 2025.
