While Xiaomi is preparing to launch smartphones of the new flagship Xiaomi 15 series, its sponsored brand Redmi is actively working on its future flagships of the Redmi K80 line, which will initially include the Redmi K80, Redmi K80 Pro and rumored Redmi K80E models.
To date, it has been confirmed that the Redmi K80 Pro will be powered by Qualcomm‘s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, which will enter the market either as the Snapdragon 8 Elite or as the Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition. However, this is not a surprise, considering that the Redmi K70 Pro is built on the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
In addition, it is claimed that the Redmi K80 Pro is equipped with a silicon battery with a serious capacity of 6000 mAh, which is a noticeable improvement over the 5000 mAh battery of the Redmi K70 Pro.
An insider at the Digital Chat Station said that “energy density has set a new high,” which speaks to the ability of the Redmi K80 Pro battery to store more energy in a smaller space.
At the same time, the same source claims that the Redmi K80 Pro will support fast charging with a power of 100 watts, and the key addition to this will be the device’s support for wireless charging, the power of which is not mentioned, but it is unlikely to exceed 50 watts.
By the way, the flagship devices of the future Redmi K80 line will probably work out of the box under the control of the new proprietary HyperOS 2.0 platform, all the known information about which can be found here.
