Xiaomi has announced that it will be launching the Redmi K80 series this week in China. This series is set to be the most high-end offering from the Redmi brand for the year, debuting alongside other gadgets like the Redmi Watch 5 and Buds 6 Pro. It is anticipated that the Redmi K80 Pro will be rebranded as the Poco F7 Ultra next year, promising to meet the performance expectations associated with that name.
Performance Expectations
According to Digital Chat Station, the forthcoming Redmi K80 Pro is expected to deliver performance on par with the best Android smartphones available, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage. On Geekbench 6, the K80 Pro achieves a single-core score of 3050 and a multi-core score of 9216. While gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone 9 might surpass these figures, they are still impressive compared to the average Snapdragon 8 Elite device.
Gaming Capabilities
In terms of graphics, the Redmi K80 Pro does equally well, scoring 2441 on 3DMark's Steel Nomad Light. Its actual gaming performance is also commendable, providing peak FPS in popular games like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Trail, and Honor of Kings, while typically keeping its power consumption below 4W and avoiding major FPS drops during testing.
