Xiaomi is likely to unveil the Redmi K80 series in November, which will start with two smartphones, while the Ultra version may come out next year. Reports indicate that the standard model will probably be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, whereas the Pro version is anticipated to include the newly launched Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Affordable Flagship Features
Based on previous K-series releases, the Redmi K80 Pro is expected to be one of the more budget-friendly options among Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship devices. Although Xiaomi has yet to reveal detailed specifications for this phone, a recent leak has provided insight into its potential camera features.
Camera Specifications Revealed
XiaomiTime reports that the K80 Pro might include a 50 MP OVX8000 main sensor, a 50 MP Samsung S5KJN5 telephoto lens, and a 32 MP Samsung S5KKD1 ultrawide camera. Among these three sensors, the leaked information suggests that the telephoto lens will offer 3x optical zoom, which was also hinted at by a trusted Weibo leaker, 体验more, earlier.
Moreover, XiaomiTime mentions that the front-facing camera will have a 20 MP OV20B40 sensor. This camera configuration represents an upgrade from the Redmi K70 Pro, making the upcoming Redmi K80 Pro more flexible in photography options.
Charging Capabilities and Global Launch
In other updates, the Redmi K80 Pro has been seen in a 3C certification listing. This certification indicates that the forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship will support wired 120W fast charging, which surpasses the 90W charging capability of the newly announced Xiaomi 15 Pro.
On the flip side, the non-Pro Redmi K80 is rumored to have 90W fast charging support (120W Anker 737 GaNPrime charger curr. $69.99 on Amazon). Both the non-Pro and Pro versions are anticipated to launch in international markets under the Poco brand, with the Pro variant likely debuting as the Poco F7 Ultra.
XiaomiTime and Digital Chat Station shared these details on Weibo, based on machine translations from Chinese.
