Xiaomi and Redmi are gearing up to launch several smartphones powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. Reports suggest that the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, which will feature this new chip, are set to be unveiled in October. Similarly, the Redmi K80 Pro is anticipated to be equipped with the same chipset. Recently, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed some crucial specifications of the Redmi K80 Pro. In a subsequent Weibo post, DCS disclosed additional insights about the device.
Key Specifications of Redmi K80 Pro
The recent leaks indicate that the Redmi K80 Pro will boast a new high-capacity battery solution capable of 100W charging.
