The rumor mill has now begun discussing the upcoming flagship phones set to debut in the final quarter of this year in China. Xiaomi is anticipated to unveil the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, which will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, in October. There's also a chance that its sub-brand, Redmi, will introduce the Redmi K80 series in November. Recent leaks have provided some insights into the Redmi K80 Pro, with tipster Experience More offering additional details about the device.
Redmi K80 Pro Key Specifications (Rumored)
The tipster suggests that the Redmi K80 Pro will come with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. Until now, Redmi phones have utilized optical-type under-display fingerprint scanners. Therefore, the K80 Pro might be the first Redmi phone to incorporate an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
Another detail mentioned by the leaker is that the Redmi K80 Pro’s telephoto camera will support up to 3x optical zoom, a notable upgrade from its predecessor model's 2x optical zoom capability.
Additional Features and Design
Previous reports indicate that the Redmi K80 Pro will feature a flat OLED panel with a 2K resolution. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset and a 5,500mAh battery, along with 120W fast charging support. Other specifics of the K80 Pro are still under wraps.
The Redmi K80 series is expected to showcase a new back design. Both the K80 and K80 Pro are likely to sport a glass back. The K70 Pro was launched last year at 3,299 Yuan ($455). With the introduction of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 phones, which are expected to be priced higher, the K80 Pro might start at around 3,799 Yuan ($525).
