Last month, Xiaomi introduced the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro smartphones featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in China. On November 27, their sub-brand Redmi is set to present the Redmi K80 series to the Chinese audience. Today, the brand shared a poster that officially reveals the chipset powering the Redmi K80 Pro.
Redmi K80 Pro’s Chipset Revealed
The Redmi K80 Pro is outfitted with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a gaming-focused D1 independent graphics chip. This powerful duo has achieved an outstanding AnTuTu benchmark score of 3,194,766, highlighting its remarkable performance abilities. The Redmi K70 Ultra, which launched a few months ago in China, was the first model to sport the D1 graphics chip powered by the Dimensity 9300 Plus. Besides the Snapdragon 8 Elite and D1 chips, the K80 Pro comes equipped with Gaming Engine 4.0, which allows for 2K super-resolution and 120fps super frame rates for all gaming experiences.
Display and Eye Care Features
The Redmi K80 series will be equipped with a CSOT 2K M9 flat display that boasts a peak brightness of 1800 nits, making it easier to see outdoors while also cutting power consumption by 20.3%, thus making it both bright and energy-saving. Furthermore, the series integrates hardware-level DC dimming and circular polarization technology to help reduce eye fatigue. The AON Intelligent Eye Protection feature uses the front camera to observe user eye habits and send timely reminders accordingly.
Design and Durability
In terms of aesthetics, the Redmi K80 Pro highlights precise craftsmanship through a light mist dual-work integration technique, enhancing its elegance by 2.5 times. It uses Xiaomi’s screen routing technology, achieving an ultra-thin 1.9mm bottom bezel and a nearly flawless 50:50 weight distribution. Remarkably, this is Redmi’s first device to feature a seamless top design. The K80 Pro also brings in Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0, which includes an upgraded ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that ensures fast and precise recognition, even with wet hands. Moreover, the K80 series is rated for IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.
