This year, Redmi is looking to grow its K80 series with the soon-to-be-released Redmi K80 Ultra. According to reports, it may be the first flagship from Redmi to hit the market in the latter half of this year. The rumor mill has been busy sharing information about the K80 Ultra. A recent leak indicated that this Ultra model will come with a much better battery. Now, thanks to tipster Smart Pikachu, more important details about the K80 Ultra have been unveiled.
Key Features of the Redmi K80 Ultra
The recent leak shows that the Redmi K80 Ultra will have a glass exterior and a metal middle frame. Unlike the Redmi K70 Ultra, which had an optical fingerprint sensor, the K80 Ultra is expected to have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor instead. This leak also points out that the K80 Ultra will not include a periscope camera, which is not surprising as its focus is on performance rather than photography. When the leaker was asked about the battery size of the K80 Ultra, it was disclosed that it would feature the largest battery ever on a Redmi device. According to a recent report, the K80 Ultra’s battery capacity will be no less than 6,500mAh, suggesting a battery life of over 7,000mAh. In terms of design, it is expected to resemble the current models in the Redmi K80 series.
Expected Launch Timeline
The Redmi K70 Ultra was officially announced in July 2024. When inquired whether the K80 Ultra would follow the same launch schedule as the K70 Ultra, Smart Pikachu stated that its release would be slightly earlier, hinting at a launch in June or early July this year.
Performance Specs and Display
As for the chipset, the Redmi K80 Ultra is anticipated to be among the first devices equipped with the Dimensity 9400 Plus chip, which is an overclocked version of the D9400. The leak also mentions a high-end variant, but it does not go into detail about what that could involve. It might refer to a special edition or a model with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, similar to the Redmi K70 Ultra. Additional reports have confirmed that the K80 Ultra will come with a flat OLED display featuring ultra-slim bezels and supporting a 1.5K resolution.
