The Redmi K80 is making waves in the smartphone world with its impressive battery size of 6,550mAh, which sets it apart from the Pro version. This significant battery capacity is seen as its key strength. However, there are already signs that future models in this series could surpass it in both size and performance.
New Battery Developments
According to the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, Redmi is preparing to introduce even larger batteries, estimated to be around 7,000mAh, for its upcoming devices, including the K90, which is expected to be a sub-flagship. Moreover, it appears that rivals like OnePlus are also planning to enhance their battery capacities by 2025.
Competitive Displays
In addition, there are rumors that Realme's next affordable model, the GT6, might outshine the Redmi K80 by featuring a superior 2K+ LTPS ultrasonic fingerprint display from Samsung, instead of relying on Chinese manufacturers like TCL CSOT or BOE.
Sales Performance
Since the introduction of the K80 and K80 Pro in November 2024, it has been reported that over 1 million units have already been sold in its home country. This achievement is reminiscent of the flagship 15 series from Xiaomi, which is the parent company of Redmi.
This strong sales performance could indicate a promising future for the K80 on a global scale, as it is likely to be launched as the successor to the Poco F6 Pro on platforms like Amazon in 2025.
