Redmi K80 Pro to Feature Ultrasonic In-Display Fingerprint Sensor
Redmi is anticipated to launch the Redmi K80 series smartphones in China this November. This series is expected to include at least three models: the Redmi K80e, Redmi K80, and Redmi K80 Pro.

MediaTek Dimensity 8400 AnTuTu Score Leaks, Surpasses Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
MediaTek’s forthcoming flagship SoC, the Dimensity 9400, has been generating substantial buzz in the rumor circles for months. Yet, it appears this might not be the only top-tier chip the company is crafting. According to a recent Weibo post by leaker Digital Chat Station, MediaTek is also developing the Dimensity 8400, a sub-flagship SoC with notable capabilities.
The leak indicates that the Dimensity 8400 scores between 1.7 million and 1.8 million on the AnTuTu benchmark. This performance level positions it on par with, or even surpasses, the newly introduced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which achieves around 1.7 million points in the same test.
Impressive Performance and Competitive Pricing
However, raw performance isn’t the whole story. The source mentions that the most economical smartphone featuring the Dimensity 8400 could be priced as low as 1,500 yuan (approximately $200). If accurate, devices equipped with this SoC will not only outperform their Qualcomm rivals but will also be more affordable.
Additionally, Chinese tech publication IT Home reports that back in April, Digital Chat Station disclosed that Redmi is developing smartphones with various processors, including the Dimensity 9300+, Dimensity 8400, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Shared Design Features in Upcoming Models
Interestingly, three of these Redmi models are rumored to share design elements, such as a metal frame, glass body, 1.5K or 2K displays, 100W fast charging, and substantial batteries.
While it remains unconfirmed which Redmi phone will incorporate the Dimensity 8400, it could potentially be part of the forthcoming K80 series, although this is purely speculative on our part.
Bear in mind that these details are still based on rumors, so the official benchmark scores and pricing for the Dimensity 8400 phone could differ from the information provided. However, if the leaks hold true, the Dimensity 8400 might deliver flagship-level performance at a mid-range price, further intensifying competition in the smartphone market.
