Redmi K80 Series to Include Champion Edition, Tipster Reveals
The Redmi K80 series is anticipated to debut in China by November. Today, Smart Pikachu, a tipster on Weibo, disclosed that the entire Redmi K80 lineup is undergoing tests with a 2K display.
The Redmi K70 was equipped with a 2K (1440 x 3200) display, featuring 4000 nits peak brightness, HDR10+, Dolby Vision for vivid colors, and TUV Rheinland certification for eye protection. The tipster mentioned that the K80 series’ screen will have a slightly curved design, akin to the mid-range Redmi Note series.
Redmi K80 Series to Feature a Premium Champion Edition
Additionally, the K80 series will include a co-branded model similar to previous iterations. For instance, the Redmi K70 Pro Champion Edition was a collaboration between Redmi and Lamborghini. Thus, it’s likely that the co-branded model in the Redmi K80 lineup could also be a Champion Edition produced in partnership with Lamborghini.
To give you a sense of what to anticipate, last year’s Redmi K70 Pro Champion Edition was priced at approximately $1200 and featured a unique design compared to the standard Pro model.
Upcoming Chipsets and Battery Details
According to earlier rumors, the Redmi K80 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The K80 Pro will incorporate the forthcoming Snapdragon flagship, while the base model will utilize the currently available Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The device will sport a 5500 mAh battery and support 120W fast charging.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is slated for release at the Snapdragon Technology Summit 2024 in October. This new flagship chipset is built on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process. Unlike the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the 8 Gen 4 employs Qualcomm’s self-developed Nuvia Phoenix architecture, which offers superior performance compared to the ARM architecture. This will also mark the company’s first fully self-developed 5G SoC.

Although official details are currently undisclosed, the leak provides insights into what could be anticipated from the forthcoming iteration of these popular devices.

It is essential to note that this information is sourced from a leak and not from official sources at Xiaomi. While it offers a sneak peek into the potential trajectory of the K80 series, official specifications, features, and release timelines may diverge from these unofficial details.
