    Redmi Compact Flagship: 6.3-Inch Display & 6000mAh Battery

    Redmi is anticipated to unveil its K80 series smartphones in November, which will include both a standard model and a Pro version. However, it appears that these aren’t the only devices in development. Recent leaks from China indicate that Redmi is also looking to launch a compact sub-flagship phone.

    Rumors About a Compact Phone

    The information comes from the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS), who hinted last Wednesday that Redmi may be working on a smaller phone, asking, “Do you think Redmi needs a high-performance small-screen phone?” Yesterday, DCS shared some important specifications for this upcoming device. According to DCS, Redmi is “internally” planning to release a “small-screen phone” featuring a 6.3-inch display. Even with its smaller size, the phone might boast a 6000mAh battery if the leak holds true.

    Possible Trade-offs

    Despite the compact design, there could be some trade-offs. The leaker suggests that the phone will not have a telephoto lens nor support for wireless charging, but reassures that it will be a “high-performance sub-flagship.” Recently, Vivo launched a compact flagship, the X200 Pro Mini, as part of its high-end range. This trend towards compact phones seems to be gaining traction this year. DCS previously hinted that the “top five” smartphone brands are “evaluating” small-screen devices. It appears that Redmi will be among those brands.

    Uncertain Series Association

    It’s still uncertain to which Redmi series this phone will belong. It could potentially be part of the upcoming K-series or the performance-oriented Turbo series. If it is included in the K80 lineup, we might see the phone launched in November alongside the K80 and K80 Pro. The K80 Pro is rumored to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the standard K80 could come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

    A Redmi executive has hinted at a possible increase in pricing for these smartphones. For reference, the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro were initially priced at 2,499 Yuan (~$355) and 3,299 Yuan (~$465), respectively.

  • Redmi K80 Features 6500mAh Battery and Telephoto Lens

    Redmi K80 Features 6500mAh Battery and Telephoto Lens

    Redmi is preparing to unveil its latest Note 14 Pro series smartphones in China this week. Following this, new devices from the K80 series are anticipated to be released in November or December.

    Key Features of the Redmi K80

    The K80 series is expected to include a standard Redmi K80 and a Pro version. Recent leaks have revealed some significant details about the standard Redmi K80, notably its impressive battery capacity. According to the Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, the Redmi K80 is likely to come with “flagship waterproof” features. This is a significant upgrade over last year’s Redmi K70 and its Pro variant, which did not offer any waterproofing.

    We anticipate at least an IP68 rating for the K80, and there’s a chance it could even achieve an IP69 rating, especially since the more budget-friendly Redmi Note 14 Pro has already been confirmed to have an IP69 rating.

    Camera and Design Enhancements

    The leak also indicates that the smartphone will include a telephoto lens that can capture macro shots as well. If this is accurate, it marks another impressive upgrade from the Redmi K70, which had a triple rear camera setup but no telephoto lens. Additionally, it is reported that the back of the phone will be made of glass, with white as one of the potential color options.

    Impressive Battery Life

    Moreover, the leak mentions that a powerful 6500mAh battery will power the device. The trend for large batteries, especially those around 6000mAh, is becoming common in smartphones for 2024. Several flagship models are rumored to feature batteries of this capacity, including Redmi’s own Note 14 Pro+, which is confirmed to have a 6200mAh battery.

    In addition to this, earlier reports suggest that the Redmi K80 may come equipped with a 2K OLED display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.

    The K80 will be launched alongside its Pro counterpart, which is also expected to feature the same chipset and display, although they may differ in terms of charging capabilities and battery size.

    There’s a chance that the K80 and K80 Pro might be rebranded as the Poco F7 and F7 Pro when released in markets outside of China.

The K80 series is rumored to incorporate new glossy materials and composite glass, with ceramic also being considered. One design option reportedly under consideration involves relocating the camera module to the upper left corner. Additionally, it’s suggested that the K80 series will have a Champion Edition, akin to the K70 series.

    The IMEI database listings for the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro show model numbers 24122RKC7C and 24127RK2CC, respectively. These phones are expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipsets. As of now, there is no information about a potential Redmi K80e model.

    Specifications and Features

    Reports suggest that the Redmi K80 Pro will feature a flat display with 2K resolution and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. It will be equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera and a telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. The device is expected to house a 5,500mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging.

    Currently, there are no detailed leaks regarding the specifications of the Redmi K80. It is speculated that the K80 and K80 Pro could be rebranded as the Poco F7 and F7 Pro for the global market in 2025.

  • Redmi K80 Series to Include Champion Edition, Tipster Reveals

    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.

    A leak originating from blogger @Digital Chat Station, as reported on IT Home on March 6th, has illuminated some aspects of Xiaomi's upcoming Redmi K80 series smartphones. Although official details are currently undisclosed, the leak provides insights into what could be anticipated from the forthcoming iteration of these popular devices.

Speculations revolve around the introduction of "ultra-large-capacity high-density silicon anode batteries," hinting at a potential enhancement over the Redmi K70's 5000mAh capacity. Regarding design, the K80 series is expected to maintain familiar characteristics of the K70, such as a 2K display, a metal central frame, and a glass exterior.

    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.
