In an exciting new update from the trustworthy source Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is preparing to unveil a mid-range smartphone featuring an impressive 7000mAh battery. This new device is anticipated to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Elite/8s Gen 4 (SM8735).
Powerful Chipset
The Snapdragon 8s Elite, which is a potential name, follows the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and aims to strike a good balance between performance and energy efficiency. Although it won't match the top-tier chipsets in terms of power, it's expected to show notable advancements compared to its predecessor. Moreover, this chipset is likely to be more affordable than its high-end equivalents.
Fast Charging Capabilities
Alongside the enormous 7000mAh battery, Xiaomi is said to be including 90W wired fast charging in this device. While it may not be the quickest charging option available, it should be able to effectively recharge the large battery in a timely manner. Unfortunately, it looks like wireless charging might not be featured in this particular model.
Earlier this year, Digital Chat Station also pointed out that Xiaomi was experimenting with multiple battery and charging setups, including configurations with as much as 7,500mAh capacity and 100W charging.
Model Speculations
The specific model number and branding of this smartphone are yet to be disclosed, but many believe it could belong to Xiaomi’s Redmi series. It's possible that it might be called the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro or Redmi K90, as the model number “SM8735” was seen in the HyperOS software earlier this year. However, it’s crucial to remember that these are just speculations for now.
On a related note, Redmi is set to introduce the K80 series in China on November 27, featuring a maximum battery capacity of 6500mAh and 120W fast charging. The series will include two variants: the K80 and K80 Pro. Both devices boast a high-quality 2K AMOLED display that reaches 1800 nits peak brightness, TÜV Rheinland eye protection, and innovative visual health features.
The K80 Pro runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with Oryon cores and comes with a 50MP triple-camera system that includes optical zoom. Meanwhile, the K80 utilizes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and has a 50MP main camera. Other notable features include IP68/IP69 rating for durability and a luxurious design with Dragon Crystal Glass and ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.
