Basically, there are two models in the series: Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro, identifiable by their model numbers 24122RKC7C and 24117RK2CC, respectively. The new generation of Redmi phones promises to span high-performance hardware, the most advanced features, and affordable pricing for a firmer grounding in the mid-to-high-end segment.

  • Redmi K80 Pro: Equipped with the next generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, bringing up efficiency and performance capability even higher.

Snapdragon 8 Generation 3 will have notable graphics, AI, and CPU improvements over the previous versions, and Snapdragon 8 Generation 4 may offer advanced innovations like finer AI processing capabilities and further improved power efficiency.

Display: 2K Pure Straight Screen

The 2K pure straight screen is tipped for both models in the Redmi K80 series, ensuring their prime qualities will flaunt when it comes to colors and details. This may also include a refresh rate of 120Hz, making the phones perfect for smoother scrolling, brutal gaming, and different kinds of multimedia consumption.

Camera: 50MP Main and Telephoto Cameras

It is expected that the main camera of Redmi K80 will support 50MP with a vertical telephoto solution. Though the first prototype may not include a telephoto macro lens, the Pro version is very likely to adopt a higher-end telephoto solution to get a better portrait photography experience.

While the Redmi K80 Pro might come with support for a 3.x optical zoom telephoto camera for better prospects of photography in long-distance shots and portrait modes.

Battery and Charging: 5500mAh and 120W Fast Charging

Powering the K80 series will be a 5500mAh battery, providing heavy users with ample battery life. It will also sport 120W fast charging so users can spend minimal time recharging their phones and can get going in no time.

Expected Release

    HyperOS is super smooth on my Mi 11 and Turbo 3.
    It just sounds like YOU need to get something better than a Redmi 9C to experience what HyperOS actually has to offer.
