Emir BardakçıRecently, some findings have been made in the Xiaomi firmware code of HyperOS, where it has been found that the display panel for the upcoming device Redmi K80 will be provided by TCL. This has been a sneak peek into the hardware componentry of this highly anticipated gadget, thus hinting at the chances of improved display quality for the Redmi K80 series.
Evidence from HyperOS Code
The details have come through code snippets available within the HyperOS firmware that directly point to display panel suppliers with device model numbers. In detail, here are the key points:
- 42 02 0b = TCL
- 36 02 0b = Tianma
In an entry in the configuration file of the device with codename O11, believed to be the Redmi K80, it had:
vendor/etc/spr_cfg_xiaomi_o11_42_02_0a_cmd_mode_dsc_dsi_panel.xml
The code “42 02 0a” points to a TCL-made panel. So, most likely, the Redmi K80 (model number O11) will sport a display from TCL.
What It Means for the Redmi K80
TCL is very well celebrated for its good-quality display panels that house excellent color accuracy and brightness. With a TCL panel, the Redmi K80 could offer users an enhanced visual experience, probably featuring:
- Enhanced Colour Gamut: Provides richer and more accurate colors with respect to multimedia consumption.
- Higher Brightness Levels: The visibility included is variously improved in these lighting conditions.
- Higher Contrast Ratios: True blacks and brilliant whites for livelier images.
This might help Xiaomi maintain competitive pricing while offering a better display for the Redmi K80 series.
