Redmi K80 Pro Specs Revealed Ahead of Launch w/ Snapdragon 8 Elite
As Xiaomi gears up for the launch of its highly anticipated Xiaomi 15 series later this month, its sub-brand Redmi is quietly preparing to make waves with the upcoming Redmi K80 lineup. The new series is expected to feature two models: the standard Redmi K80 and the more powerful Redmi K80 Pro.
Recent leaks from a reliable source, Digital Chat Station (DCS), have shed light on what we can expect from the K80 Pro. Although the original Weibo post has since been deleted, we were able to secure a screenshot of the details before it disappeared.
Redmi K80 Pro Key Specifications
According to DCS, the Redmi K80 Pro will be powered by Qualcomm’s forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This is an exciting prospect, though not entirely unexpected, given that the K70 Pro already comes equipped with the high-performance Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
One of the standout upgrades is the battery. The K80 Pro could come with a massive 6000mAh silicon battery, a significant leap from the K70 Pro’s 5000mAh cell. But what’s more intriguing is DCS’s mention of the “energy density setting a new high.” This suggests that Redmi might be leveraging the advantages of silicon batteries, which are known for their higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-based batteries.
Higher energy density typically means that manufacturers can either fit more power into the same-sized battery or reduce the battery size without compromising capacity. This could result in a slimmer design for the K80 Pro, despite its larger battery capacity.
In addition, the K80 Pro is rumored to support blazing-fast 100W wired charging. What’s even more exciting is the potential addition of wireless charging, a first for the Redmi K-series. If true, this feature will provide users with a more convenient way to recharge their device without the hassle of cables.
What to Expect?
As with any leak, it’s important to take these details with a pinch of salt until Redmi makes an official announcement. However, if these specs hold up, the Redmi K80 Pro is shaping up to be an impressive contender in the smartphone market, offering powerful performance, longer battery life, and new charging features that could redefine the K-series experience.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official reveal!
