Redmi is rumored to launch the K70 Ultra smartphone this month. Xiaomi’s sub-brand will likely release the Redmi K80 series in China following this. A report earlier this week revealed that the Pro model in the line will feature a 3x telephoto lens and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Today, the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station corroborated it saying Redmi K80 Pro will indeed come with a 50MP 3x telephoto lens. Additionally, the tipster mentioned that the phone will have a 2K flat display and will be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.
The tipster also previously revealed that the phone will include a 5500mAh battery and support 120W charging. Apart from this, other details about the smartphone are still under wraps.
The K80 Pro will be joined by its vanilla sibling, Redmi K80. According to previous reports, the standard K80 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Like the Pro model, the K80 is expected to have a flat OLED screen with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. While the K80 Pro is likely to feature a telephoto camera similar to the K70 Pro, it is unclear if the standard K80 will also include a telephoto camera.
Another leaker mentioned that both phones will sport a new design on the back, featuring a new glass material.
Moreover, a report last month revealed that there won’t be a Redmi K80E, the successor to Redmi K70E, this year. Xiaomi reportedly wants the Redmi K-series to focus on more premium devices now.
As for the launch, the Xiaomi 15 series will be the first from the company to be powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC and is rumored to launch in October. The Redmi K80 series is expected to follow with the launch expected sometime in November.
