Xiaomi Redmi K80 Series Flagship is Coming Soon, Wang Teng Explains Price Increase

Wang Teng, Deputy General Manager of Xiaomi China Market Department and General Manager of Redmi brand, recently posted an explanation for the price increase of flagship phones this year. He said that the flagship processor upgrade to the latest 3nm process has significantly increased manufacturing costs. On the other hand, memory has been increasing in price for a year and has reached its peak, so the increase is higher for large memory versions. Wang Teng admitted, "The pricing of these flagship models at the end of the year is quite difficult; every good product deserves to be encouraged."

In the Weibo comment section, Wang Teng also responded to the price increase issue, saying, "We will maintain a fair price" and "Be patient and wait, we won't let you down." Previously, Wang Teng had posted, "We've meticulously reviewed the Redmi flagship products. This generation has a significant upgrade in positioning and specifications. It's not just about performance, but also xxxx. Those planning to upgrade their phones at the end of the year can wait and see."

Currently, the Xiaomi Redmi K80 series has obtained the MIIT network access permit, including two models, K80 and K80 Pro, with model numbers 24122RKC7C and 24117RK2CC respectively. The release date is expected to be at the end of the year.

Based on Wang Teng's statements and the network access information of the Redmi K80 series, this new product will continue Redmi's consistent high cost-performance ratio approach while also significantly upgrading in performance and specifications. Specifically, the Redmi K80 series will be equipped with the latest flagship processor and adopt the latest 3nm process technology, offering superior performance and lower power consumption. Additionally, the series will feature large memory and large-capacity batteries, as well as a more advanced imaging system.

Although the chip cost and memory price increases have put pressure on the price of the Redmi K80 series, Wang Teng also promised to strive to maintain a fair price so that users can experience the latest flagship technology at a reasonable cost.

The specific configuration and price of the Redmi K80 series have not yet been announced. However, based on the current information, this new product is expected to be a highlight of the mobile phone market at the end of the year, worth looking forward to.
