As major smartphone manufacturers are all launching new technologies and designs to carve out their own space in the market, Redmi is focusing its attention on the mid-range segment. While the Redmi K80 series isn't positioned as flagship, it consistently boasts strong capabilities and has gained significant influence in recent years. As other brands are busy unveiling flagship models, the Redmi K80 series stands out with its advantages, even showcasing impressive impact in certain areas, generating significant anticipation.

Recently, leaked information regarding the Redmi K80 series has resurfaced, further fueling the excitement for the product line. The Redmi K80 series is expected to include two models: Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro, each equipped with different processors to cater to diverse user needs.

The launch pace of the Redmi K80 series is quite fast, with an expected release in November, just around the corner. Notably, the Redmi K80E variant has been discontinued this generation, reportedly to make way for the Redmi Turbo series and avoid overlapping positioning. More importantly, the two versions of the Redmi K80 series will boast many overlapping specifications, even becoming standard features, further intensifying consumer anticipation.

According to a blogger, the Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro will both come standard with a 2K resolution eye-protecting straight screen, not only enhancing display quality but also minimizing eye strain during extended usage. It is likely that the screen will be supplied by Huaxing Optoelectronics, utilizing C9 material. Compared to the previous generation, both display quality and durability have been improved, and the screen supports a 120Hz high refresh rate.

In terms of unlocking methods, the Redmi K80 series introduces innovation with single-point ultrasonic fingerprint technology as standard across the series. This enhances both security and user convenience. Compared to traditional optical fingerprint recognition, ultrasonic technology possesses inherent advantages in accuracy and speed, particularly excelling in scenarios like unlocking with wet hands.

Regarding core configuration, the Redmi K80 is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the Redmi K80 Pro might adopt the even more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor. Both processors utilize cutting-edge manufacturing processes, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy particularly benefiting from 3nm chip technology.

Market data indicates that the Redmi K80 Pro's internal codename is Miro, with model numbers 24117RK2CG and 24117RK2CC. Conversely, the Redmi K80's internal codename is Zorn, with model numbers 24122RKC7G/24122RKC7C. Additionally, the Redmi K80 series will employ a combination of LPDDR5X and USF4.0 memory, supporting a 12GB+256GB memory configuration.

Battery performance is always a crucial factor for smartphone users, and the Redmi K80 series excels in this area as well. The Redmi K80 boasts a battery capacity exceeding 6500mAh, supporting up to 90W wired fast charging, and potentially even adopting 30W wireless fast charging. The Redmi K80 Pro integrates a 6000mAh battery capacity, supporting 120W wired fast charging combined with 30W wireless fast charging technology, readily fulfilling daily charging needs.

It's worth noting that the Redmi K80 series will come standard across all versions with full-function NFC, infrared remote control, dual speakers, X-axis linear motor, and high-grade waterproof and dustproof features are highly likely.

Imaging capabilities are another key highlight of the Redmi K80 series. Both models will be equipped with a 50MP (50 million pixels) regular large-aperture main camera, enabling capture of greater detail and enhancing image quality. Alongside the main camera, the series will also feature an ultra-wide-angle lens, adequately fulfilling users' wide-angle shooting needs.

The Redmi K80 Pro will even feature a 50MP 3.XJN1 upright telephoto lens, boosting long-range shooting capabilities and supporting telephoto macro photography. Moreover, the series inherits the image processing algorithms of Xiaomi flagship models, resulting in outstanding performance in color, contrast, and clarity of captured images.

Lastly, the Redmi K80 series will incorporate the Pengpai OS 2.0 version, prioritizing AI features with significant appeal.

Based on the currently known leaked information, the Redmi K80 series showcases compelling competitiveness across various aspects. Its robust performance, remarkable imaging capabilities, and abundant features will undeniably deliver an unparalleled user experience.
