Xiaomi today officially launched the Redmi K80 Pro smartphone. Equipped with a full-focal-length flagship triple-camera system, this phone marks a new era for Redmi's imaging capabilities, achieving three "strongest" milestones in Redmi's imaging history: a flagship high-dynamic-range main camera, a flagship-level floating telephoto lens, and a high-pixel ultra-wide-angle lens. Redmi product manager Hu Xinxin detailed the Redmi K80 series' imaging configuration at the launch event, explicitly stating that the Redmi product line will succeed the Xiaomi numbered series, with the K series, as the top-tier lineup, directly competing with the previous Xiaomi numbered series. Starting with the K80, Redmi has implemented comprehensive upgrades in optics, tuning, and algorithms, striving to deliver a premium imaging aesthetic, tuning capabilities, and an upgraded user experience.

The Redmi K80 series' imaging system has a clear objective: to directly compete with the Xiaomi 15. Besides Leica's imaging enhancements (presumably in the Xiaomi 15), the Redmi K80 Pro offers the same level of imaging configuration as the Xiaomi 15 as much as possible. The Redmi K80 Pro and the standard version differ in configuration; the standard version maintains consistency with the Pro version in the main camera and user experience but omits the floating telephoto lens to lower the price and offer more choices.
