Xiaomi Redmi K80 Series Surpasses 1 Million Units Sold, Turbo Series Flagship with 7000mAh Battery Imminent

The Xiaomi Redmi K80 series, officially launched on November 27th, achieved immediate success, surpassing one million units sold within just ten days a new record for the K series. This achievement reflects the significant improvements in hardware, software experience, and innovative features offered by the K80 series.

The Redmi K80 series comprises two models: the K80 and the K80 Pro. The K80 features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the K80 Pro boasts the even more powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. Both models utilize a custom M9 luminous material 2K screen, support ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, and offer IP68 dust and water resistance, ensuring a superior visual experience and reliable protection. They run on the vibrant and personalized Pengpai OS 2.

However, the most striking feature of the Redmi K80 series is its innovative "Starry Off-Grid Communication" functionality. Officially claimed to support "industry-first kilometer-level off-grid calls," it enables two-way communication within a 3.5-kilometer radius even without network connectivity, boasting seven layers of signal penetration. This achievement highlights Redmi's continuous technological breakthroughs and innovation.

In the second Q&A session regarding the K80 series, Redmi addressed user inquiries comparing the off-grid call distance with the Xiaomi 15. The official response clarified that off-grid communication capabilities are continuously evolving. The K80 Pro underwent end-side functional optimization and deep chip-level collaboration with Qualcomm, resulting in software and hardware synergy. This enhanced the off-grid call capability to 6 kilometers (under ideal outdoor conditions). A 3.5-kilometer version is currently being rolled out, with the 6-kilometer version expected by the end of December.

Beyond the K80 series' success, Redmi is actively preparing for its next major launch. A new Xiaomi device, model number 24129RT7CC, recently received 3C certification. Combined with recent videos and information released by Redmi General Manager Wang Teng, Redmi is expected to launch a new phone called "Xiaoxuanfeng" (Little Cyclone) this month, strongly suggesting it's the highly anticipated Redmi Turbo 4.

Wang Teng previously revealed that Redmi's product line has been undergoing adjustments since the beginning of the year. The new K series targets the champion flagship segment, particularly the Pro version aiming for an all-around flagship experience. The price point will be higher to fill the market gap left by the price increase of the Xiaomi numbered series. The Turbo series will occupy the 2000-3000 yuan price range. This implies the Redmi Turbo 4 will likely be priced between 2000 and 3000 yuan.

Digital blogger @Digital Chat Station recently leaked specifications of a new phone: "A super-large battery exceeding 6500mAh, a 1.5K LTPS narrow-bezel eye-protection straight screen, a slim glass body with a plastic frame, a short-focus optical fingerprint sensor, a simple 50MP dual-camera setup in the top-left corner, and a high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 8 series platform." While the model wasn't specified, all signs point to the Redmi Turbo 4.

According to the leak, the Redmi Turbo 4 will feature a battery exceeding 6500mAh, a 1.5K LTPS narrow-bezel eye-protection straight screen, a slim glass body with a plastic frame, and a short-focus optical fingerprint sensor. The camera will be a simple dual-camera system in the top-left corner, with a 50MP main sensor. Performance will be powered by a high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 8 series platform, likely the Dimensity 8400. This chip uses a Cortex-A725 large-core architecture with a CPU frequency exceeding 3GHz and integrates the same GPU IP (Immortalis-G925 MC12) as the Dimensity 9400.

@Digital Chat Station also revealed that Redmi will launch a phone with a 7000mAh battery next year. This indicates that Redmi will not only release the Redmi Turbo 4 at the end of this year but also a flagship with even stronger battery life next year, generating considerable anticipation.

In summary, Redmi has demonstrated strong product competitiveness in the second half of this year. From the K80 series' sales exceeding one million to the upcoming Turbo 4 and the planned future 7000mAh battery flagship, Redmi consistently innovates and strives to offer high-value, high-performance smartphones. Its continuous technological investment and accurate understanding of user needs have secured a favorable position in the fiercely competitive mobile phone market, laying a solid foundation for future development. The success of the Redmi K80 series, and the imminent Redmi Turbo 4 and future 7000mAh flagship, will further solidify Redmi's market position and bring more surprises to consumers.
