A leak from blogger @Digital Chat Station published on IT Home on March 6 shed light on the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi K80 series smartphones. Although official details remain secret, the leak offers clues about what to expect from the next generation of these popular devices.
Information indicates that these devices will be released at the end of 2024.
The leak shows that Xiaomi is currently developing two new models in the K series: Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro. Although no specific launch date is specified, the information points to a release towards the end of 2024, potentially coinciding with the launch of next-generation Snapdragon processors.
While the leak suggests that it is a departure from the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found on the Redmi K70, there are hints of a significant change in processing power. Instead, Xiaomi may equip the K80 series with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or even Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, depending on their availability by the end of the year.
The leak also highlights that Xiaomi is focusing on two key areas: battery life and design. There are rumors about the possibility of “ultra-large capacity, high-density silicon anode batteries”, suggesting an improvement on the Redmi K70’s 5,000mAh capacity. The design of the K80 series is expected to retain the familiar elements of the K70, including the 2K display, metal middle frame and glass body.
It should be noted that this information is based on a leak, not an official confirmation from Xiaomi. While this gives an idea of ​​the potential direction Xiaomi could take with the K80 series, official details regarding specifications, features, and release dates may vary.
