Redmi K80 series comes with Champion Edition

Redmi The K80 series is expected to be launched in China in November. A source named Smart Pikachu on Weibo revealed that the entire Redmi K80 series has been tested with a 2K display. The previous model, Redmi K70 Pro, came with a screen with 2K (1440 x 3200) resolution, 4000 nits maximum brightness, and HDR10 + and Dolby Vision support. It also provided eye protection with TUV Rheinland certification. The screen of the new K80 series is designed to be slightly curved, which is reminiscent of the mid-range Redmi Note series.

The K80 series will also offer a Premium Champion Edition. As with previous models, this series will also feature a co-brand model. For example, the Redmi K70 Pro Champion Edition was developed in collaboration with Redmi and Lamborghini. For this reason, it is thought that there may be a Champion Edition model in the K80 series, developed jointly with Lamborghini.

Last year’s Redmi K70 Pro Champion Edition model was sold for around $1200 and had a different design than the Pro model. According to previous rumors, the Redmi K80 series will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. While the K80 Pro will use the upcoming Snapdragon flagship, the base model will be powered by the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The phone will offer a 5500 mAh battery and 120W fast charging support.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be introduced at the Snapdragon Technology Summit in October 2024. This new flagship chipset will be produced with TSMC’s second generation 3nm process. Unlike Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 8 Gen 4 will use Qualcomm’s self-developed Nuvia Phoenix architecture. Compared to ARM architecture, Nuvia Phoenix architecture is superior in terms of performance. This chipset will also be the company’s first 5G SoC developed entirely by itself. The Redmi K80 series is expected to attract great attention in the market with its innovative display technology, powerful chipsets and special versions. Users are looking forward to this new series.
