Redmi’s flagship K line will be refreshed in the coming weeks, and today we have some scattered information about it from various sources. Firstly, Redmi’s Wang Teng teases the fact that the Redmi K80 series have been “greatly upgraded” not only in terms of performance, but also in another area that he has not yet revealed. In this area of mystery, the K80 devices will be better than many devices from competing brands that will be the first to hit the market.
He also refers to the release date of the K80 family by saying that people who want to switch phones at the end of the year will have to wait for Redmi’s new flagships.
Redmi K70 Pro
According to prolific Chinese leakster Digital Chat Station, the price of the Redmi K80 series will increase, and the price of the Pro will increase the most. That’s not great news, but on the other hand, he also revealed that the top model of the K80 line will use Qualcomm’s next flagship chipset (increasingly called Snapdragon 8 Elite), a 6,000 mAh battery and a 100 W. fast wired charging. So perhaps many people will find the price increases worthwhile.
If you’ve read this far and are wondering why you’ve never heard of the Redmi K series, it’s because it’s only sold under this name in China. Internationally, devices in this line are often rebranded as part of the Poco F series, and the news of price increases certainly does not bode well for the next Poco F models.
