Xiaomi’s Redmi K80 series is apparently on its way to release as it has now passed the CQC certification body. The documentation doesn’t reveal much, but does indicate that, at least for now, there will be three devices in the lineup: the K80, K80 Pro, and K80E.
The Redmi K80 and K80 Pro, model numbers 24127RK2CC and 24122RKC7C respectively, will both support 120W charging, while the Redmi K80E, model number 24117RK2CC will be capable of 90W charging.

That’s pretty much what we know semi-officially about the K80 family for now. Apart from that, leaks have suggested that the K80 series will come with price increases, and the Pro’s price 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 (Snapdragon 8 Elite) and a 6,000 mAh battery.
If you’ve read this far, you’re wondering why you’ve never heard of the Redmi K series. That’s because it is 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.
