Xiaomi is likely to soon announce the Redmi K80 series, which will include the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro smartphones. However, a listing on the benchmarking platform has now hinted that the K80 Pro will run Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon processor which will be launched in early December. As per the whiffs from the social handles, the leaked specifications of both models, still, seemed equipped with a powerful chipset even in the base variant by default which will unsurprisingly be the Redmi K80.

Redmi K80 Series to Feature 2K 120Hz OLED Display, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and Advanced Camera Setup
This week, the Redmi K80 Pro was also discovered through China’s 3C certification platform with several model numbers: 24122RKC7C, 24127RK2CC, and 24127RK2CC. A variant of the same has now been spotted on Geekbench, with model number 24122RKC7C. It is likely to be driven by the octa-core chipset based on ARMv8 architecture, it can have five performance cores of 3.53GHz and three prime cores of 4.32GHz.
While the actual name of that chipset isn’t confirmed just yet, the clock speeds lean towards it being Snapdragon 8 Elite which was announced at last month’s Snapdragon Summit. The SoC is likely combined with around 14.76GB of RAM and the motherboard is codenamed as “Sun.” It scored 2,753 points in single-core performance but managed to score 8,460 points in multi-core performance on Geekbench 6.3.0 for Android AArch64 cross-platform benchmark tests.
Now, new details of the Redmi K80 series have been leaked on Weibo by tipster Experience More (via Gizmochina). The base Redmi K80 is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a 2K Huaxing LTPS flat display, and a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP Omnivision OV50 main sensor, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro lens. The front camera is rumored to be a 20MP Omnivision OV20B sensor. The device may include a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging support.
The Redmi K80 Pro is said to have a 2K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to have a similar primary camera as the base model, but with added 32MP ultrawide and 50MP telephoto ISOCELL JN5 sensors, offering 2.6x optical zoom. The K80 Pro may be powered by a 6,000mAh battery supporting 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both models are expected to feature an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
