Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip to power the Pro model
The anticipated release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC in October, aligns with Xiaomi's potential unveiling of the Xiaomi 15 series smartphones. This has led to speculation that the Redmi K80 series, equipped with the same chip, could be available in November. The rumors suggest that while the Redmi K80 Pro will incorporate this advanced chip, its standard counterpart is likely to utilize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
The devices will feature 2K resolution display
Both the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro are expected to feature a 2K resolution display, following in the footsteps of their predecessors, the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro. However, according to Smart Pikachu, there may not be a successor to the K70E model this year. This is reportedly due to Xiaomi's strategic decision to focus on premium devices within the Redmi K series.
