While we may associate Redmi with lower-end devices, over in China the brand has been churning out ‘flagship killers’ year after year in the K series – we just don’t ever see them launch internationally. Well, actually we do, sometimes, but as members of the Poco F series, not Redmi devices.<\/p>\n
And so, let’s turn our attention towards the upcoming Redmi K80 Pro. This model will be the successor to the K70 Pro<\/a> that launched in China last November. This device is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, and boast a “2K” resolution screen, as well as a 5,500 mAh battery with support for 120W fast wired charging.<\/p>\n It’s rumored to also sport an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, as well as a 3x telephoto camera, up from 2x on the K70 Pro. A report from March claimed the Xiaomi 15 series and the OnePlus 13<\/a> would also switch to ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, which can be faster and more reliable than their optical counterparts.<\/p>\n According to the tipster posting this info on Weibo, the Redmi K80 Pro will be “like a flagship”, but that might impact its pricing – in fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if a price hike is involved, compared to its predecessor’s launch price.<\/p>\n![\"Redmi](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/06\/redmi-k80-pro-details-leak\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/)
