Based on certifications and listings, so far we have been able to spot the Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro models, and the smartphone in the first look image could be either of them. Speaking more about the design, we can find a circular-shaped camera module at the top-left side of the flat rear panel with three circular units for the camera sensors. Just like what we saw in Xiaomi’s latest 15 series devices, this Redmi K80 series device also appears to have its LED flash strip placed outside the camera module in a horizontal manner. To add, the device is featured in a White color.
Now, looking at an older update on Xiaomi’s management changes, we saw that Xinxin Mia, the former Xiaomi Civi Product Manager, was made the new Redmi Product Manager. While looking at the new Redmi K80 series first look image, the upcoming device shows stark resemblance to recent Xiaomi Civi models. It seems that the new Redmi Product Manager has decided on revamping the design language of the upcoming Redmi K80 series from its predecessor, with a new Xiaomi Civi-like design.
In his Weibo post, the tipster also suggested that the Redmi K80 series could debut by the end of this month, in November 2024, and mentions that the brand’s Civi lineup won’t be discontinued. The work of the next Xiaomi Civi smartphone is said to be progressing steadily and the device may hit the market soon.
Both the Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro devices have received the 3C certification from China, and have been listed on the IMEI database. The Redmi K80 Pro as always will remain exclusive to the Chinese market and is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, whereas, the Redmi K80 is believed to be re-branded as the POCO F7 Ultra model for the global market. To add, the 3C listing of the Redmi K80 series smartphones also confirmed the 120W wired fast charging support for the two devices too.
Stay tuned for more future updates.
