[Correction] Xiaomi’s Redmi K80 and Redmi Turbo 4 Smartphones Launch Time Frames and Resolutions Tipped by Chinese Tipster
Correction: In our previous report, we mentioned that the Redmi K80 and Redmi Turbo 4 smartphones would be priced at CNY 2K and CNY 1.5K respectively. It seems that the tipster has pointed out the screen resolutions of the two devices, rather than the pricing.

At this point, everything that are being shared are speculations and within a week’s time, we’ll be able to bring a clarity to it with the Redmi K80 series debut scheduled on the 27th of November 2024.
The rest of the report follows below.
Xiaomi, the Chinese consumer electronics maker, is said to unveil many of its new Redmi-branded smartphones soon and it seems that the launch time frames and price points of two of the upcoming Redmi devices have been tipped online.
Here’s more about it.
