Redmi is launching the K80 Pro on November 27 and today we learned more details about the phone. The brand shared key specs on its Weibo profile, including Qualcomm’s new flagship chipset, a massive battery and an IP68 + IP69 rating.
The arrival of Redmi K80 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Elite comes as no surprise as company officials have already teased the phone as extremely fast and powerful. It will also have a D1 chip that controls the screen to try and increase the frame rate and resolution in certain apps and games.
The phone is shaping up to be a true flagship and will have a 3D cooling solution, which is likely a huge vapor chamber. It will also be extremely durable – ingress protection is one thing, but it will have extra strong glass on top of the QHD screen.
Xiaomi’s 6,000mAh battery in the Redmi K80 Pro will mark the first time a cell with such a capacity has reached the Redmi K series. The phone will support 120W wired charging and will see the return of 50W wireless charging; the feature was introduced to the series with the Redmi K60Pro but was later omitted from the K70 family.
