It is time for all flagship smartphones featuring Snapdragon 8 Elite to come to the foray one by one. We have seen the launch of Honor Magic 7 Pro and OnePlus 13 with the elite chipset in the recent post. Xiaomi is now gearing up to unveil the Redmi K80 series in China.
The series includes two models, the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro.
The K80 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and is expected to arrive in the international market as the rebranded Poco F7 Ultra later.
Recently, K80 Pro has not only appeared on benchmarks but we have also got to know some key details about the smartphone including its pricing. Here’s everything known about the K80 Pro model.
Popular tipster Digital Chat Station recently revealed some Redmi K80 Pro performance test results on Weibo. The phone has also been spotted on Geekbench 6 and 3DMark tests.
On Geekbench 6, the device achieved a single-core score of 3050 and a multi-core score of 9216, placing it among the top-performing Android smartphones.
In 3DMark’s Steel Nomad Light test, it scored 2441 highlighting its strength in graphics performance.
The phone scored a remarkable 3,194,766 on AnTuTu.
When it comes to real-world gaming, the K80 Pro doesn’t disappoint. It delivers smooth, peak FPS on games like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Honor of Kings while maintaining efficient power usage and avoiding frame drops.
This aligns with findings from Dave2D’s recent tests of Snapdragon 8 Elite devices, which demonstrated throttle-free gameplay even at max settings.
The phone pairs the Snapdragon 8 Elite with a D1 chip and Gaming Engine 4.0 for advanced 2K resolution and 120fps gaming.
Its 2K CSOT M9 flat display supports a peak brightness of 1800 nits, offers hardware-level DC dimming, and features AON Intelligent Eye Protection for reduced eye strain.
The screen also uses 20.3% less power making it as practical as it is visually impressive.
While not much is known about the exact specs and features of the K80 Pro, reports have revealed certain details.
Camera enthusiasts can look forward to a versatile setup that includes a 20MP front camera for selfies and three rear cameras including a 50MP main sensor, a 32MP ultra-wide lens and another 50MP sensor for portraits.
The smartphone is a massive 6000mAh battery with 120W fast charging.
Design-wise, the K80 Pro features a sleek build with ultra-narrow 1.9mm bottom bezels, a balanced 50:50 golden weight distribution, and Xiaomi’s Dragon Crystal Glass 2.0 for durability.
It is Redmi’s first phone with a seamless top design and includes an advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that works with wet hands.
The phone also offers IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.
Redmi’s president Thomas Wang recently revealed on Weibo that the K80 Pro could launch at around CNY 4,000 (approximately $552 or INR 46,574) in China. This is a notable jump from the Redmi K70 Pro’s CNY 3,299 (about $455 or INR 38,390) launch price.
While the increase is significant, Wang emphasised that the higher price is justified claiming the K80 Pro offers “the most versatile battery specs for its segment” alongside top-tier performance.
With all the available details, we can expect the Redmi K80 Pro to be a true flagship contender thanks to its cutting-edge features, exceptional benchmarks and a justified price bump.
