The Redmi K80 Ultra comes with a 6.83-inch flat OLED display, offering a 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of 3200 nits. It also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and features Xiaomi’s Shield Glass for protection, along with TÜV and S++ visual comfort certifications.
At its core is the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, paired with the Immortalis-G925 GPU. With an AnTuTu score of over 3.24 million, it’s the highest-performing phone with this chip. Xiaomi has also included its new D2 AI Display Chip for features like frame interpolation and game upscaling.
To keep things cool, it uses a large 6500mm² IceLoop vapor chamber with a layered structure and Redmi’s 4th-gen Fury Engine for better performance management.
The phone runs on HyperOS 2 based on Android 15, featuring deep system optimisations and AI enhancements.
On the back, there’s a 50MP Light Hunter 800 main camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. A 20MP front camera handles selfies and 1080p video at 60fps, while the rear can record up to 8K.
Battery life is impressive too, thanks to a 7410mAh high-density battery with 100W fast charging and Bypass Charging Plus, which helps reduce heat during extended use. Xiaomi claims up to 2.26 days of typical use.
Other highlights include dual stereo speakers, an upgraded haptic motor, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an IR blaster, IP68/IP69 rating, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
