Redmi’s flagship K series will be renewed in the coming weeks. So far, some information about the series has been leaked from various sources. First of all, Redmi manager Wang Teng stated that the K80 series has received major upgrades not only in terms of performance but also in another area that has not yet been announced. In this mysterious area, K80 models will surpass devices from many competing brands that will be released.
Wang Teng also gave clues about the release date of the K80 family, implying that those who want to change phones at the end of the year should wait for Redmi’s new flagships.
According to famous Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station, the Redmi K80 series will come with price increases. Especially there will be a big increase in the price of the Pro model. While this might not seem like good news, the top model of the K80 series will reportedly come with Qualcomm’s new flagship chipset (likely to be called Snapdragon 8 Elite), a 6,000mAh battery, and support for 100W fast wired charging. Therefore, for many people, these price increases are likely to pay off.
If you haven’t heard of the Redmi K Series before, it’s because this series is sold under this name only in China. In the international market, devices in this series are often rebranded under the name Poco F series. Therefore, news of price increases may not bode well for the next models of the Poco F series.
Redmi K80 series may open to the world with a different name
While it is stated that the features of the Redmi K80 series have been significantly improved, this is expected to be reflected in the prices. According to information leaked by Digital Chat Station, the price of the Pro model will especially increase. However, high-end features such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, large battery capacity and fast charging support may make these price increases acceptable to users.
Redmi K series, which is specific to the Chinese market, is offered for sale under the name Poco F series in the international market. Rumors about price increases indicate that prices may also increase for Poco F models.
