Rumors suggest Xiaomi aims to be the first to launch phones with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip in their premium Xiaomi 15 series, likely arriving in October. But here’s the exciting news for Redmi fans: whispers indicate a Redmi K80 series launch in November, potentially featuring the same 8 Gen 4 chip at a more competitive price point.
Leaks from Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu suggest the Redmi K80 Pro will boast the flagship 8 Gen 4 processor, while the standard K80 might utilize the current-gen 8 Gen 3. Both models are rumored to retain the K70 series’ 2K resolution display.
Interestingly, the K80E, a more budget-oriented option in previous generations, might be absent this year. This could signify Xiaomi’s focus on premiumizing the Redmi K lineup.
While details are scarce beyond these rumors, stay tuned for further updates as we inch closer to the potential November launch.
