• An image of the alleged Redmi K80, shared by Wang Xiaoyan, Vice President of Xiaomi Group (via the tipster), shows the phone inside a protective case.
• The image reveals a new round camera island with three sensors instead of the rectangular camera module in the previous model, which had a square arrangement of sensors in the left corner.
• Notably, the design of the Redmi K80 series seems to be inspired by the Xiaomi Civi series, which also features a round camera module on the back.
• However, it is worth noting that the image does not reveal the complete design of the upcoming K-series smartphone. 

Redmi K80 Pro camera details

A post on X reveals that the upcoming Redmi K80 Pro will offer a 50MP OmniVision Light Fusion 800 main camera, a 32MP Samsung S5KKD1 ultra-wide sensor and a 50MP Samsung JN5 2.6x telephoto sensor.

Notably, this would be a slight upgrade from the predecessor as it was launched with a 12MP OmniVision OV13B10 ultrawide camera and a 50MP OmniVision Light Fusion 400 2x telephoto sensor. Meanwhile, the primary camera will be the same.

Additionally, on the front, the Redmi K80 Pro is said to pack a 20MP OmniVision OV32B selfie sensor instead of the 16MP sensor on the predecessor.

Redmi K80 series: what to expect?

Though not confirmed, a recent report suggests the Pro variant will pack the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset on the predecessor. Furthermore, it will be upgraded with a 6,000mAh battery, which is around 1,000mAh more than its predecessor.

While there might be a slight downgrade in the fast charging support with 100W charging from 120W, the company might also include wireless charging. However, we suggest you take these details with a pinch of salt as the company has yet to reveal details regarding the upcoming series.
