Xiaomi launched its flagship phones, the 15 and 15 Pro, just last month. Now, the company's value-oriented sub-brand, Redmi, has also launched its flagship offering. The new phones come with top-tier flagship chips and a design overhaul. This article will discuss the Redmi K80 in further detail, including its expected price in Nepal.

Redmi K80 Overview

Design and Display

The Redmi K80 looks quite different from its predecessor, with an updated circular camera island. The phone has 2.5D curved edges and a dual-tone finish. It is also IP68-rated against ingress and water exposure. It ships in Snowy Rocks, Black Mountains, Green Tide, and Blue Moon at Night colour options. On the front, the phone has a 6.67-inch OLED screen jointly developed by Redmi and TCL Huaxing. It stretches 2K in resolution, refreshes at a rate of up to 120Hz, and achieves a peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Likewise, it offers a standard and instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 480Hz and 2,560Hz respectively. Furthermore, you get full-range DC dimming, 12-bit colour depth, P3 wide colour gamut and wet hand touch support. Redmi has also layered the K80 screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for added protection.

Performance

The Chinese tech giant has opted for last year's Qualcomm flagship processor for the primary performance duties. Meanwhile, the Redmi K80 comes in various combinations of up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. The phone packs a large heat dissipation unit and a bunch of in-house chips that boost various performance aspects such as signal reception, battery management, and charging. Talking of the battery, the Redmi K80 packs a 6,550 mAh cell with 90W charging wired support. The phone sadly does not support wireless charging.
