Xiaomi launched the Redmi K80 series in November 2024, featuring the Pro version with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. After 100 days, the company reported sales of 3.6 million units, a record for the Redmi K series, including the K80, K80 Pro, and the Special Edition. Upcoming models include the Redmi K80 Ultra with a 6,500 mAh battery and Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and a Redmi K80 Gaming with Snapdragon 8s Elite. Currently, all sales are in China, with international launches expected under Poco branding, likely skipping the vanilla version.
The Redmi K80 series was unveiled by Xiaomi in November 2024, with the Pro variant being among the initial devices featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Today marks a notable celebration for the company, as it has reached a remarkable achievement of 3.6 million units sold in just 100 days since the beginning of the first sale.
This record-breaking sales figure for the Redmi K series encompasses the K80, K80 Pro, and the K80 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse Special Edition (yes, that is the complete name).
Xiaomi is anticipated to expand the lineup with two additional models – the Redmi K80 Ultra, which will feature a 6,500 mAh battery and a Dimensity 9400+ chipset, and a Redmi K80 Gaming equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Elite.
While both chipsets have yet to be officially announced, MediaTek is set to reveal its updated flagship SoC in April, so a launch for the Redmi devices is likely to follow shortly after.
All 3.6 million units were sold within China, as the series has not yet been made available globally. We anticipate that the Redmi K80 phones will be introduced internationally as Poco F7 devices, and it appears Xiaomi may forgo the standard variant.
