Redmi K80 series snags CQC certification with three models in the lineup

Xiaomi's Redmi K80 series is apparently inching towards a release, as it has now passed through the CQC certification authority. The documentation doesn't reveal much, but it does hint that, at least for now, there will be three devices in the lineup: the K80, K80 Pro and K80E.

The Redmi K80 and K80 Pro, model numbers 24127RK2CC and 24122RKC7C, respectively, will both support 120W charging, while the Redmi K80E, model number 24117RK2CC will be capable of 90W charging.

That's pretty much what we semi-officially know about the K80 family for now. Other than that, leaks have suggested that the K80 series will come with price hikes, and the Pro's price will rise the most. That's not great news, but on the other hand he also revealed that the K80 line's top model will use Qualcomm's next flagship chipset (Snapdragon 8 Elite) and a 6,000 mAh battery.

If you've read this far, you're wondering why you've never heard of the Redmi K series before. It's because it's only sold in China under this name. Internationally, devices in this line often get rebranded as part of the Poco F series, and the news regarding price hikes certainly doesn't bode well for the next Poco F models.
