The new decade of REDMI is officially opened, and its LOGO has also been upgraded from the previous “Redmi” to “REDMI”, and all capitalized letters can also show the comprehensive and powerful heart. As the first product of the new decade, REDMI K80 series brings a “Grand Slam” flagship configuration, so what kind of surprises can it bring us? I believe this REDMI K80 Pro will give you a satisfactory answer.
New “New Life” Design Language
REDMI K80 Pro adopts a brand new design language, officially called “Leap World New Life”. The new “Light Mist Duplex Process” divides the back cover of the camera body into two with a “skyline”, and the lens module called “Eye of the Storm” is embedded on the upper glossy glass, while the lower part adopts the AG frosted glass, which brings a matte texture and a very silky feel to the touch. The lower part is made of AG frosted glass, which gives it a matte texture and a very silky touch.
In terms of color, the REDMI K80 Pro is available in “Night Black”, “Snow Rock White” and “Mountain Green”. The highlight of the “Snow Rock White” color on our hands is the AG frosted glass on the lower part of the back cover, which presents a flowing texture with depth of field under chip-level lithography, as if it is on top of a glacier, with a full degree of recognition.
The metal frame on the side is also matte, which not only brings a better hand feeling, but is also less prone to fingerprints, which is worthy of praise. In terms of details, the top of the REDMI K80 Pro's body is also designed without holes, making the whole machine more simple.
To the front, REDMI K80 Pro is equipped with a 6.67-inch 2K screen with a resolution of 3200x1440, using Huaxing's new M9 emitting material, the measured manual maximum brightness of 650nit, the global excitation of brightness to 1930nit, the performance is still very good.
The most important thing is that the screen of REDMI K80 Pro is also equipped with Xiaomi Qingshan Eye Protection 2.0, which not only supports full brightness DC dimming, but also has circular polarized light technology, so the performance of more eye protection can also make you feel more at ease to use. In addition, the REDMI K80 Pro is also equipped with ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, which is more ergonomic and much more accurate than traditional optical fingerprints, which is also worthy of praise.
Rampant performance
REDMI K80 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition mobile platform, which is very familiar to all of us. It adopts TSMC's second-generation 3nm process, and consists of 2 Prime cores and 6 performance cores, of which 2 Prime cores can reach a maximum main frequency of 4.32GHz, which delivers more powerful performance output.
The highlight is the upgraded Rampage Engine 4.0, which can fully utilize the performance of Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition with the support of AI Performance Scheduler and Graphics Rendering Efficiency Core. “Rampage Engine 4.0 also intelligently utilizes the operational efficiency of each performance module, allowing us to play heavy-duty games while consuming record low power.
In the actual game test, REDMI K80 Pro in the Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition's powerful performance output, whether it is the original God, the Star Dome Railroad or the “Jedi Zone Zero”, have a good frame rate performance, here directly put out the frame rate graphs, will not expand the details.

Most importantly, with the REDMI K80 Pro's “Rampage Engine 4.0”, the power consumption of all three games above can be maintained at a modest level at nearly full frame. The average power consumption of ProtoGod is only 4.3W, the higher loaded Star Dome Railroad is also controlled at 5.4W, and Jedi Zone Zero only consumes 4W. It can be said that the tuning of “Rampage Engine 4.0” is still good, and the lower power consumption can also reduce the heat generation, and the endurance is also more durable.
In addition, REDMI K80 Pro is also equipped with a D1 exclusive display chip, using 12nm process technology, to realize all the games of the super score and super frame with the same open, smoother and clearer picture can let you more immersed in the game. The addition of “Gaming Dark Mode” is also very useful for dim scenes such as the cave in “Proto-God”, as the brighter image allows you to see better and reduces eyestrain, killing two birds with one stone.
“Grand Slam” experience
In addition to its appearance and performance, the REDMI K80 Pro's image is also very worthy of mention, equipped with a 50-megapixel Light Hunter 800 main camera + 32-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens + 50-megapixel periscopic telephoto lens. And inspired by axial gravity, these three lenses are placed in a specific 'orbit' to form an equilateral triangle, creating a more balanced aesthetic.
As beautiful as it looks, the REDMI K80 Pro also performs very well in real life, with images tending to be more natural in color and reproducing what the naked eye sees.

This telephoto lens has a large aperture of F2.0 and OIS optical stabilization, bringing 2.5X optical zoom and 5X lossless zoom, details can still be clearly rendered. It also supports macro shooting up to 10cm, so it's no problem to take close-ups of flowers.

Gaming and photography consume a lot of power, so the REDMI K80 Pro is equipped with a 6000mAh Silicon Carbon Negative Battery. Measured power consumption of 4% for half an hour of 1080P video playback, 4% for half an hour of Weibo browsing, 4% for half an hour of Jitterbug browsing, 8% for half an hour of Harajuku, 11% for half an hour of Star Iron, and 8% for half an hour of Jedi Zero, which is a relatively good performance in the same class of models.
Charging, REDMI K80 Pro supports 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. Under wired charging, it took 5 minutes to charge 26% of the power, less than 15 minutes to charge 50%, and 33 minutes to charge to 100%. Combining the excellent charging performance with the power consumption above, the REDMI K80 Pro can really ease battery life anxiety.
Conclusion
REDMI K80 Pro has a brand new design, the new “Leap World New Life” design makes the phone more recognizable, but also brings a more comfortable grip; Snapdragon 8 Supreme Edition + “Berserk Engine 4.0” two-pronged, bringing a nearly full-frame gaming experience, the power consumption can be further reduced; image and battery life REDMI K80 Pro can also give you a pleasant surprise.
In short, REDMI K80 Pro continues the excellent performance experience, brings more texture design, and more powerful battery life configuration and comparable to the flagship image performance, allows you to feel the smooth game at the same time, provides a more comprehensive use of the experience, but also really worthy of the name of “Grand Slam”.
