Redmi has recently announced its most anticipated flagship phone, Redmi K80 Series in China. The smartphones come with the cutting edge hardware at a not so expensive price. As of now the phone is currently available for sale in China, where it’s already breaking records in its first sale.
Today, Mr. Wang Teng Thomos, the general manager of the Redmi brand has officially announced the sales data of Redmi K80 Series first sale. In its first sale the dual flagship series sold 660k units in a single day. If we compare this to the previous generation Redmi K70 Series which contains three phones and achieved the same figure in three days of sale.
The most prominent reason for this massive success of K80 Series is some of the first in the segment features which phones brought like IP68/69, metal frame, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and 2K display, all this in a single device makes it very attractive to the consumers. The Redmi K series represents the pinnacle of Redmi phones. In recent years K series has become very popular among consumers in China for those who don’t want to spend much on premium flagships but want to experience almost similar experiences.
Global Launch
Redmi K80 Series will be launched globally next year but with different branding. The phones will be introduced under Poco branding, the Poco F7 Series. The current launch timeline is unclear, but we can expect it to be in Q2, 2025.
