Redmi K80 Ultra: A Gaming Powerhouse
Positioned between the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro, the Redmi K80 Ultra is designed for both gamers and power users. It sports a vibrant 6.83-inch OLED display with a sharp 1280p+ resolution and a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the K80 Ultra is powered by MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9400+ chipset and can be configured with up to 16GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of internal storage. It runs Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2, based on Android 15, and boasts IP68 certification for water and dust resistance.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 50MP main camera featuring the OV Light Fusion 800 sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens. Audio is enhanced with dual AAC 1115 coaxial stereo speakers paired with an X-axis linear vibration motor, delivering immersive sound and haptic feedback.
The massive 7,410mAh silicon carbon battery supports 100W wired charging and bypass charging, ensuring long gaming sessions without interruptions.
