Redmi is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated K80 Pro flagship smartphone on November 27. In the lead-up to the launch, Xiaomi's sub-brand has been actively teasing key specifications that have mobile photography enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. Notably, the K80 Pro will be the first model in the Redmi series to feature a telephoto lens, complete with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).

Innovative Camera Setup

The highlight of the K80 Pro's camera configuration will be its dual 50 MP sensors. The primary camera utilizes Sony's LYT-800 sensor, which promises to deliver stunning image quality, bolstered by OIS for better stability in shots. The addition of a telephoto lens—a first for the Redmi K series—marks a significant step up in capturing distant subjects with clarity, and it includes a unique “floating” lens design that allows users to shoot close-up photos from just 10 cm away.

An ultra-wide-angle camera will also be part of the mix, featuring a 32 MP sensor capable of capturing expansive 120-degree views, further enhancing the device's versatility. This is a substantial improvement over the previous ultra-wide cameras found in earlier Redmi K models.

Real-World Testing Samples

To showcase these impressive camera capabilities, Redmi shared sample images captured with the telephoto lens on its Weibo profile. One standout example captures a spider situated just 10 cm from the camera lens, demonstrating the potential for exceptional macro photography.

Power-Packed Specifications

Beyond its camera prowess, the Redmi K80 Pro packs a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, coupled with a robust 6,000 mAh battery, promising both speed and longevity. As we await the device's official debut in China, there’s speculation about whether it will make an international release under its original name or be marketed globally as a Poco variant.
