Redmi is stepping things up again with not one but two new devices expected to launch very soon in China — the high-end Redmi K80 Ultra smartphone and the all-new Redmi K Pad tablet. Both are packed with premium hardware, and Redmi’s General Manager Thomas Wang has already shared some key details that give us a good idea of what to expect.
Redmi K80 Ultra confirmed with Dimensity 9400+
The Redmi K80 Ultra will be the top model in the K80 series and is now officially confirmed to feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chipset. This chip is built for flagship phones, with high speeds, great power efficiency, and strong AI performance — making the K80 Ultra a serious performer.
Other details about the phone are still under wraps, but the Redmi K80 Ultra specs are expected to align with other premium phones in 2025 — including fast charging, high refresh rate OLED display, and top-tier cooling.
This phone is likely to compete directly with the likes of the OnePlus Ace 4 Pro and Realme GT Neo6 Ultra, especially in the Chinese market.
Redmi K Pad: Compact but Flagship-Level Tablet
What’s exciting is that Redmi K Pad isn’t just a sidekick to the K80 Ultra — it’s being positioned as a compact Android tablet with true flagship performance. And even though it uses an LCD screen, Redmi says this panel is so advanced that its quality and cost match those of top-end OLEDs.
Here’s a breakdown of the confirmed and expected Redmi K Pad specs:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Display | 8.8-inch IPS LCD, “3K+” resolution, 165Hz refresh rate |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ |
| Charging | Expected 67W fast charging |
| Audio & Build | Custom lightweight speakers, vibration motors |
| Internal Design | Advanced stacked layout for better cooling/performance |
| Software | Expected HyperOS based on Android 14 |
| Price (China) | Around CNY 4,000 (~$557 USD) |
According to Thomas Wang, the K Pad also uses dual IC drivers to deliver better screen responsiveness — something that matters a lot for gaming and fast-scrolling apps. Redmi also redesigned key parts like the screen structure, speaker system, and vibration unit to make the device lighter and more efficient.
This isn’t just a recycled design with a new name — it’s a fully custom tablet that’s clearly aiming to stand out among Android tablets in 2025.
Launch Date and Price
While Redmi hasn’t announced the exact K80 Ultra launch date or K Pad release date, both devices are expected to debut together before the end of June 2025 in China.
Here’s what we know so far:
| Region | Redmi K Pad Price (Approx) |
|---|---|
| China | CNY 4,000 ($557) |
There’s no official global launch confirmed yet, but considering Redmi’s recent patterns, international versions or rebranded models (under POCO or Xiaomi) could follow later this year.
Final Thoughts
Redmi is clearly serious about pushing boundaries again. With the Redmi K80 Ultra using the powerful Dimensity 9400+ chip, and the K Pad offering a 3K+ LCD screen with features rivaling OLED tablets, both products are aimed at users who want top performance without going all the way to ultra-premium prices.
These devices aren’t just more of the same — they reflect Redmi’s growing focus on premium hardware in more accessible price ranges.
