Xiaomi fans have a lot to look forward to in coming months as REDMI brand general manager Wang Teng and product manager Hu Xinxin revealed a series of fascinating new products during the “Let’s talk about the story behind REDMI K80’s sales performance” live show.
The Chinese giant plans to release a new smartphone next month with ultra-high performance, high-end quality, and longer-lasting batteries that appeal to youthful consumers. This follows news about the K80 Ultra version, which will come earlier than last year’s version, and the soon-to-be-released Civi series, which has been described as a “balanced small flagship” with huge upgrades. The fans of the brand can also expect a new tablet, and the YU7 is already in road testing, while the K90 will receive huge camera upgrades.
Next Month’s New Ultra-Performance Phone
The new REDMI smartphone has been advertised as a “product with ultra-high performance, high quality and long battery life” that appeals to younger buyers. While official details have been limited, industry insiders have surmised that it could be the REDMI Turbo 4 Pro.
According to rumors, the REDMI Turbo 4 Pro may feature:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Elite processor
- 6.8-inch display with 1.5K resolution
- Colossal 7500 mAh battery
- Sleek and slender design with slim bezels and metal right-angle mid-frame
- Dual-camera setup vertically at the back
It aims to deliver performance-oriented experience that younger consumers have come to expect from REDMI while maintaining brand value focus.
Civi Series: The Balanced Small Flagship
The new Civi series smartphone, apparently to be the Civi 5 Pro, will be a “well-balanced small flagship” and feature massive upgrades compared to a predecessor. The highly anticipated smartphone will feature high-end features and a refined design.
Expected specifications include:
- 6.55-inch curved screen with a resolution of 1.5K
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Elite chip
- Triple-camera system from Leica with a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with OIS optical stabilization
- Dual front camera for improved selfies and video calls
- 5500mAh with support for fast charging at 90W
- High-end metal frame design combining lightweight feel with premium look and feel
One of the largest limitations in the previous Civi 4 Pro model has been overcome by the addition of optical image stabilization, and it’s a huge upgrade for photographers.
