The Redmi K80 made waves with its large 6,550mAh battery, but its successor, the K90, is rumored to pack an even larger power source. Renowned leaker Digital Chat Station claims that Redmi has secured approximately 7,000mAh batteries for its next-generation smartphones, including the K90.
This move aligns with a growing trend of larger batteries in Android smartphones, with brands like OnePlus also expected to make similar upgrades in 2025.
While the K90's battery is generating buzz, other competitors are also stepping up their game. There are rumors that a successor to Realme's GT6 might feature a 2K+ LTPS display with an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner sourced from Samsung.
Meanwhile, the Redmi K80 series, launched in China in November 2024, has reportedly sold over one million units, mirroring the success of Xiaomi's flagship 15 series. This strong performance could indicate a global release for the K80, potentially as a successor to the Poco F6 Pro on platforms like Amazon in 2025.
