Redmi Teases High-Performance K80 Ultra and K Pad Tablet Ahead of Launch Event

Redmi is gearing up to shake up the performance smartphone and tablet market in China with two new flagship devices on the horizon: the Redmi K80 Ultra and the K Pad. While no official date has been pinned down, the brand is expected to unveil both products later this month and the specs already have fans paying close attention.

Redmi Teases High-Performance K80 Ultra


Let’s start with the Redmi K80 Ultra. Positioned to compete directly with the likes of the iQOO Neo 10 Pro+ and the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra, this device is shaping up to be a serious powerhouse. At its core is the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip, paired with a robust 7,400mAh battery and blazing-fast 120W charging. That’s a big battery and with that kind of charging speed, users probably won’t be left waiting long to get back to full power.

Redmi’s marketing lead in China, Wang Teng Thomas, didn’t hold back in hyping the phone. He called it the most “luxurious performer” in its price bracket roughly 3,000 Yuan, or about $420. He’s also promised noticeable improvements in several areas: display quality, audio, haptics, and overall design. One small but interesting detail? The fingerprint scanner is said to work even with greasy fingers an everyday frustration finally getting some attention. That points to an ultrasonic sensor, which is a nice touch.

Then there’s the K Pad, which marks Redmi’s first real stab at a flagship tablet. It’s being billed as a direct competitor to gaming-focused devices like the Lenovo Legion Y700 (Gen 4) and Red Magic’s Gaming Tablet 3 Pro not to mention Apple’s iPad Mini. The K Pad features an 8.8-inch 3K LCD panel with a 165Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Under the hood, it’s powered by the same Dimensity 9400+ chip, making it the brand’s most capable tablet yet. It also supports 67W fast charging and bypass charging useful for longer gaming sessions.

Whether or not Xiaomi’s upcoming Mix Flip 2 will join the stage alongside these two new devices is still up in the air. Either way, Redmi seems ready to throw down the gauntlet in the mid-range performance segment. We’ll find out soon if it delivers.

Nothing Phone 3 Set for July 1 Launch, Major Design Shift Sparks Buzz

The next chapter in Nothing’s smartphone journey is almost here. The London-based tech company, led by Carl Pei, has announced that the Nothing Phone 3 will officially launch on July 1 in India and other global markets. And while the official debut is still a few weeks away, a fresh teaser has already stirred up conversation — and controversy — among fans. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the company offered a sneak peek at the Phone 3's rear design with the phrase “ultra-precise engineering.” The teaser shows a partial view of the back panel — featuring a new dual-tone finish and some distinct etchings. But here’s the real shocker: the iconic Glyph interface is gone. Yes, you read that right. Nothing is moving away from the glowing LED pattern that made its phones instantly recognizable. This design change has caught many off guard, considering the Glyph lights had become a signature feature since the brand’s debut. For those unfamiliar, the Glyph interface was more than ...

Vivo Prepping Sleek New Y-Series Phone for India, May Feature Curved AMOLED Display Under ₹15,000

After rolling out the Vivo Y19 5G in India just last month, the company seems to be quietly working on another addition to its Y-series lineup. While the official name hasn’t been confirmed yet, early leaks hint at a new budget-friendly phone that could make a splash—especially with a curved AMOLED display, a feature that’s still pretty rare in this price range. According to a report from 91mobiles, which cites unnamed industry insiders, Vivo is planning to introduce a new Y-series smartphone that may claim the title of the slimmest device with a 3D curved AMOLED screen under ₹15,000. If that turns out to be true, it’s a bold move that could give the brand an edge in India’s increasingly competitive mid-range segment. A few design details have started to emerge. The phone is rumored to come in three colours: festive gold, freestyle white, and nebula purple. The freestyle white version, interestingly, might sport a distinctive rear panel pattern. The device is also tipped to be just 7.4...
