Here's What We Know

Both phones have a 6.67-inch 2K screen with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and larger batteries: 6,000 mAh for the K80 and 6,550 mAh for the K80 Pro. Despite the larger battery, the K80 Pro supports 90W wired charging, which is less than its predecessors (120W).

The K80 Pro's cameras include a 50 MP telephoto lens with 2.5x zoom and a 32 MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The standard K80 has a 50 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera. Both phones weigh almost as much as their predecessors, thanks to the new Si/C battery technology. One of the K80 models is expected to be released in the global market under the name POCO F7 Pro.
