Xiaomi's Redmi devices have always shined in comparison to competing devices thanks to their remarkable price-to-performance ratio, and the latest Redmi K80 is a good example of this. Recently announced by Xiaomi, the phone's biggest highlight is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip inside, which brings flagship-grade performance to an otherwise midrange smartphone.

Priced starting at around $345 (when converted), the Redmi K80 features a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1440×3200 pixel resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,200 nits of peak brightness. It also comes with Gorilla Glass 7i, something that's not usually seen on a lot of midrange smartphones. The phone's chassis comes with an IP68 rating as well for dust and water resistance.

In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 onboard, there's also up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM, as well as a 6,550 mAh battery with 90W charging support. For software, you're getting Hyper OS 2 in addition to Android 15, and there's a dual-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 20MP selfie camera in front.

With all that said, it should be noted that the Redmi K-series phones rarely make it out of China, although they are rebranded as POCO devices at times for global markets. In any case, the Redmi K80 is undoubtedly a formidable midrange Android phone, especially in terms of hardware.

If you own a Xiaomi 14, then you might want to check your phone for the latest software update, which finally comes with Android 15. New reports indicate that global models of the phone have started receiving the stable version of Android 15, which interestingly still features HyperOS 1.1, in addition to some behind-the-scene changes and tweaks to the UI.

Users in Europe can expect the update to come with software version OS1.1.4.0.VNCEUXM; for other regions, the update comes with version number OS1.1.3.0.VNCMIXM. From the looks of things, HyperOS 2.0 with Android 15 is still exclusive for Chinese markets, although it has since been available for other Xiaomi 14 series models.

Recently, Xiaomi also unveiled the Xiaomi 15, one of the first Android flagships to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip from Qualcomm. It also packs a 6.36-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and comes in a "custom edition" with 20 additional colors. There's also a choice of up to 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage; this entire setup is powered by a 5,400 mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 50W wireless charging speeds.

Back in July, Xiaomi officially launched their new foldable smartphone, the Xiaomi Mix Flip. Unfortunately at the time of the announcement, the handset was pretty much limited to China. The good news is that that is no longer the case as Xiaomi has officially launched the Mix Flip in global markets.

The announcement was made alongside the new Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro smartphones. The Mix Flip will be available in all markets that Xiaomi normally sells their phones in, so if you are in those markets, you can look forward to the handset. It is priced starting at €1300, which isn't cheap by any means, but you'll be getting quite a powerful device.

We're talking about the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which at the moment is pretty much the most powerful chipset available out there. The handset features a 6.86-inch OLED foldable display which is accompanied by a 4-inch cover display. The Mix Flip comes with a dual camera setup that consists of a 50MP main and a 50MP ultrawide, along with a 32MP selfie cam.

The phone also packs a 4,780mAh battery with 67W wired charging, along with your usual connectivity options such as WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. If you've been eyeing this device, then the global launch of the Mix Flip should be news to your ears, so check out your local Xiaomi retailer for details.

Xiaomi recently teased the launch of their next-gen foldable, the Mix Fold 4. But that's not all the company has up their sleeves. In a post on Weibo, Xiaomi has also revealed that they have a new foldable phone in the works, this time in the form of the Xiaomi Mix Flip.

We heard rumors that Xiaomi could be working on a flip phone back in 2023, and sure enough the handset will be announced on the 19th of July in China. Based on what the company has teased so far, it looks like the handset could prove to be a worthy competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

According to the details shared by Xiaomi, the Mix Flip will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. It will feature a vapor chamber for cooling, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.0 storage, and also the use of a 4.01-inch external display that goes up to 1,600 nits in brightness. The external cover of the phone also comes with an earpiece speaker so you can answer calls even when it's folded shut.

It is unclear how big the internal display is, but other details shared by Xiaomi include a 4,780mAh battery. We have to say that we're quite excited by the Mix Flip, so check back with us in the coming days for the details.

While the Android tablet market is dominated mostly by Samsung's offerings, it's only fair to say that a lot of other OEMs have been giving consumers worthwhile choices when it comes to big-screened Android devices. Take for example the Redmi Pad Pro, which is now available for several markets and regions worldwide.

Priced at between $310-320 (when converted), Xiaomi's budget-friendly tablet model takes on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, which currently sits on top of Samsung's midrange tablet lineup. For hardware, the Redmi Pad Pro packs a 12-inch LCD screen with a 2560 x 1600 aspect ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, and is encased in a metal unibody. Powering the device is a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip, with up to 8GB+256GB of RAM and storage.

As for software, the Redmi Pad Pro comes with Hyper OS, which features exclusive built-in Xiaomi apps in addition to third-party software. There are 8-megapixel cameras on both the front and rear, and the tablet runs on a large 10,000 mAh battery. Folks looking to get one for themselves can grab it in three different colors including Graphite Gray, Mint Green, and Ocean Blue.
