Upon their launch, the phones managed to sell 660,000 within just 24 hours, and subsequently hit 10 million sales at the ten-day mark.

Additionally, it’s reported that Xiaomi is planning to add two more models to the K80 lineup with the K80 Ultra, which is rumored to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip inside, and a gaming phone which will supposedly feature the Snapdragon 8s Elite chip.
