Redmi K70 Series Launched in China with up to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC

Xiaomi’s subbrand Redmi has officially unveiled the Redmi K70 series in China comprised of the K70 Pro, K70, and K70E.

The K70 and K70 Pro are more similar to each other with flagship chipsets and 50MP main cameras. Meanwhile, the K70E is the most affordable device of the latest Redmi K series with overall toned-down specs of its siblings.

All three, though, feature a P2 charging chip and a G1 battery management chip which help improve battery life and power management.

We start with the Redmi K70 Pro which is built around a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED panel and a peak brightness of 4000 nits. Moreover, Xiaomi developed an AI algorithm that is capable of offering upscaling for selected video game titles and apps.

The Pro variant is headlined by a 50MP main sensor with OIS. This is accompanied by a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and a 12MP ultrawide snapper. There’s also a 16MP camera in front for selfies.

As the top-specced variant of the series, it is equipped with the latest flagship chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with up to 24GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage.

It also boasts 120W fast charging that is said to top up the 5000mAh battery cell in just 18 minutes.
