    Redmi K70 Pro Unveils Official Design Renders

    Redmi is all set to launch its highly anticipated Redmi K70 series smartphones in China on November 29. While a hands-on video of the Redmi K70e was recently released, it did not reveal the rear design of the device. However, today, Redmi has released official renders of the Redmi K70 Pro, putting an end to any speculation surrounding its design. It is expected that the K70e and K70 will have a similar appearance based on these renders.

    Redmi K70 Pro Design and Color Options

    Redmi has confirmed that the Redmi K70 Pro will be available in black and white color options. There are speculations that the device may also come in blue and purple (or pink) variants. The K70 Pro boasts a narrow design with a width of only 74.9, making it comfortable to hold with a single hand. It features a metal middle frame, with the top edge housing a microphone and an IR blaster. Unfortunately, none of the released images show the bottom design of the device. The left edge appears plain, while the right side is equipped with a volume rocker and a power key.

    Display and Camera Details

    The Redmi K70 Pro will come with a 6.67-inch OLED display that is rumored to support a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. On the rear, the device sports a raised rectangle module that houses three cameras and an LED flash. The official renders confirm that the K70 Pro will have a 50-megapixel primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a telephoto camera that offers 2x optical zoom.

    Powerful Specifications

    The Redmi K70 Pro is already confirmed to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Rumors suggest that the top variant of the phone may offer a whopping 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Additionally, it is expected to pack a 5,120mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. The device will run on HyperOS-based Android 14. While the K70 and K70e models may be released as Poco-branded phones in the global market, the K70 Pro is likely to remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

    Redmi K70 series launch date

    In the upcoming week, several brands are preparing to host launch events in China, including Meizu, Huawei, Realme, and Redmi. The Redmi K70 series is one of the highly anticipated announcements scheduled for next week. The Xiaomi sub-brand has officially confirmed that the Redmi K70 series will be unveiled at 7 pm (local time) on November 29.

    Redmi K70 lineup: What to expect?

    Last year in December, Redmi introduced three models – the Redmi K60e, the Redmi K60, and the Redmi K60 Pro. These devices were powered by the Dimensity 8200-Ultra, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets, respectively.

    For the upcoming Redmi K70 series, the K60 lineup will be succeeded by three models: the Redmi K70e, the Redmi K70, and the Redmi K70 Pro. These devices are expected to feature the Dimensity 8300-Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively.

    Specifications of Redmi K70e

    While the complete details of the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro are yet to be revealed, the specifications of the K70e have already surfaced. The Redmi K70e is expected to come with a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will offer up to 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The device will be powered by a 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging support.

    In terms of optics, the K70e will feature a triple camera setup on the back, consisting of a 64-megapixel main camera with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front, there will be a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The device will have a plastic frame.

    Redmi K70 and K70 Pro: Expected features

    The Redmi K70 and K70 Pro are expected to come with the same-sized 120Hz OLED panels but with higher 2K resolution support. Both models are rumored to feature a 50-megapixel OmniVision camera with OIS support. The devices will have a metallic frame and will support 120W fast charging.

    The Redmi K70 could be equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, while the Pro edition might come with a slightly larger 5,120mAh battery. Both devices will run on Android 14 and HyperOS.

    Global release and rebranding

    It is unlikely that the Redmi K70 series will be released in the global market. Instead, some of these devices may be rebranded as the Poco F6 series models. The F6 and F6 Pro, expected to debut in Q1 2024, could potentially be rebadged versions of the K70e and K70, respectively.

    With the launch event just around the corner, fans are eagerly waiting to get more information about the Redmi K70 series. Stay tuned for updates on pricing and availability details.

    Xiaomi's Redmi K70 Series to Launch with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Chip

    Xiaomi's sub-brand Redmi is gearing up to release its highly anticipated K70 series smartphones by the end of November. As the launch date approaches, more details about the upcoming lineup are surfacing online, including renders and benchmarks. And now, Xiaomi officials have hinted at the use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip for the Redmi K70 family.

    Excitement for Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Chip

    Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi China and General Manager of Redmi, recently took to Weibo to express his admiration for the second-generation Snapdragon 8 processor. Weibing referred to it as the "flagship darling of 2023" due to its exceptional performance and energy efficiency. He also questioned whether the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could "replicate the glory of the Snapdragon 870."

    Lei Jun Echoes Sentiments

    Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, echoed Weibing's sentiments, stating that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is indeed a generation of God U with a good reputation. Although neither executive explicitly mentioned the Redmi K70, the timing of their posts strongly suggests that the smartphone will indeed be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

    Redmi K70 Lineup

    Last month, Redmi officially confirmed that the Redmi K70 series smartphones will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. However, this is likely reserved for the top-of-the-line K70 Pro model. This aligns with Redmi's strategy from the previous K60 series, where the Pro model boasted the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, while the standard K60 opted for the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

    The Redmi K70 series is expected to include three models: the Redmi K70, Redmi K70 Pro, and Redmi K70E. The Redmi K70 Pro will lead the lineup, featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. On the other hand, the Redmi K70, powered by the second-generation Snapdragon 8, will offer similar performance at a more affordable price. Lastly, the Redmi K70E is rumored to be the first smartphone to feature the Dimensity 8300 processor.

    With the launch of the Redmi K70 series just around the corner, Xiaomi fans and smartphone enthusiasts eagerly await the official unveiling of these highly anticipated devices.
