Xiaomi is apparently planning on launching the upcoming Redmi K70 with top-notch hardware. The base model of the popular K series will be receiving an upgrade to solidify its status as a ‘vanilla flagship’ device.
Redmi K70 Specifications
The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the information on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). The tipster claims that the base K70 model will be equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Furthermore, this is the same chip that powers the Redmi K60 Pro model. Although, this isn’t exactly surprising since the Redmi K60 also featured a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which was an improvement over the Dimensity 8100 found in the vanilla K50 model before it.
On the other hand, an earlier report claimed that the K70 Pro model will feature the next-gen flagship chipset from Qualcomm. This processor will likely be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Digital Chat Station claims that the Redmi K70 and K70 Pro models will be launching in China sometime around the end of this year. This is probably the case since the K60 lineup had also launched in December last year.
However, this also means that the announcement will be held in December of this year, while the smartphones will go on sale early next year. The Redmi K70 series will likely take on other affordable flagship smartphones from rival brands like iQOO and Realme.
