Redmi‘s general manager and spokesperson Wang Teng Thomas today announced that the Redmi K70E will get a limited time discount of 200 Yuan (~$28) starting tonight at 20:00 in China. After the discount, you can get the 12GB+256GB version for only 1799 Yuan (~$249). The 12GB+512GB and the 16GB+1TB variants comes at 1999 Yuan and 2399 Yuan respectively.
You get the new HyperOS running on Dimensity 8300 Ultra
The Redmi K70E runs on Android 14-based HyperOS 1.0 and is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 8300-Ultra, that offers up to 20% higher CPU performance and 60% higher GPU performance than its predecessor. It also offers up to 30% higher power efficiency at peak performance. The phone also equips a 5000mm² stainless steel vapor cooling chamber to help make the demanding situations sustainable. And as a result, it achieves a score of over 1.52 million in AnTuTu.
You will be looking at a 6.67″ 1.5K flat AMOLED with significantly thin borders and a peak brightness of 1800 nits. It also comes with a 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, so if you are one of the people who face eye fatigue with a flickering screen, this phone won’t bother.
Speaking of cameras, this device equips a 64MP OmniVision OV64B main camera with OIS. There’s an additional 8MP wide-angle lens (OmniVision OV08D10). You can leave about the third 2MP one.
To power the chip, the phone comes with a reasonable 5500 mAh battery and supports 90W charging. It is reported that this model retains 90% of the battery capacity after 1000 charge cycles. For those unfamiliar, a charge cycle means using the full capacity of the battery and then recharging it to 100%. That means if you use charge the phone once a day from 0-100%, theoretically it will continue to serve that way for the next 3 years and will still have 90% of the 5500 mAh capacity left.
Speaking of the in-hand feel, this phone comes with flat sides, is 8.1mm thick, and more importantly, weighs under 200 grams (198g).
