Xiaomi has quietly added two new phones to its Chinese website, the REDMI R70 5G and R70m 5G, and they look very much aimed at the lower end of the 5G market.

Both models are currently marked as “coming soon,” so they’re not up for sale yet. Still, the listings give a fairly clear idea of what Xiaomi is going for here, large displays, big batteries, and pricing that stays within reach.

The two phones share most of their core specs. Up front, there’s a 6.9-inch LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 720p+ resolution. Not the sharpest, but it should be enough for everyday use like scrolling, messaging, and streaming.

They’re powered by the Unisoc T8300, built on a 6nm process, paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Nothing high-end, but in line with what you’d expect at this price point.

Xiaomi is offering a decent range of configurations. The R70 starts at 4GB + 128GB (1599 yuan) and goes up to 8GB + 256GB, while the R70m skips the base variant and stretches all the way to 12GB + 256GB.

The main difference between the two is the battery. The standard R70 comes with a 6000mAh unit, while the R70m bumps that up slightly to 6300mAh. Charging is capped at 15W.

Camera setup is pretty basic. There’s an 8MP front camera and a single 13MP rear sensor, so clearly not a focus here.

Design-wise, they follow a familiar look and come in a few color options like Feather White, Starry Black, and a couple of blue and purple shades. The phones are on the larger side, but still relatively slim for what they pack. Both models run Hyper OS 3, which is Xiaomi’s software skin based on Android 16.

Overall, these feel like straightforward budget 5G phones. Not trying to do anything fancy, just covering the basics with a bit of extra emphasis on battery life.

It looks like Redmi is planning a new budget series, at least in China. A new Redmi phone from a brand-new “R” lineup has appeared in China Telecom’s product database, revealing its images and specifications. Interestingly, the listing suggests the device could go by either Redmi R70m 5G or simply Redmi R70.

According to the listing, the phone will be available in five memory configurations: 4GB + 128GB, 6GB + 128GB, 6GB + 256GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. Meanwhile, the color options include Starry Night Black, Feather White, Cold Mist Blue, and Feather Purple.

Redmi R70m / R70 Specifications

On the hardware side, the phone features a large 6.9-inch display with a waterdrop notch. The resolution sits at 1600 × 720, which is just HD+.

As for the design, the phone has a flat, right-angled frame, with a 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker grille, and USB-C port on the bottom edge.

Camera hardware also stays on the basic side. There’s an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, paired with a dual-camera setup on the back. The main sensor is 13 megapixels, paired with a secondary 8MP lens.

Internally, the device is powered by a chipset labeled UMS9632. That is an Unisoc platform, which typically shows up in affordable devices rather than performance-focused ones. The phone runs Android 16 out of the box.

The Redmi R70m packs a 6300mAh battery inside a body measuring 171.56 × 79.47 × 8.2mm and weighing around 211.5 grams.

There’s still no official word on pricing or availability. But based on the specifications, the Redmi R70 series looks like another addition to Xiaomi’s growing portfolio of budget 5G phones.
