Redmi K70 debuts in China to arrive as POCO F6 Pro globally
Xiaomi has released the latest premium devices under its Redmi sub-brand. Three devices were launched under the Redmi K70 series. They include Redmi K70, Redmi K70 Pro, and Redmi K70e, all with a similar design.
The Redmi K70 features the latest Xiaomi design language of a flat screen and boxy metal frame. It’s a glass design with a metal frame to give the device a premium look and feel.
Redmi K70 has a 6.67-inch TCL C8 OLED display. It’s a 2K panel and supports up to 4000nits of brightness while refreshing at up to 120hz. The screen supports 3840Hz PWM high-frequency dimming, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision.
Under the hood, Xiaomi prefers the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It’s paired with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4 storage. The device has a 5000mm2 heat dissipation system aboard. Outside-of-the box, the device runs Android 14 based on HyperOS 1.0.
For optics, Xiaomi has turned to a primary 50MP 1/1.55-inch sensor with OIS. It’s paired with an 8MP Ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP macro shooter. The front camera is a single 16MP lens for selfies and video calls.
Power is drawn from a 5000mAh battery with support for 120W charging. It will take 18 minutes to charge the device from 0%. If you are worried about battery life, Xiaomi has equipped the phone with a standalone P2 charging chip and a G1 battery management chip to improve battery life and power management.
Other features of the device include an under-screen fingerprint sensor, NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, Dual nano-SIM slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

When will the Redmi K70 arrive on the Global Market?
