Redmi is reportedly planning to launch the Redmi K70e, Redmi K70, and Redmi K70 Pro by the end of this year. These devices are said to be equipped with the Dimensity 8300, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets, respectively. In a recent Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed (via. TechGoing) a few new details about the K70.
It can be said based on DCS’ Weibo post
that the Redmi K70 Pro will be almost a premium device featuring a metallic
middle frame, promising better durability than its predecessor. The leak also
suggests that the K70 Pro could be the first-ever Redmi K-series phone to
feature a telephoto camera. It seems that the telephoto snapper supports 3x
optical zoom.
Reports have claimed that the 23117RK66C,
2311DRK48C, and 23113RKC6C model names belong to the Redmi K70e, K70, and K70
Pro, respectively. DCS previously claimed that the K70 Pro (23113RKC6C) will
have the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 onboard, but its recent Geekbench listing
revealed that it has a Dimensity 9200+ chip.
Commenting on the tipster, Kacper Skrzypek
said that the listing has a minor issue. On Geekbench, the 23113RKC6C Redmi
phone is labelled “Corot,” a designation already associated with the Redmi K60
Ultra (23078RKD5C). The tipster claims that the device’s model has likely been
faked, as there is no indication of a newer model within the ROM. This doesn’t
necessarily rule out the launch of 23113RKC6C, but he is skeptical that the
23113RKC6C device is truly “Corot.”
As per other reports, the Redmi K70 Pro
will have a flat display that offers a 2K resolution and possibly a 120Hz
refresh rate. Under the hood, it may feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, up to
24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, and a 5,120mAh battery with 120W
fast charging. It may come with MIUI 14-based Android 13 and an in-screen
fingerprint scanner. The K70 Pro may get rebranded as the Poco F6 Pro in the
global market.
