Redmi K70 series

At MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 launch event, the sight of Zeng Xuezhong, the Senior Vice President of Xiaomi Group and the President of the Mobile Phone Department, holding a mysterious smartphone caught the attention of many. It is speculated that the mysterious phone in his hand could be a Redmi K70-series smartphone.

In terms of design, the alleged Redmi K70 series phone can be seen sporting a punch-hole display. The screen is flat with narrow bezels and offers a high screen-to-body ratio. Unfortunately, the rear design of the phone has not been disclosed. During the MediaTek event, Xuezhong expressed Xiaomi’s commitment to deepening its collaboration with MediaTek and celebrated the launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor. However, none of the leaks have claimed that there will be a Redmi K70 series phone with a D9300 chip.

According to reports, the Redmi K70 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, whereas the Redmi K70 Pro will have the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. It is speculated that the lineup will include a third model named the Redmi K70e, which may feature a MediaTek chip.

Reportedly, MediaTek is working on the Dimensity 8300 chipset, a successor to the Dimensity 8200 that powered Redmi K60e last year. The upcoming Redmi K70e could likely be equipped with the Dimensity 8300. Hence, there is a possibility that the device teased by Xuezhong could be the K70e.

A recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station hinted that the Redmi K70 series will debut this month. He also said that the K70 lineup stands out primarily due to its exceptional design and screen quality. He is of the view that the K70 series has no competitors in its category. Notably, the primary competing products are slated for release in the coming year.
