Xiaomi Redmi K70, K70 Pro now official: flagship Snapdragon SoCs, 2K OLED displays

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi unveils the newest K70 Series—the vanilla Redmi K70, and K70 Pro. Both phones feature 2K OLED displays with ‘instantaneous’ touch sampling rate at 2160Hz.

Powering these devices are Snapdragon SoCs—Snapdragon 8 Gen2 on the vanilla and Snapdragon 8 Gen3 on the Pro. And both run on the new HyperOS based on Android 14 out of the box.

What sets apart the Pro is its camera setup boasting 50-megapixel main, 50-megapixel telephoto, and 12-megapixel ultrawide. That’s a better setup than the base model’s 50MP + 8MP ultrawide + 2MP depth lenses.
