Redmi K70E debuts as a budget-friendly model with a trimmed processor and camera setup
The Xiaomi company has introduced the Redmi K70E, a member of the Redmi K70 family that stands out from its siblings with a less powerful processor and a slightly simpler camera array. This model is aimed at users who want solid performance without reaching into the top-tier price brackets on release.
The Redmi K70E features a large 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and a PWM dimming frequency of 1920Hz for comfortable viewing in various lighting conditions. The screen can reach high peak brightness, enabling better visibility under bright ambient light. A fingerprint sensor sits beneath the display, providing convenient security without sacrificing screen real estate.
In photography, the main camera is a 64-megapixel sensor equipped with optical image stabilization to help stabilize shots in tricky lighting. It is complemented by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide module and a 2-megapixel depth or macro sensor, offering a versatile photography setup for everyday use and creative experimentation.
Performance comes from a newly designed 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset, paired with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage. This combination delivers responsive multitasking and quick app launches, while preserving efficiency for longer battery life during day-to-day use.
Powering the device is a 5,500 mAh battery supporting 90W fast charging, enabling rapid replenishment of energy. The Redmi K70E also includes stereo speakers for richer media playback and an NFC module for contactless payments and easy pairing with other devices.
Availability is announced as a China-first release, with a launch date on December 1 and a starting price of 1999 yuan, roughly equivalent to 24,700 rubles at current exchange rates. There is no confirmation of a global or regional release beyond China at this time.
Earlier in the same lineup, Xiaomi introduced flagship models such as the Redmi K70 and the K70 Pro, which boasted some of the brightest displays available on the market and positioned themselves as premium options within the family.
