Redmi K70E is expected to launch in China soon as a successor to the company’s Redmi K60E. The Redmi K70 series, said to succeed the Redmi K60 lineup, was earlier reported to be unveiled later this year. Similar to the preceding series, the upcoming Redmi K70 lineup is also expected to arrive with three models. The Redmi K70E will likely launch alongside Redmi K70 and L70 Pro. Leaked details about the upcoming base Redmi K70 model recently surfaced online. Now, the company has teased several specifications of the Redmi K70E.
Redmi confirmed on Weibo that the Redmi K70E will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra SoC. It also revealed that the phone scored 1,526,328 points on AnTuTu. The company also claim that after almost an hour of “open-world” at 25°C, the phone was running at 58.86 frames per second (FPS).
The Redmi K70E will also have a 1.5K display with a peak brightness level of 1,800nits and a high-frequency PWM dimming rate of 1,920Hz. The company also confirmed that the phone will ship with Xiaomi HyperOS. The smartphone will also come with a 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging. It is expected to measure 8.05mm in thickness. One of the series of posts shared on Weibo has the hashtag “K70 series will be unlocked for you this month” (translated from Chinese), suggesting the lineup could be launched later in November.
Meanwhile, a leaked performance test video of the Redmi K70E shows the front panel design of the upcoming handset. It is seen with very slim side and top bezels alongside a slightly broader chin and a flat display. Notably, the middle frame also adopts a flat design. It represents a unified design aesthetic, which is expected to be consistent across the Redmi K70 series.
Another leaked hands-on video of the Redmi K70E tipped several key specifications of the upcoming handset. The phone is said to come with a 6.67-inch 1.5K (2,712 x 1,220 pixels) OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a colour depth of 12-bit, a manual peak brightness level of 500 nits, and a theoretical peak brightness of 1200 nits.

Redmi K70 could be inching towards its launch as its renders have surfaced online providing the first apparent glimpse at the design. The leaked renders suggest a white colour option for the smartphone and it is seen with a hole punch cutout on the display. The screen appears to have slightly thick bezels as well. In the leaked images, the handset is seen with a triple rear camera unit alongside an LED flash. The Redmi K70 could succeed the Redmi K60 that went official in December last year.
Tipster Anvin (@ZionsAnvin) has posted renders showing the purported Redmi K70 in a white shade. We see a different rear camera bump on the new handset compared to the Redmi K60. Three sensors alongside the LED flash are seen arranged in four individual square-shaped modules on the rectangular-shaped camera island. In the older model, three cameras were arranged in a line. On the front of the phone, we can see a centrally placed hole-punch cutout for housing the selfie shooter and a flat display. The display is seen with slim bezels.

Further, the Redmi K70 appears to have a power button and the volume rocker on the left spine. The power button also looks like it could double as a fingerprint sensor.
The Redmi K60 series was launched in global markets outside China as Poco F5. It is, therefore, believed that the Redmi K70 could be renamed as the Poco F6 when it eventually arrives in Europe, India, and other markets. However, Xiaomi has not officially shared any details about the Redmi K70 series yet. Therefore these details can be taken with a pinch of salt.
Redmi K60 was launched with a price tag of CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 30,000) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model. It features a 6.67-inch 2K (1,440×3,200 pixels) AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate and runs on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It has a 64-megapixel triple rear camera setup. It is backed by a 5,500mAh battery with support for 67W wired fast charging and 30W wireless fast charging support.
