The Redmi K70 series has been a massive hit, with sales surpassing 1 million units in just 14 days. This series includes the Redmi K70e, the Redmi K70, and the Redmi K70 Pro, all of which offer top-of-the-line features at an affordable price.
The most impressive feat for the Redmi K70 series was its performance in the first five minutes of release. The series sold over 600,000 units in that short amount of time, more than double the sales volume of its predecessor, the K60 series. This makes the Redmi K70 series the quickest to surpass one million units in sales.
What makes the Redmi K70 series so special? Well, for starters, it comes with powerful processors such as the Dimensity 8300-Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The devices also boast features like up to a 2K resolution OLED display, a 5,500mAh battery, and up to 120W fast charging. Additionally, they are the first Redmi phones to come preloaded with the latest HyperOS-based Android 14.
The Redmi K70 Pro, priced at approximately $500, offers an impressive 6.67-inch OLED screen with a 1440p resolution, 120 Hz dynamic refresh rate, and 12-bit color output. It is also capable of reaching 4,000 nits of brightness.
What’s even more exciting is that the Redmi K series phones go global under a different name, so the K70 Pro will likely be rebranded as the Poco F6 Pro 5G globally.
Overall, the success of the Redmi K70 series proves that high-quality, feature-packed smartphones don’t have to come with a steep price tag. It’s no wonder that these devices have been flying off the shelves, and they are definitely worth considering for anyone in the market for a new smartphone.
