The Redmi K70 Extreme Edition is the latest addition to today’s big Xiaomi event, topping a series that began in late 2023.
The performance-oriented device is powered by a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ with either 12GB, 16GB, or 24GB of physical RAM. The high-revving processor inside can boost its performance Cortex-X4 core all the way up to 3.4GHz.
The Dimensity 9300+ is joined by a dedicated D1 discrete graphics chip. It’s a 12nm display chip that supports 3x interpolation up to “1.5K resolution” (read: 1080p) to drive 144Hz content. The chip is said to reduce power consumption while gaming by nearly 15%.
Then there is the special 3D cooling chamber, which can lower the temperature by 3°.
The Redmi K70 Extreme Edition’s body is held by a metal frame, while Xiaomi has made use of its Longjing glass for the front and back for the first time. The K70 Extreme Edition is also IP68-rated.
The phone is built around a 6.67-inch 2712x1220px 144Hz OLED display with 1,600 nits of nominal brightness and 4,000 nits of peak brightness. It has a 480Hz regular touch sampling rate and 2160Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate. Finally, the panel has 3840Hz PWM dimming.

On the back, there’s a Sony-made IMX906 50MP 1/1.56″ main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle and a 2MP macro shooter. On the front, there’s a 20MP selfie camera.
The K70 Extreme Edition is powered by a 5,500mAh battery with 120W charging support. A Xiaomi Pengpai P2 chip monitors charging, while a G1 chip monitors battery health.
