The Redmi K70 Extreme Edition is the latest arrival from today’s major Xiaomi event. It comes to sit at the top of a series that started back in late 2023.
The performance-focused device packs a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ with 12 GB, 16 GB, or 24 GB of physical RAM. The high-revving processor inside can ramp up its performance Cortex-X4 core all the way up to 3.4GHz.
Accompanying the Dimensity 9300+ is a special discrete graphics D1 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 during gaming by nearly 15%.
Then there’s the special 3D cooling chamber, which can reduce temperature by 3°.
The body of the Redmi K70 Extreme Edition is held by a metal frame, while Xiaomi used its Longjing glass for the first time for the front and back. 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.

Powering the K70 Extreme Edition is a 5,500mAh battery with 120W charging support. A Xiaomi Pengpai P2 chip monitors charging, while a G1 chip safeguards the battery health.
