Redmi K70 Series Discontinued?
Xiaomi officially launched its Redmi K70 series in the Chinese market last year in November 2023 with the Redmi K70, Redmi K70 Pro, and Redmi K70e models, and the Redmi K70 Ultra later joined the series as the fourth device this year in July 2024. [The Redmi K70 and Redmi K70e also got released globally re-branded as POCO F6 Pro and POCO X6 Pro respectively.]
Following its debut in China, the series was a huge success, becoming the sales champion in the CNY 2000 ~ CNY 3000 price segment, and this is suggested to be the reason why the Redmi K70 series devices have completed its sales cycle earlier than expected.
As mentioned, the update has been officially shared via the Xiaomi official – Wang Teng, and his Weibo post mentions that the next Redmi K80 series will be even stronger and competitive than its predecessors, and are on their way. To add, apart from the Redmi K70, Redmi K70 Pro, and Redmi K70e smartphones, the Redmi K70 Ultra is the only Redmi sub-flagship available as of now, and it is being recommended for consumers who are in immediate need of a Redmi sub-flagship.
As is already known, this time’s Redmi K80 series will only consist of two models – the Redmi K80 and Redmi K80 Pro, expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chips respectively, and is said to compete directly with iQOO’s Neo 10 series smartphones – iQOO Neo 10 and iQOO Neo 10 Pro. Along with other sub-flagships, the latest Redmi K80 series is also likely going to debut by the end of this month, in November 2024.
Stay tuned for more updates.
