Third-party reviews

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi K70E (16GB + 1TB)

  • Powerful performance, especially for gaming, due to the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra chipset and ample RAM (up to 16GB).
  • Excellent 6.67-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, good color accuracy, and high peak brightness (1800 nits).
  • Long battery life from the large 5500mAh capacity.
  • Very fast 90W wired charging, which can charge the phone from 0 to 100% in a short time.
  • Good value for money, often described as a 'budget beast' or 'king of value'.
  • Improved camera capabilities compared to previous generations, with the main 64MP sensor featuring OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).
  • Smooth user experience with HyperOS, with users noting fast app switching and no performance lag.
  • Inclusion of features like NFC, X-axis linear motor, and stereo speakers.
  • High build quality and a sleek, minimalist design that feels good in the hand.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi K70E (16GB + 1TB)

  • The phone typically comes with a Chinese ROM, which can have untranslated elements and requires installing Google Play from the native app store, leading to some software quirks and difficulty with widgets.
  • Lack of a headphone jack and no expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
  • Difficulty finding third-party accessories like high-quality cases and screen protectors due to its non-global release status.
  • Camera performance is considered alright but not top-of-the-line, with software processing sometimes being a weak link.
  • Potential for OLED screen burn-in issues after prolonged use.
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
  • The glossy back cover is prone to attracting fingerprints and smudges.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi K70E, in its high-end 16GB RAM and 1TB storage configuration, is a performance-focused mid-ranger featuring a Mediatek Dimensity 8300-Ultra chipset and a vibrant 6.67-inch 1.5K OLED 120Hz display. Key strengths include its large 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, the exceptional performance-to-price ratio offered by the Dimensity 8300-Ultra, and UFS 4.0 storage for quick file access. A notable drawback is its less capable camera system compared to higher-priced models, consisting of a 64MP main sensor alongside 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro lenses.
