Xiaomi Redmi K70 Pro

The Xiaomi Redmi K70 Pro boasts an impressive design with a sleek glass back, frosted finish, and metallic frame. The phone's 6.67-inch OLED display offers a 2K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 5394 nits maximum brightness. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, providing exceptional performance with up to 2,127 points in single-core and 6,779 points in multi-core benchmarks. The camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor, 50MP telephoto lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens. The phone's battery is capable of charging from 0-100% in just 22 minutes, thanks to the 5,000mAh capacity and fast charging technology. In terms of performance, the Redmi K70 Pro delivers outstanding results, with PUBG Mobile running smoothly at 90FPS in HDR mode.

The device also features a large metal frame, thinner display bezels, and improved texture compared to its predecessors. While it may not have any standout or distinct feature, the Redmi K70 Pro is a versatile phone that checks most boxes without any significant disadvantages. Priced around £367 in the UK (starting at 3,299 CNY), the Redmi K70 Pro offers an impressive package for its price point, making it a compelling option for those seeking high-performance and feature-rich Android smartphones.
