Redmi K70 Pro review: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and a WQHD flat panel at a price that embarrassed flagships.
The value flagship that set the bar.
K70 Pro delivered a full Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a flat WQHD 120 Hz panel, IP68 and 120 W charging at $430 — a price that made mainstream flagships look overpriced and forced rivals to respond. The missing periscope is the only real gap. It remains a benchmark for what a value flagship can be.
