The Xiaomi K series is beloved and well-known among gamers. The latest addition to the K series are three smartphones: Redmi K70 Pro, Redmi K70 and Redmi K70E. These are successors of the K60 series. Even though the Hype isn’t that high anymore for this series compared to the earlier K20 or even the K50 series. K60 phones were still rocking the market fairly enough. But now, we are seeing a downfall despite the fact that Xiaomi included the latest Android 14, their newest HyperOS with the latest flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The lower-priced K70E includes a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Ultra chipset which is also very strong for its cost. So, what has gone wrong?
Design
This kind of flat factory design for gaming phones does not work anymore. Users want a proper gaming vibe if it’s a gaming phone. Take Asus Rog Phones or even the Xiaomi Black Shark devices. These come with custom gaming design. So, basically, you gotta give it all. The K70 series phones look like some of the body parts were lying in the backyard and Xiaomi put it together to release some new phones which aren’t cheap in any way. They look dull and as if no effort was made to make them look nice. A big no go. Look at some true gaming phone designs below.
Camera
Yes, it’s common for more performance oriented smartphones at a lower price to compromise on the camera quality. But this has also changed lately. Take the Vivo IQOO Neo8 series phones, for example. We see fairly nice cameras at a much lower budget. Yes, those phones give a bit of a color boost etc. and Xiaomi is providing a bit more details, natural colors. There is also a telephoto lens for the Pro model. Still, at this moment, with this pricing, the camera quality is not satisfactory. The front camera quality isn’t acceptable at all. The design of the back camera module is also a big turnoff. Xiaomi, get innovative, put some effort as a return for the love of your millions of fans, including us.
Others
It’s just a very regular smartphone without any special features. Look at the Motorola phones, for example. They are backed with features such as additional mobile security, Moto Connect / Ready For (desktop experience), Family Space and so on. This is just one brand. Every brand tried to add something new or interesting to add value. But we don’t see anything here.
Yes, the screen and sound quality are impressive. But then there is no water resistance or any kind of high-grade material or protection in the body. It’s just too flat and unexciting. We don’t expect this kind of release from a leading brand like Xiaomi. Better don’t release anything or take some time and present something that will wow the fans.
