The Redmi K70e, K70, and K70 Pro are the three models that make up the Redmi K70 series, which Redmi just unveiled in China. Today was the series’ first sale, and it was a huge success, selling over 600,000 units in little over five minutes.
The K70 series not only broke the historic record of selling more than 600,000 units in the first five minutes of sales during the first sales period, but it also showed remarkable growth by more than doubling the volume of sales of the Redmi K60 series, which was released in December 2022. Redmi’s general manager of marketing, Wang Teng, stated that this achievement definitely sets the highest sales record in the K series’ history.
