Xiaomi recently launched its newest foldables — Mix Fold 4 and Mix Flip. They also launched a fitness band and earbuds alongside the phones. In this article, we will look into the Xiaomi Mi Band 9 while also estimating its price in Nepal.
Xiaomi Mi Band 9 Overview
Design and Display
The Xiaomi Mi Band 9 comes in the standard pill shape that we associate with fitness bands. The housing frame on this thing is made out of aluminium alloy and ships in four different colours. It ships in Black, Silver, Blue, and Rose Gold options with a similar coloured TPU strap by default. However, you can swap it out for a plethora of different options including a leather one, a steel one, or even a pendant one. Meanwhile, there is a special edition of the Xiaomi Mi Band 9 as well, which for the first time comes in a ceramic housing. Regardless of housing choice, the watch boasts a 5ATM water resistance.
On the front, you are looking at a pill-shaped AMOLED screen that measures 1.62 inches diagonally. Furthermore, it has a resolution of 192 x 490 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate. Likewise, the screen on the Xiaomi Mi Band 9 can reach a brightness of 1,200 nits and auto-adjust the brightness depending on the lighting condition.

While the Redmi K80 series is apparently in the works, the company has topped its current flagship series with an Ultra variant. This is the fourth entry to the series after the Redmi K70E, K70 and K70 Pro. Let’s take a look at the Redmi K70 Ultra in further detail, including its expected price in Nepal.
Redmi K70 Ultra Overview
Design and Display
The Redmi K70 Ultra has flat frames which is made out of metal. This is the first time in product history that metal has been used for the frames. In the meantime, the back panel has a glass layering and is curved near the edges. So, this gives the phone a semi-curved finish overall. It has an IP68 rating and is available in three colours: Ice (Blue), Ice Snow, and Mo Yu (Black). There is a “Champion Edition” of the phone too, which comes as a result of the partnership between Redmi and Lamborghini. This edition takes its design cues from the Essenza SCV12 sports car.
On the front, the phone dons another collaborative unit in the form of the C8+ display, which is co-developed by Xiaomi and TCL Huaxing. This screen stretches 6.67 inches diagonally on the Redmi K70 Ultra and offers 1.5K resolution, a peak brightness of 4,000 nits, a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, and a touch sampling rate of up to 480Hz. Additionally, it is also capable of an instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 2,160Hz and PWM dimming of 3,840Hz. The screen is protected by Xiaomi Longjing Glass which has grown 35% harder than the glass used on Redmi K60 Ultra.
Performance
The performance on the Redmi K70 Ultra is being led by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset. This processor is so powerful that it overtakes the base Dimensity 9300 by over 15% in the AnTuTu score. The vanilla model previously held the top position in terms of AnTuTu score. Both processors have a similar internal architecture, however, the “+” model has a higher peak clock speed of 3.4GHz compared to the 3.25GHz on the base variant. This processor also comes with MediaTek NPU 790 to handle on-device AI like when taking notes, videos, etc.
Talking of configurations, this phone is available in five different options. Those being 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB, 16GB + 1TB, and 24GB + 1TB. The latter is only available for the Champion Edition while the regular model can have any of the remaining four memory and storage combo. Furthermore, the Redmi K70 Ultra houses a 5,000 m2 vapour chamber cooling system to keep things cool and smoothly running. Software-wise, it boots on in-house Xiaomi HyperOS.
Dedicated Chips
The phone also has a bunch of other dedicated chips. The highlighting one among them is the D1 chip, which is basically like the discrete graphics card we see on laptops. This chip comes with a 12nm fabrication and takes the computing load off the primary processor. This allows the Redmi K70 Ultra to maintain high frame rates, image quality and brightness during heavy gaming sessions.
There are Surge P2 and G1 chips as well which handle fast charging and battery management respectively. Likewise, the Redmi K70 Pro is equipped with Xiaomi Pengpai T1 that boosts its signal reception. As per the company, this chip boosts the phone’s WiFi and Bluetooth performance by 12% and GPS accuracy by 20%.
As the Redmi K70 Ultra is a performance-heavy phone, the cameras on this thing aren’t a primary focus. However, it does have a 50MP primary shooter with the Sony IMX906 sensor backing it up. The auxiliary lenses on this thing aren’t anything to marvel at though. It comes with a respectable 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP macro lens which is more or less, just a filler. On the front, it has a 20MP portrait camera for selfies and facial recognition.
In the tank, it has a large 5,500 mAh battery with 120W charging support. It supports two SIM cards, both of which can operate on 5G. Additional wireless connectivity on this thing includes WiFi 7, Bluetooth v5.4 with high-res codecs, NFC, and six-way navigation with up to four frequency support. Lastly, it also has an optical fingerprint sensor sitting under the screen and a stereo speaker setup.
Redmi K70 Ultra Specifications
Design: Flat metal frames, curved glass back panel, IP68-rated
Dimensions: 160.38 mm x 75.14 mm x 8.39 mm
Weight: 211 grams, 212 grams (Champion Edition)
Display: 6.67” C8+ Panel, up to 144Hz refresh rate, 4,000 nits peak brightness, up to 480Hz touch sampling rate, up to 2,160Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, 3,840Hz PWM dimming, 12-bit (68.7 billion) colour depth, P3 colour gamut, Xiaomi Longjing glass protection
This phone was announced on 19 July 2024 in China and starts at CNY 2,599. The K-series phones have not made it outside their motherland for a long time now, and it seems the case will remain unchanged for this one as well. Given that, the likeliness of this phone arriving in Nepal is next to none. However, if it does arrive here by any chance, we expect the Redmi K70 Ultra price in Nepal to start at NPR 57,499.
