The Redmi event today included the announcement of the K70e, K70, and K70 Pro smartphones. Among these, the best one also got a special edition in collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse.
To celebrate 10 years in the smartphone world, Redmi has teamed up with the racing division of Lamborghini to create the Redmi K70 Pro Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse Edition. It just rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it?
The difference between this fancy variant and the regular K70 Pro comes down to three things, and the design is definitely the more obvious one. The camera island is not a rectangle, but an inverted convex pentagon. The shape is a reference to Lamborghini’s sharp lines, but the rest of the panel is still plastic. The two-tone green or yellow colors and the carbon design are simply a sticker under the protective panel.
On the software side, this limited edition will feature a custom Lamborghini Squadra Corse theme, part of the HyperOS interface. The car in the background of promotional images is the Essenza SCV12 – a track-only hypercar with a V12 engine – and we assume it features in the theme as well.
You should know that this is not your typical Lamborghini design, like one particular Oppo Find X smartphone from over five years ago.

This customized Redmi K70 Pro is the same on the inside as the regular one – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, and 120W charging for the 5,000mAh battery.
The final difference is that the device will only be offered with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The price is yet to be announced, and we assume this variant will never come out of China.
