Redmi K60 Series Officially Launched In China
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Xiaomi recently announced the Redmi K60 series in China earlier this week, and the three phones share a number of features.

Xiaomi’s Redmi K series has always been the go-to phone brand for people who want flagship specs but are on a budget.

All three devices offer a flat 6.67-inch 3,200 x 1,440 OLED screen, 8MP+2MP secondary rear cameras (ultrawide and macro), Bluetooth 5.3, dual stereo speakers, an IR blaster, and NFC.

Apart from the above similarities, here’s what each phone has to offer.

Starting with the Pro model, you’re getting the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC under the hood. So those who want peak power and ray tracing support should look at this device.

The Redmi K60 Pro also brings a 5,000mAh battery and 120W wired charging. The latter delivers a zero to 100% charging time of 19 minutes, according to Xiaomi.

But perhaps the biggest upgrade we see is the inclusion of wireless charging (30W) for the first time in a Redmi phone. This feature was previously restricted to Mi series of phones.

Flipping the phone to the back you’ll find a 50MP IMX800 main camera (1/1.49-inch, one micron pixel size, OIS) alongside the aforementioned 8MP ultrawide shooter and 2MP macro lens.

At the front you have a a 16MP shooter for selfies. Other notable features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi 6E, and MIUI 14.

The phone is also available with your standard glass back as well as a Champion Performance Edition model that comes with a kevlar-style back.

Like the idea of the Pro device but want something more wallet-friendly? That’s where the Redmi K60 comes in.

It swaps out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset for the still speedy Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC. This chipset also seems to be underclocked compared to the vanilla Plus SoC, running at 3GHz versus the standard chip’s 3.2GHz speeds.

You’re also getting a bigger battery (5,500mAh) as well as 67W wired charging instead of 120W speeds.

Thankfully, 30W wireless charging is still on offer, so you don’t have to splash out on the Pro model if you want to make use of pad-based charging.

Look at the rear camera setup and you’ll find a 64MP main camera (f/1.79, 0.7 micron pixel size, OIS) alongside the budget-tier secondary shooters. Otherwise, a 16MP shooter is available up-front.

Other noteworthy Redmi K60 features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, MIUI 14, and Wi-Fi 6E.

The phone is also available with a glass back or a pleather rear cover (albeit limited to the blue variant seen above).

The Redmi K60E

The Redmi K60E makes a couple of sacrifices to achieve a cheaper price-point than its bigger siblings. For one, there’s a mid-range but still respectable Dimensity 8200 chipset in lieu of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor.

You’re also getting a 5,500mAh battery and 67W wired charging like the standard K60. But it lacks wireless charging.

Switching to photography, you’ve got a 48MP main camera (f/1.79, 0.8 micron pixel size, OIS) alongside the secondary lenses. A 20MP selfie camera is available on the front of the device.

You’re also getting a side fingerprint scanner, MIUI 13, and Wi-Fi 6 on the Redmi K60E.

All in all, the K60E seems like an incremental upgrade over the Redmi K50. The Redmi K50 from last year featured a QHD+ OLED screen, Dimensity 8100 chipset, 5,500mAh battery, and 67W wired charging.

Finally, the Redmi K60E starts at 2,199 yuan (~$316) for the 8GB/128GB variant. The K60 and K60 Pro is available with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, while the K60E tops out at 12GB/512GB.

This is only a Chinese release right now, but we might get the Redmi K60 series as the Poco F5 Pro when it comes to global markets according to MIUI Polska writer Kacper Skrzypek.
