As expected, at a launch event in China, Xiaomi-backed Redmi announced several new products, including the latest Redmi K-series smartphones under the new Redmi K60 lineup. The company has announced three models — Redmi K60, K60 Pro, and K60 E.
The top-end model in the lineup, Redmi K60 Pro, features a 6.67-inch 2K AMOLED flat screen with a peak brightness of 1400 nits, a 120Hz refresh rate, support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 1920Hz PWM high-frequency dimming.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The phone’s back panel has a triple-camera setup that includes a 50MP Sony IMX800 sensor with Cyberfocus 2.0 technology, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro camera.
On the other hand, the Redmi K60 comes with the same display specs as the Pro model, but it is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. It also carries the same memory configuration as the Pro model but with UFS 3.1 storage.
The screen size remains the same as K60 and K60 Pro for the Redmi K60 E smartphone, but it is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC. It also has a 3750mm² vapor chamber cooling and packs 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, along with up to 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.
All three smartphones run the MIUI 14 custom interface based on the Android 13 operating system. The Redmi K60 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging, while the K60 and K60 E packs 5,500mAh battery with 67W fast charging.
There is also a Redmi K60 Pro Championship Edition with a design similar to a champion sports car on the track, highlighting the performance and speed. The company says that it has a double-sided carbon fiber high-gloss speed line that is neatly divided and exquisite, and the embossed stitching details are like sports seats.
