The Redmi K60 Series marks Xiaomi's most ambitious flagship lineup yet, packing Snapdragon's fastest processor, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage across three distinct models — the Redmi K60 Pro, Redmi K60, and Redmi K60E — all launched in China on December 31, 2022.
Redmi K60 Series Specs: Three Models, One Powerful Family
The lineup covers a wide range of buyers. The flagship Redmi K60 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 — Qualcomm's most powerful chip at launch — while the standard K60 steps down to the still-capable Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The K60E takes a different route entirely, opting for the MediaTek Dimensity 8200. All three models share a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1,400 nits peak brightness, and HDR10+ support.

Redmi K60 Series Price and Availability
All three phones went on sale in China from December 31, 2022. Here is the full pricing breakdown in CNY with approximate Indian rupee equivalents:
- Redmi K60 Pro — CNY 3,299 (~Rs. 40,000) for 8GB + 128GB; CNY 4,599 (~Rs. 55,000) for 16GB + 512GB
- Redmi K60 — CNY 2,499 (~Rs. 30,000) for 8GB + 128GB; CNY 3,599 (~Rs. 43,000) for 16GB + 512GB

The pricing strategy positions the K60E as the value entry point, the standard K60 as the balanced mid-flagship, and the K60 Pro as the all-out performance option for those who want Qualcomm's finest silicon paired with Sony's best mobile camera sensor.
Camera and Charging: Where the Models Differ
Camera hardware is one of the clearest differentiators across the series. The Redmi K60 Pro's triple camera array leads with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX800 sensor paired with optical image stabilisation (OIS). The IMX800 is Sony's large-format flagship sensor, designed to capture more light and produce sharper low-light shots than conventional sensors. A secondary 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro complete the rear setup, while a 16-megapixel selfie camera handles video calls and portraits.
The standard Redmi K60 bumps the primary sensor resolution to 64 megapixels, also with OIS, keeping the same ultra-wide and macro layout. The K60E moves to a 48-megapixel primary camera, still with OIS — a respectable spec at its price point.
On charging, the Pro model pulls ahead decisively with 120W wired fast charging, making it one of the fastest-charging flagships available. Both the K60 and K60E settle for 67W wired charging, which is still quick by most standards. All three models share 30W wireless charging support.
Battery Life Consideration
Interestingly, the K60 Pro — the highest-spec model — carries the smallest battery at 5,000mAh, partly offset by its 120W charging speed. The K60 and K60E both pack a larger 5,500mAh cell, which should translate to longer screen-on times for moderate users, making either model a sound pick for heavy daily drivers who prefer fewer charge cycles.
