On December 27, Redmi launched the new K60 series, which has a flagship processor, a top-notch 2K screen and an excellent imaging system, and also includes wireless charging. So after making up for the "shortcomings", can the Redmi K60 series be considered a "true flagship"?

The K60 series is divided into three models this time, namely K60E, K60 and K60 Pro. The three models are equipped with different types of processors. The K60E is equipped with Dimensity 8200, the K60 is equipped with Snapdragon 8+, and the K60 Pro is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen2. Redmi is very confident in the performance of the K60 series, and officially announced that it will end e-sports phones.

Redmi K60 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, using TSMC's 4nm process technology , which improves CPU performance by 35% and energy efficiency by 40%. The new generation of self-developed Adreno GPU architecture brings 25% performance improvement and 45% energy efficiency improvement. Paired with 8533Mbps full-blooded LPDDR5X memory and a new generation of UFS4.0 high-speed flash memory, the read and write speeds are doubled.

This generation of K60 Pro still uses a metal middle frame, but the screen bracket is still plastic. The middle frame optimizes the antenna design and adopts a 360° surrounding antenna layout. 80% of the antennas are designed in the upper part of the fuselage, and the sides are equipped with a full-mode antenna structure to ensure continuous and stable signals.

K60 Pro is equipped with a 3200×1440 resolution 2K screen with a peak brightness of 1400 nits, supports 12bit color depth, and supports ambient color temperature and 1920Hz PWM high-frequency dimming. In addition, the official has opened a global 120Hz high refresh rate, with no frame locking in all scenes, giving users the choice of high refresh rate.

The author learned that this screen was jointly developed by Redmi and CSOT . It not only brings better display quality, but also improves luminous efficiency and power consumption performance through new material technology. This domestic 2K screen has high display accuracy and is clearer and sharper when displaying web fonts. It does not have the problems of blurred edges and blurred edges that were common in some previous screens. The screen has excellent color depth and color accuracy, which is more suitable for watching some HDR videos, and this screen has faster response speed and brighter picture brightness.

In terms of imaging, the K60 Pro's main camera uses an IMX800 sensor with a 1/1.49-inch outsole and up to 54 million pixels CMOS, which is stronger than the Sony IMX766 that comes standard with many flagship phones this year, especially in terms of photosensitivity. Xiaomi camp’s main flagship Xiaomi Mi 13 also uses this solution for its main camera.

In order to match this CMOS, K60 Pro also adds OIS optical image stabilization to the main camera, and the core algorithm level has also transplanted Xiaomi Imaging Brain 2.0. This time, the K60 Pro’s main camera imaging capabilities have been qualitatively improved compared to previous K series products.

Redmi K60 Pro has a built-in 5000mAh large-capacity battery in its thin and light body, and supports 120W fast charging, which can fully charge the entire phone in just 20 minutes. It also supports 30W wireless fast charging and is paired with a Redmi wireless charger to complete the “last mile” of cost-effective flagship battery life.

Taken together, the Redmi K60 Pro also has a top-level processor, full storage specifications, and a top-level image sensor. This time it also adds wireless charging, under-screen fingerprint scanners, and MIUI 14. The author believes that it is more like a replacement for Xiaomi Mi 13. If you don’t like right-angled bezels but want flagship configurations and have certain needs for taking photos, the Redmi K60 Pro is very suitable.
