Judging from last week’s survey, the Redmi K60 series is off to a good start. Judging by the first sales report, we can conclude the same. Some models in the trio are more popular than others, of course.
The Redmi K60 Pro is a fan favorite, no surprises here. It has gotten a lot of positive attention and it seems like it might turn people away from the more expensive flagships.
It’s not fully equipped to fight at the highest level, a lack of a telephoto lens and an IP rating holding it back, but it also has the lowest price of any Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone currently. By the way, we still don’t know in what form the Redmi K60 Pro will be available globally: Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco?
People fear that the global model will not be as cheap compared to the competition. But if Xiaomi sets its prices, this could be one of the most popular high-end phones this year.
The Redmi K60 was quite popular in its own right, though many are tempted by the Pro. For a few dollars more, the Pro gets you the next-generation chipset with an updated GPU and a better sensor for the main camera.
Again, the global price of this model is unknown – that CNY 800 difference could end up being more or less than the $115/€110/₹9,500 it converts to. This will be the deciding factor between Redmi K60 and K60 Pro. Right now most of the people are leaning towards the Pro.
Finally, the Redmi K60E experienced the same thing as the Vanilla K60: a better phone is available for a little more money. In this case the difference is only CNY 300 ($45/€41/₹3,600) and while the CNY 2,200 price tag is low for a QHD+ display, the move to a Dimension 8200 and a few other downgrades make it a tough sell.
We will keep you posted on any news about the Redmi K60 series (or phones based on the three models) reaching markets outside of China. This week the focus has been on the launch of the Redmi Note 12 series in India, but with that done it might be time for the K60 to pack up and see the world.
