The upcoming Redmi K60 flagship series is expected to debut sometime in December; however, no official date has yet been set. While we are still waiting for an official confirmation, a new report has revealed the upcoming premium series will include three models—the standard Redmi K60, the higher-end Redmi K60 Pro, and the Redmi K60E. Oddly enough, the vanilla model is claimed to pack a better chipset than the Pro phone. Here are all the details.
Kacper Skrzypek shared some interesting details about the forthcoming Redmi K60 series in his recent tweet. He says the lineup will feature the Redmi K60, the Redmi K60 Pro, and the Redmi K60E models. As per the leaker, the vanilla model, codenamed “Socrates,” will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
Further, Skrzypek says the Pro model (codenamed “Mondrian”) will feature the older Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. It’s strange because the higher-end model usually has a better chipset.
The Redmi K60E, which the company might call the Redmi K60 Extreme, is said to be equipped with a MediaTek chipset, probably the Dimensity 8200 or Dimensity 9200. The handset has the codename “Rembrandt”.
A recent 3C listing of the three handsets revealed only one of them, likely the Pro model, will support 120W fast charging. The rest two devices will have 67W fast charging. The listing suggests the launch of the Redmi K60 Series is fast approaching.
As mentioned, the new Redmi smartphones could launch in China in December. The handsets are also expected to arrive in the global market. Currently, there’s no official confirmation from the brand. However, we can expect an announcement soon. Stick around for the updates.
