Xiaomi launched the Redmi K60 series comprising the regular, Pro and K60E variants in China last month. The K60 and K60 Pro went on sale in the country yesterday. Today, the Xiaomi sub-brand announced the success of the first flash sale of the smartphones. The company revealed on the microblogging platform Weibo that it has sold the first batch of 3,00,000 units of the Redmi K60 phones in 5 minutes.
The sales numbers sound impressive considering that 3,00,000 units were sold in 5 minutes. This means that 100 units were purchased every second or 60,000 units were purchased every minute. Unfortunately, despite the success of the first sale, the Redmi K60 series still falls short of the sales record of its predecessor. The Redmi K50 comprising of two devices sold 3,30,000 units in the first day. This is a 10 percent decline in the first flash sale.
The Xiaomi sub-brand said that users loved new features like a 1220p screen, wireless charging, and Snapdragon 8 processors. It remains to be seen if the overall sales of the Redmi K60 series will surpass the Redmi K50 series.

The regular, Pro, and K60E come with 60MP, 50MP, and 48MP main sensors paired with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP depth snapper. Internally, the K60 and K60 Pro are powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors respectively whereas the K60E is equipped with Dimensity 8200 SoC.
