The Xiaomi Redmi K60 and Redmi K60 Pro smartphones come with several similarities inside. A teardown video of the two Xiaomi models has highlighted the similarities and differences in their internals.
Xiaomi sold over 300,000 units of the Redmi K60 series within five minutes of its release. The teardown video by Wekihome presents a sneak peek of the K60/ K60 Pro’s internal components. The detailed disassembly video shows that the two phones have striking similarities. This implies a simplified assembly process for the two models. The Redmi K60 Pro has a larger camera sensor than the K60. The vanilla model thus has a plastic bracket around its camera to adjust its dimensions. Both models also have a similar motherboard layout.
The video reveals the two different chipsets of the K60 and K60 Pro. While the base model is equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset while the K60 Pro has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The pro model uses UFS 4.0 from Samsung and Micron’s LPDDR5X RAM. On the other hand, the K60 uses UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 from Samsung. In terms of heat management, both models use a massive vapor chamber for cooling the chipsets. The sizes of the vapor chambers are slightly different, however.
The Redmi K60 Pro supports 120W wired fast charging and its motherboard has an extra chip for that. Both models sport the Surge P1 charging chip at the bottom. The K60 has a larger battery size than its pro sibling. The K60 also has a larger battery capacity but both models could offer similar battery performance.
The Xiaomi Redmi K60 and K60 Pro were released in December 2022. They both got a tumultuous reception in the market and the flagship K60 Pro model offers up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
