Design

The aesthetics of these three phones do not differ too much. The only important difference is the positions of the elements in the camera module of the Redmi K60E, but for the rest, these devices are pretty much the same. They come with flat displays, punch holes placed centrally, and rectangle-shaped camera modules.

Display

Despite belonging to different price ranges, the phones from the Redmi K60 Series have the same amazing display. We are talking about an OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 1,200 nits, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The handsets also come with good stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

The processors found on these devices are all different. The most powerful phone of the trio is the Redmi K60 Pro as it is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3.2 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 native storage. You can get the same memory configuration if you choose the vanilla version, but with an inferior chipset: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 by Qualcomm. The Redmi K60E has just 12 GB of RAM in its most expensive configuration, as well as an inferior Dimensity 8200 chipset by MediaTek. The vanilla version and the Pro run Android 13 out of the box, while the Redmi K60E is still based on Android 12.

Camera

If you are looking for the best cameras, then you should go for the Redmi K60 Pro. It has a triple rear camera including a 54 MP main sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens, as well as a 16 MP selfie snapper. The vanilla Redmi K60 has the same secondary sensors, but with an inferior main camera: a 64 MP shooter with OIS. The Redmi K60E is the most disappointing one because it has a 48 MP main camera with OIS (the secondary sensors remain the same).

Battery

If your goal is to get a longer battery life, then you should go either for the vanilla Redmi K60 or the Redmi K60E because they have a bigger battery, with a capacity of 5500 mAh. On the other hand, the Pro charges quicker thanks to 120W fast charging, while the other variants feature 67W fast charging.

Price

The Redmi K60 starts from about $379/€350, the Redmi K60 Pro from $498/€460, and the K60E from $325/€300. Which one would you pick?
