Redmi K60 series specifications (expected)

Redmi K60 series is expected to pack a 6.67-inch display with up to QHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper. The handset is tipped to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC paired with Adreno GPU for graphics, probably up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

On the other hand, the Pro version is said to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 SoC, which is confusing. The Redmi K60E is tipped to be powered by the MediaTek chipset but the exact SoC details are unknown at the moment. We believe it could be the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC

The Redmi K60 is tipped to pack a 5,500mAh battery with 67W fast-wired charging and for the first time, there will be 30W wireless charging support.

As for the cameras, the Redmi K60 will feature a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro sensor. There will be a 16MP snapper on the front for selfies and video chats.
