Xiaomi Redmi K60 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Xiaomi Redmi K60 is the 2022 performance flagship of the K line, running the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 in a 6.67-inch 120 Hz OLED rated at 1400 nits, with a 5500 mAh battery, 67 W charging, and an IP53 body at 204 grams. Our catalog scores it 90 on everyday use, 50 on battery and 69 on screen. A 64-megapixel stabilized main camera records 8K24 video, and the 8/128 GB trim is tracked at about $450 new. The Xiaomi Redmi K80 is the newer generation, and the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 3 is the successor in spirit.

Display and design

The 6.67-inch OLED refreshes at 120 Hz with a 1400-nit peak, scoring 69 on our screen axis: bright, sharp and fluid — the display argument of the K60 within its price band. IP53 sealing handles dust and light rain, and at 204 grams the large cell feeds the compactness score of 78.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 posts an everyday axis of 90 and a gaming axis of 32: near the top of what our everyday scale measures, with sustained heavy-title pace from the corrected 2022 flagship silicon. Tracked trims run from 8 to 16 GB of RAM across up to 1024 GB of storage.

Camera

The camera axis of 36 rests on a 64-megapixel stabilized main sensor with an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens, recording up to 8K24. OIS-backed daylight and evening shots are dependable; the camera is solid without challenging the imaging flagships — the K-line trade.

Battery and charging

The 5500 mAh battery scores 50 on our battery axis, comfortably beyond a day of heavy use, and 67 W charging scores 48, restoring the large cell at a steady clip. Endurance plus pace in a 204-gram body is the complete K60 proposition.

Verdict

At about $450 new for 8/128 GB, the K60 answers a simple question: flagship-chip pace and a 5500 mAh cell for half a flagship price. Screen, battery and speed carry the pitch; the K80 moves the platform forward, and the Turbo 3 continues the value-flagship branch.
