Xiaomi’s Redmi brand held a big event today for launching half a dozen new products. The stars of the show were the Redmi K60 lineup, which consisted of three new phones – a flagship Redmi K60 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a vanilla Redmi K60 with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and another premium phone called Redmi K60E, powered by the new Dimensity 8200 chipset.
In this article, we are going to concentrate on the Redmi K60E – the specifications, features, pricing and its availability.

Redmi K60E with Dimensity 8200 chipset Unveiled
The Redmi K60E is the first phone from the flagship K series with the letter E at the end. Xiaomi did not reveal the reasoning behind the letter, but it is definitely an efficient smartphone.
Redmi retained its premium status with the Mediatek chipset and brought the 6.67” AMOLED with 120 Hz refresh rate and 1440p resolution, seen in the other two Redmi K60 phones. The difference here is it is “just” 1,200 nits brightness, “just” 10-bit, instead of 12-bit. It comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection on top.
The main camera on the back also has OIS but this time comes with a 48 MP sensor. The other two shooters are 8 MP ultra-wide and 2 MP macro sensors. The battery of the Redmi K60E is the same as the Redmi K60 – 5,500 mAh with 67W fast charging but no wireless charging.
Another downgrade this phone took is storage – instead of UFS 4.0, all storage options are UFS 3.1, while RAM was slightly downgraded from LPDDR5X to LPPDR5.
