since there will not be k60 gaming, will the k60 and/or k60 pro have trigger buttons ?

i like that feature cause it will provide more custom button launch aside from gaming.
if it does not have the the whole k60 series is as good as nothing.

I mainly see this phone for it's trigger buttons

    in malaysia k40ge and k50 gaming,the price is hardly dropping and many find that device even the 2nd used device.the trigger is the main factor people want that phone.

      What about the gaming triggers?

        True Gaming smartphones offer a better user experience and are smoother and better at not just gaming but heavy multi tasking as well then any other smartphone so there good for both power users heavy users and mobile gamers alike

        Maybe it's honestly better that better ximomi isn't making more so could gaming smartphones

        fine no more ximomi gaming smartphones

        Xiaomi brand not been gamer friendly anyway as they used slower ram in there edition gaming smartphones then none gaming version and had cooling issues as well as limited storage & ram specs

        I think people who want value for money on hardware and smartphone suitable for there gaming needs should focus on looking at other brands Nubia Lenovo maybe Asus with built in fans & ssds and better cooling and overall specs better ram & storage specs without the short comings of the ximomi phones

        No need for ximomi brand name gaming phones but realistically every use case has a suitable tool for it

          Reading this is like brain damage William ul explain why we didn't need gaming smartphones

          This is dead wrong why do gaming smartphones exist for gaming of course

          The gaming smartphone is no different than it's gaming laptop or gaming pc equipment

          The smartphones are the best tool for the job

          As mobile gaming getting more popular lately the need for them is greater than ever before

          Also premium smartphones are better if you get your money's worth on good hardware with the smartphone you buy

            I think this is only for the Redmi series not getting a gaming edition. Black Shark is doing well here in Asia and Europe, they're expanding well too. They're also one of the OEMs that will release an 8Gen2 phones per the Qualcomm presentation from 8Gen2 launch, so Blackshark 6 series will be released soon. I'm wondering if there will be a Poco F5GT since its based on K50 Gaming right?

              joe nodden, 10 Dec 2022Finally they admit gaming phones are dumb. Having a feature to not screw up your battery while charging it isn't dumb, imo. The bigger bollocks is the 432235435453243523342525 rectangles that get released every now and then.

The replacement cost for the oled screen on the Redmi note 12 pro is 320rmb (US$46). The replacement cost for the LCD screen on the Redmi note 11t pro is 550rmb (US$79). The LCD one is far more expensive. There has been a huge drop in the price of the latest Oleds from the likes Tianma and Huaxing. These prices are direct from Xiaomi China's website. The oled screen on the Xiaomi Civi 2 is 660rmb for reference. The cheaper oleds now are after getting very cheap as the screen on the Redmi note 12 pro is half the price of the Xiaomi civi 2 one

                          people here so ignorant can't difference between a gaming phone and normal phone.....
                          a gaming phone have bypassed charging that leave the battery alone while playing...also you can underclok/overclock the phone.
                          a phone only have side trigger is not a gaming phone

                                    Xiaomi has a dedicated gaming brand called Blackshark, which has expanded tremendously over the years. For all we know, Xiaomi is probably rethinking strategy for 2023 and trimming down overlapping models. Isn't having too many models the main criticism among commenters have for Xiaomi?

                                      Anonymous, 09 Dec 2022K series needs to end. Pointless to make midrange with 8g2. 😂 troll go away. The only thing that's different between a k60 with 8 gen 2 and other brands is cameras, and not everyone cares about cameras, yeah sure i use them every now and then, not worth 500-600$ extra for the phone tho.

                                      And for the comment bellow, yeah sure no normal phones have active cooling, but even gaming phones only had 1 so 👎
