Xiaomi Redmi K60 series will stick to Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, report claims

The Redmi K50 series arrived in March with Mediatek chipsets in vanilla and Pro versions. The Ultra eventually followed in August with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and reports are the incoming Redmi K60 series will have a phone with the 2021 flagship platform by Qualcomm.

According to Digital Chat Station, the series is already in the design verification testing phase, and once the internal design is confirmed to be safe, manufacturing will follow.

The tipster has a great track record, also said the alleged phone, which may be even the vanilla Redmi K60, will come with a 2K screen, which is how some Chinese people mistakenly refer to QHD+ resolution. We are also looking at a 5,500 mAh battery with 67W fast charging over the wire and 30W wireless.

This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about the Redmi K60 lineup. Right after Apple’s event, the Redmi boss and Xiaomi China president William Lu asked his followers on Weibo whether they want a Dynamic Island feature on the Redmi K60 phones. Reports are that Xiaomi is already working on it, and will introduce it soon.
