The Redmi K60 Pro boasts a stylish back panel design that immediately catches the eye. Its revamped camera module adds a modern touch, setting it apart from other smartphones in its category.
The device offers color options to suit various tastes, including classic Black and White, as well as unique choices like Mint and Champion Black for those seeking something different.
In terms of build quality, the Redmi K60 Pro maintains the solid feel of its predecessor, the Xiaomi Redmi K60, while adding a glossy finish for a more premium touch.

The power button and volume controls are conveniently placed for easy single-hand use, making this phone both stylish and practical.
Display
The Redmi K60 Pro’s front display is a 6.67-inch OLED panel, identical to the standard K60, but its FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate bring an immersive visual experience with vibrant 68B colors.
With a peak brightness of 1400 nits, the display remains clear and vibrant, even under bright sunlight. Although there’s limited information about its Corning glass protection, this high-brightness screen is perfect for users who prioritize clarity and color accuracy.
The smooth 120Hz refresh rate enhances responsiveness, offering minimal lag and fluid transitions, ideal for browsing, gaming, and app usage.
Cameras
Equipped with a triple camera setup, the Redmi K60 Pro’s 54MP primary lens captures detailed photos and videos. The improved aperture and optical image stabilization reduce distortion and deliver clear, vibrant images, especially in daylight.
In low light, the device’s night mode brightens images, retaining detail while reducing noise. AI enhancements add creative photography features, making the camera versatile for different scenarios. The setup includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro lens for more flexibility in framing shots. Video recording is supported at up to 8K resolution, and the 16MP selfie camera offers sharp photos and 1080p video, although 4K recording would enhance it further.

The Redmi K60 Pro operates on the latest MIUI 14 interface based on Android 13, offering a highly customizable experience with gesture support and various widgets. However, some bloatware may be present.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a 4nm processor that handles gaming, multitasking, and social media effortlessly. Paired with the Adreno 740 GPU, the phone delivers an excellent gaming experience with high-quality visuals.
Memory options start at 8GB RAM with 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, while higher-end variants (up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage) use faster UFS 4.0 memory, ensuring smooth performance even for demanding applications.
Battery and Charging
The Redmi K60 Pro’s 5000mAh battery delivers extended screen time, with over 6 hours of regular use and 4 hours for gaming. Its 120W wired charging feature is exceptionally fast, charging from 0% to 100% in just 19 minutes.
