The first purchase of the Redmi K60 series exceeded 300,000 units within 5 minutes. Both Redmi K60 and Redmi K60 Pro are equipped with the latest Qualcomm flagship processor, and the average price has risen, and in the case of the excellent reputation of Mi 13 and the shrinking of global mobile phones, compared with the first sales of the previous K series, 300,000 units is still a very good result.
However, voices on the Internet have mixed comments on Redmi K60. The core point of criticism is that Redmi is “floating”.
The processors of the Redmi K40 series are Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000, and the price is below 3,000 yuan. Although the Redmi K60E is equipped with Dimensity 8200, the sound waves are completely covered by the Redmi K60 Pro and Redmi K60, and the price has even reached 4,500 yuan.
What kind of configuration does the Redmi K60 series bring in such a high price range? It brings domestic top-level 2K screens, flagship-level Snapdragon 8+ and Snapdragon 8Gen2, and wireless fast charging. These three configurations have brought a very high cost increase, especially the screen.
China’s top 2K screen
After the domestic 2K screen brought to you by Black Shark the year before last, the high-resolution screen has been silent for a very long time. Last year, China Star, BOE, and Tianma launched 1.5K screens. 2K screens have always been a difficult point for domestic screens.
The number of densely packed pixels inside has increased to about 4.6 million, which means that in the small screen space, the pixel circuit wiring, pixel area, pixel pitch, etc. must be greatly compressed, such as the thinnest metal wiring. to 1.5 μm, which has reached the limit level of world-class panel exposure machines. In addition, the precision control of the luminescent material evaporation equipment used in domestic 2K flexible screens is almost 1/10 of the diameter of a hair, which is the ultimate attempt of domestic technology.
All Redmi K60 series come standard. CSOT’s flexible 2K screen adopts diamond-like arrangement, C6 luminous material, maximum brightness of 1400nit, supports 12bit 68.7 billion colors, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, maximum 120Hz refresh rate, 10,000-level dimming and other features . At the software level, the K60 series is also equipped with Redmi’s self-developed full-link display engine and ultra-dynamic display technology, which can reconstruct the algorithm architecture from the dimensions of color calibration, color mapping, color gamut coverage, space volume and brightness, and achieve pixel-by-pixel accuracy. Adjustment.
It can be said that the screen quality of the Redmi K60 is the best new machine at this price.
Controversy over wireless charging
The author also read the comments of many netizens, basically saying that wireless charging is not used in daily life, and the perception is not strong. Two readers in the site analyzed the wireless charging of Redmi.
This netizen said: “Redmi still got the positioning wrong. Wireless charging is mainly aimed at office workers who have cars and commute by car, so that they can charge their phones as soon as they are driving, and at the same time, they can also charge their phones at work. You can put a wireless charger, which is definitely much more convenient than wired. But this kind of person must first consider the flagship phone of the Xiaomi digital series, not the cost-effective phone like Redmi. The main target group of the Redmi K series is college students , They have to travel to different classrooms every day, and there is no stable place to put the wireless charger. If you carry the wireless charger on your body anytime and anywhere for wireless charging, it will run counter to the original intention of convenience. That’s why It seems that wireless charging is very helpful on the K60.”
Another netizen said: “How to say, k60 can be said to have blown up the Redmi strategy this time. Why do you say that, first look at the previous generation K50. What level was the K50 at the same price back then, and the 2K screen was the only one at the same level. The 8100 is strong enough, and the price is not expensive. Last year, it was basically “I take good pictures”, “I am 2K”, “I have frame insertion”, “I am 2K”. Anyway, under the big selling point of 2K, most parameters have support. Look at K60 again, In fact, the biggest upgrade of the K60 is not 8+, but 30W wireless charging. This is another major selling point of the K60 generation. Unfortunately, wireless charging is currently too low in this price range, although many places are pushing wireless charging such as It is said that cars will integrate wireless charging, street lights in Wuhan will also have wireless charging, and Qualcomm will integrate wireless charging, but wireless charging itself is still a very useful technology.”
Thanks to these two netizens for their comments, they are right. The core of his point of view is that wireless charging is very good, but there are not many application scenarios. He thinks that the 2,000 yuan Redmi can be full, and the wireless charging can be cut off to reduce the money, or the remaining money can be used to improve the quality.
Everyone’s criticism of Redmi K60 is largely due to the good feel of OnePlus Ace2.
Look and feel
OnePlus Ace2 is equipped with a curved screen, which is not only very comfortable to hold, but also brings a high value. Redmi has been criticized for a large part because the screen has a stand, which looks and feels less refined than OnePlus. And the appearance of Redmi K60 is quite satisfactory, there will not be too many surprises. Of course, this is the choice of Redmi and OnePlus, as well as the choice of consumers. For the author, as long as you wear a mobile phone case, the feel depends only on the mobile phone case.
The main camera is OV64B, enough
The quality of the OV64B itself is good. It is responsible for the telephoto on many flagship phones. Now it is the main camera of the Redmi K60. How is its performance? Let’s compare it with Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
Main camera
Main camera
Main camera 2X
In well-lit outdoors, there is almost no difference between the main camera of Mi 12S Ultra and Redmi K60. Zooming in, the details of Mi 12S Ultra are a little richer than those of Redmi K60. The imaging style of the two is the biggest difference. Personally, I still think that Leica is brighter and better.
5X telephoto
In terms of telephoto, Mi 12S Ultra is a complete crushing victory, and Redmi has no chance of winning.
Main night scene
Main night scene
The author thought that the shooting of night scenes would make a big difference, but in fact, the difference in perception and details is not that big.
In terms of experience, the lens combination of Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra is more versatile, while Redmi’s 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and 2-megapixel macro are completely make-up, but the main camera can fully meet most of the camera needs.
Summary
Redmi K60 is a very cost-effective mobile phone, the price of 12GB+512GB is only 2999 yuan. Domestic top 2K screen, Snapdragon 8+ processor, 5500mAh large battery + 30W wireless fast charging, compared to Redmi K50 is a huge upgrade, but the price is cheaper. Redmi K60 is the most sincere work since the establishment of the K series.
If the breakthrough point of the next Redmi K70 can focus on the appearance and make some trade-offs in the configuration, I believe it will be more popular with consumers.
