Xiaomi Redmi K60 Extreme Edition Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi K60 Extreme Edition - extra performance

The Chinese company Xiaomi is trying to cover all categories of customers to maximize profits. Of course, the most sophisticated gamers are among them. It is for them that the hero of today's review is intended, ready to offer not only a top-end processor, but also much more for a relatively small price.

Acquaintance with the design of the novelty will be great, because it is simply impossible to find fault with the ergonomic glass case with a stunning triple camera unit. A bezel-less 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a barely noticeable 20-megapixel selfie camera also adds to the list of exterior pluses, including the metal edging. The quality of the displayed picture is truly flagship. There is also the highest resolution of 2712x1220 pixels, and an impressive 144 Hz refresh rate, and natural color reproduction. The fingerprint scanner installed in it does not upset with accuracy.

Technical characteristics are the best that is in the device. The MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ CPU coupled with 12GB/16GB/24GB of RAM simply cracks down on the most demanding games. Even the demanding Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail are no exception, because with the maximum graphic presets we get more than 60 frames per second, in Call Of Duty and PUBG the framerate crosses the mark of a hundred FPS. At the same time, the energy efficiency of the chipset even improved compared to its predecessor. The 5000mAh battery easily provides up to 8-9 hours of active screen time, gaining 100% capacity from the outlet in 20 minutes (quick charge at 120W). There is no wireless charging method. There is no permanent memory expansion, but with 256/512/2014GB of UFS 4.0 ROM, it is unlikely to be needed.

The 54-, 8-, and 2-megapixel cameras, topped by the Sony IMX800 sensor, don't disappoint. The excellent detail of the pictures taken by the main module makes it possible to forget about the absence of a telephoto lens. Even with a double approximation, there are no blurs that are unpleasant to the eye, and there is also little noise. Stereo sound is distinguished by a volume of 90 dB, the presence of bass. The functionality of the gadget is enhanced by the support of contactless payments NFC, 5G, infrared port to control household appliances. Moisture protection according to IP68 standards is available. But in a barrel of honey there is always a fly in the ointment. The phone is aimed at residents of China, so there are problems with the translation of software, the operation of the modem in 4G frequencies in Europe and the CIS. It remains only to put up with these shortcomings or wait for the device to enter the global market under a different name.
