Xiaomi pushes 300,000 Redmi K60 phones in 5 minutes

The Xiaomi Redmi brand has announced a successful first flash sale in China. The company revealed on Weibo that the first batch of 300,000 units of Redmi K60 phones sold out in 5 minutes. He said users love the new features like 1220p display, wireless charging and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset in the Pro variant.

The Redmi K60 series consists of three phones – a premium Redmi K60E with Dimensity 8200, a vanilla flagship Redmi K60 with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and the Redmi K60 Pro with a Sony IMX890 sensor behind the 50 MP camera and fast charging of 120 W.

The number of devices sold seems impressive, as simple calculations reveal that 100 units were purchased per second. However, the number is lower than the 330,000 units sold of the previous Redmi K50 series, which only included two smartphones; that’s a 10% drop in the first flash sale.

Only time will tell if the overall sales of the Redmi K60 will surpass the previous range, but our weekly survey reveals that only the Redmi K60 Pro is a desirable smartphone.
