Xiaomi’s brand Redmi which operates semi-independently in China, is preparing for its huge event tomorrow. The flagship smartphone series Redmi K60 is arriving, and we know it will have at least two very different looks – one with a Blue vegan leather back and another designed to look like carbon.
We are also expecting a flurry of new devices, including two new wearables – Redmi Watch 3 and Redmi Band 2 – as well as new TWS earphones Redmi Buds 4 Lite.
On top of that, we also expect an entirely new Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed smartphone that brings a new chipset, camera and looks with a fancy Mint Green color.

The Redmi K60 will have a so-called 2K screen, which is 1220p – the middle step between QHD and Full HD. The Xiaomi brand developed an AI algorithm that learns how to provide the best auto brightness with time. Images also reveal the panel will be flat, but we don’t know whether this applies to the Redmi K60, the Redmi K60 Pro, or any other phone lined up for an announcement.
There is also a Sony IMX800 sensor in one (or more) of these phones. It is a 50 MP camera, often spotted in premium-tier devices, and this one will be coupled with OIS.
Redmi K60 features
The Redmi Watch 3 is coming with a 1.75” AMOLED screen, which is almost 15% bigger than the predecessor, and it will have 341 ppi and 600 nits brightness. We can see a single button on the right side, and a teaser revealed a bright green strap option.
Redmi Band 2 brings a 1.47” display with a touch area 76% more than the first Redmi Band. The body is 9.99 mm and will have no physical keys whatsoever. Then there is the Redmi Buds 4 Lite, also translated as Youth, in Green and Orange to match the style of its young users. Each bud will weigh just 3.9 grams.

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed was not mentioned by the company; it was leaked by WHYLAB on Weibo. The new phone will keep the overall design with three cameras on a rectangular island and flat sides, but the Redmi logo makes its way to the top of the back panel.
The phone is expected to keep the overall footprint of the Redmi 12 Pro series but will replace the Dimensity 1080 with a Snapdragon 778G chipset. The 108 MP is also expected to be gone for a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor. It is expected to be priced under CNY1,699, which is the current cost of a regular Redmi Note 12 Pro.
