The Xiaomi Redmi K60 Pro is equipped with 120W wired fast charging and 30W wireless fast charging capabilities. The original charger, a 120W GaN charger from Xiaomi, has a smaller size compared to its predecessor but still features a USB-A port and supports PD protocol via a special contact. We tested the charger's performance and found that it can support input of 100-240V~50/60Hz, 3.0A. The original cable is a customized USB-A to USB-C cable with widened internal contacts to increase current to 6A. The charger also integrates two self-developed charging chips, Surge P1 inside, which divide the 20V 6A into two circuits of 20V 3A each and then buck the voltage to 5V and increase the current to 12A. In testing, we found that the original charger can charge the Redmi K60 Pro at 100W for the first four minutes before gradually dropping to around 56-63W. The phone was fully charged in 20 minutes. We also tested compatibility with other chargers, finding that only Xiaomi's own chargers and some PPS chargers could trigger high charging speeds. The temperature during charging remained stable at around 42°C (107.6°F), indicating good heat management. However, the device's compatibility is limited to original accessories for optimal charging speed. Overall, the Redmi K60 Pro's charger performed well in our tests, but its limitations should be noted.

Xiaomi Redmi K50

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Xiaomi Redmi K50, and unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. Despite its impressive specs on paper, this phone failed to deliver in several key areas. The camera performance was abysmal, especially in low-light conditions. The sensor size is decent, but it seems that the software is not optimized to extract the best from it. Daytime photos are okay, but nowhere near as good as what I've seen on other phones with similar cameras. The gaming experience was actually quite enjoyable, thanks to the phone's powerful processor and snappy performance. However, only a few games, like Asphalt 9, have adapted to take full advantage of the phone's high refresh rate capabilities. Battery life is decent for general use, but drops significantly when gaming or using resource-intensive apps. The display is nice, and the speakers are quite good, making it enjoyable to watch videos or listen to music on this phone. My biggest disappointment lies in the camera performance, which I believe is a software issue rather than a hardware one. For a phone priced around $500-$600, there are better options available that offer superior camera capabilities. If you're a gamer and don't mind a mediocre camera experience, then the Redmi K50 might be worth considering. However, if you prioritize taking good photos or have high expectations for your camera, I would suggest looking elsewhere. There are simply better phones on the market that offer more value for the price.
