Polish software developer @kacskrz on Twitter published some information about Redmi smartphones
What is known
The fifth generation (because there was no Redmi K10) will be onthe initial stage is represented not by two, but by three smartphones at once. Naturally, everyone already knew about the Redmi K60 and the Pro version, but the third model will be the Redmi K60E.
Redmi K60 is codenamed socrates and will beequipped with the flagship mobile processor of the new generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. But the Pro version (codenamed mondrian) will receive Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. The Polish programmer himself wonders why this is so, but it is possible that there is simply a mistake here.
Xiaomi will release at least 3 devices in RedmiK60 series: K60, K60 Pro, and K60E. K60, codename socrates, uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. K60 Pro, mondrian, uses Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (don't ask why), and K60E, rembrandt, will use MediaTek CPU (IDK which yet, maybe Dimensity 9200? )

Redmi K60E will be the most modest smartphone in the worldthis trio. It is codenamed rembrandt and will most likely be equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9200 mobile processor. This is a new 6nm chip that debuted in the vivo X90 about a week ago for between $520 and $700.
The presentation of Redmi K60, K60 Pro and K60E will take place inearly next year. It is possible that Xiaomi will release several more models later. For example, the Ultra and Gaming versions, as happened with the Redmi K50 series.
