Redmi K40 specifications (rumoured)
The Redmi K40 will arrive with a punch-hole display instead of a pop-up camera mechanism as seen on its predecessor. Redmi general manager Lu Weibing also confirmed that it will be the smallest punch-hole cutout on a smartphone yet. Redmi K40 specs tipped so far include an FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an LCD panel. The smartphone may be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset, but there are also rumours that the phone will come with the Qualcomm SNapdragon 870 SoC or the Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.
Redmi K40 is expected to run on the latest Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 and the device should come with 5G support as well. While the Redmi K40 battery capacity hasn’t been leaked yet, the company has teased that the phone will come with more than 4,000mAh battery and deliver a long-lasting battery life. The smartphone’s camera specs are also under wraps as of now.
Redmi K40 price (expected)
Redmi K40 price in China was also leaked a while back. The smartphone may be announced with a starting price of CNY 2,999 (approx Rs 34,000). This would make it cheaper than the Mi 11 and one of the most affordable Snapdragon 888-powered phones, if the smartphone indeed launches with the flagship chipset that is.
