Redmi K40 to come with smallest punch-hole in the world, company teases

• Redmi K40 is confirmed to have a centre-positioned punch-hole display
• Vivo S5's 2.98 millimetres punch-hole is currently claimed to be the smallest punch-hole
• Redmi K40 launch is expected later this month

Redmi K40 launch is expected to happen sometime later this month and the series is said to include three models, a vanilla Redmi K40, Redmi K40S and the Redmi K40 Pro. Now, ahead of the launch, Redmi's general manager Lu Weibing has confirmed the Redmi K40 will have a centre-positioned punch-hole display to house the selfie camera. This is a shift from the pop-up selfie camera module on the Redmi K30 Pro and K30 Ultra. Furthermore, the executive says the goal was to achieve the highest possible screen-to-body ratio and that the Redmi K40 display will have the smallest punch-hole cutout seen on a phone yet. To recall, the Vivo S5's punch-hole is 2.98 millimetres and is currently claimed to be the smallest punch-hole. This suggests the Redmi K40 cutout will be smaller than the Vivo S5.
