After the launch of the Xiaomi 11 series, many Chinese users took to Weibo to remind Redmi General Manager (Lu Weibing) that they are looking forward to seeing a Redmi phone feature the Snapdragon 888 chipset as soon as possible. It has been nearly a year since the Redmi K30 series was released, so the new Redmi K series is also expected to be released soon.
Today, WHYLAB revealed renders of a new Redmi device. The blogger claimed that these renders belong to the Redmi K40 series.
The Redmi K40 will feature a single punch-hole display. The diameter of the front hole is also minimal. In contrast, the screen-to-body ratio is also reduced.
The back of the renders reveals a curved rear cover on both sides. The camera layout is very similar to the Redmi K30S. It has a quad-camera setup with a primary lens at the top. The right side of the camera module also has a laser focus and a flash.
Users favor the Redmi brand for its excellent cost-to-performance ratio. According to reports, the Redmi K40 Pro will be a surprise with its pricing and is expected to be one of the most affordable phones to feature the Snapdragon 888 chipset.
Redmi has not officially announced any information about the Redmi K40 series. It is expected that Redmi will launch this series in the first quarter of 2021.
