This morning, a Xiaomi smartphone with the model number M2011K2C was revealed in the MIIT certification and received a network access license.
According to Digital Chat Station, the M2011K2C is a smartphone built on a new platform. Based on this speculation, the M2011K2C appears to be a new device in the Redmi K40 series.
According to reports, Qualcomm will release the Snapdragon 875G on December 1, and a new Snapdragon 700 series chipset is also on the way.
As a close partner of Qualcomm, Xiaomi may be the first commercial manufacturer for the Snapdragon 875G and the upcoming Snapdragon 700 series chips. Last year, Redmi was the first to launch the Redmi K30 5G with the Snapdragon 765G.
This year, Redmi may once again secure the first use of the new Snapdragon chip. The first phone could be the Redmi K40, so M2011K2C is most likely the Redmi K40.
In last year’s Redmi K30 series, the K30 was powered by a Snapdragon 7 series chipset, while the K30 Pro featured a flagship Snapdragon 8 series chipset. This year, the strategy may continue, with the Redmi K40 possibly featuring the new Snapdragon 700-series chipset, and the K40 Pro may feature the Snapdragon 875G chipset.
There is no more news about the Redmi K40 series, but the launch is expected before the end of this year.
