Today, the Xiaomi sub-brand introduced the new flagship K40 line, the base model of which was the Redmi K40.
- The smartphone did not receive the top-end Snapdragon 888 processor, like older brothers, but became one of the first devices with the Snapdragon 870 chip, which is also quite productive. Samsung Samsung Super AMOLED display of the latest generation E4, like Xiaomi Mi 11 and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, is another pride of Redmi K40. Only here the screen is flat and has a diagonal of 6.67 inches. The refresh rate is 120 Hz, and the touch layer polling rate is 360 Hz, so the novelty will be appreciated by gamers.

The smartphone did not receive the top-end Snapdragon 888 processor, like older brothers, but became one of the first devices with the Snapdragon 870 chip, which is also quite productive. Samsung Samsung Super AMOLED display of the latest generation E4, like Xiaomi Mi 11 and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, is another pride of Redmi K40. Only here the screen is flat and has a diagonal of 6.67 inches. The refresh rate is 120 Hz, and the touch layer polling rate is 360 Hz, so the novelty will be appreciated by gamers.
In the center of the top of the display is a circular cutout for the 20-megapixel front camera. The notch is quite small — only 2.76 mm in diameter.
The main camera is similar in design to Xiaomi Mi 11 and consists of three modules: a 48-megapixel Sony IMX582 sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens with a 119-degree field of view, and a 5-megapixel macro lens.
In addition, the Redmi K40 has Wi-Fi 6, UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 memory, Dolby Atmos-enabled stereo speakers, NFC for contactless payments, and IP53 splash protection.
The 4520mAh battery supports 33W fast charging. Unfortunately, there is no wireless charging.
