Finally, the Redmi K40 series is going for the long-awaited official launch in China. Xiaomi has revealed the launch date of the Redmi K40 series which is on February 25. The series is expected to have three models and it will initially debut in China followed by the global launch. Apart from knowing about the launch date, Redmi K40 and K40 Pro first-look images revealed, credit goes to the TENAA certification website. As of now, we thought that there will be only two models in the K40 series, K40 and K40 Pro. But reports are saying that there will be a third model as well in this series, named Redmi K40S which will be powered by the 6 nm-based MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset. Now, let’s talk about the vanilla and Pro model of this series.
As per the TENAA listing, the Redmi K40 (M2012K11AC) will be available in a pale blue color with a centered punch-hole flat display. As per the camera module, it looks like an elongated version of that of the Mi 11. We can see a power button and the volume rocker on the right side. On the other hand, the Redmi K40 Pro will be available in black/gray color option having a similar design to the standard one, such as a centered punch-hole display and a quad rear camera setup. The Pro model is confirmed to have the 5G connectivity.
