Redmi K40 Pro: the economic flagship of the Xiaomi sub-brand with the pop-up selfie cam
Redmi has not revealed the smartphone that will enjoy this new chipset nor the launch date. However, we don’t need to learn space engineering to know that, probably, the device that will have the Snapdragon 888 will be the Redmi K40 Pro, heir to the previous K30 pro with Snapdragon 865 presented a few months ago.
According to some rumors, the Redmi K40 Pro will not show itself very different from its predecessor. In all fairness, it could keep the bezel-less display design thanks to the pop-up motorized camera mechanism. Most companies have abandoned this stylistic choice over the months in favor of the selfie cam set in a hole (the so-called “punch-hole” screen).
While the first Xiaomi flagships with an in-display camera (literally, under the screen) are expected, this Redmi K40 Pro could also have a 108 Mpx main camera, a 4500 mAh battery, and support for 33W fast charge. The Redmi K30 Pro arrived in March 2020, so we won’t be surprised to see the Redmi K40 Pro arrive in the same month as its “ancestor”. After all, the Redmi flagship is always marketed after the Mi series of the main brand
