While the competing company Apple introduced its awesome new products, things are getting busy in the Android device world too. More precisely, something is being prepared by our favorite Xiaomi—more specifically, the Redmi sub-brand. The Redmi K40 Pro model is said, according to the latest info, to be an excellently equipped piece.

Redmi K40 Pro will once again try to impress

On the social network Weibo, Redmi’s general director, Lu Weibing, shared a short and concise status update. He mentioned that Air4 from American Apple unexpectedly saw the light of day first as the first device with a 5 nm processor.

Redmi definitely won’t let itself be embarrassed, and Lu boldly announced that it’s also working on a device with a 5 nm chipset. Most likely, this refers to the yet-unannounced Snapdragon 875, which will be hidden inside the upcoming Redmi K40 Pro.

Besides that, it will surely have other—and very interesting—parameters. By the way, we should expect an extremely powerful Snapdragon 875 by the end of the year 2020, or rather at the beginning of the next one.

Great specs for maybe a reasonable price

More leaked data says that among the other manufacturers who will present something using Snapdragon 875 first will be Xiaomi, together with Vivo. We’ll note that the current flagships—like Xiaomi Mi 10 or the cheaper Redmi K30 Pro (for us known as POCO F2 Pro)—are already equipped with this year’s top chip, the Snapdragon 865.

However, when it comes to the Redmi K40 Pro, besides a great processor, you’ll also get a big display with truly minimal bezels, a high-capacity battery, fast charging, and a high-resolution camera. So we don’t leave it at that: you can also look forward to the Redmi K40 without the “Pro” add-on. It should also bring a powerful chipset, but it’s meant for the higher mid-range. More specifically, we’re talking about the Snapdragon 775 processor.

A display with minimal bezels is also guaranteed, along with support for fast charging and a main sensor with above-average resolution. The current models can also give us some idea of what the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 20 flagships could look like—possibly along with a lighter “Lite” version.

At the spring festival in their home China, their official unveiling will take place in February next year. The launch of the Redmi K40 lineup is currently planned for March 2021. However, we have no doubts it will be a truly punchy smartphone lineup that we can all look forward to.
