Xiaomi Group Vice President, President of China Region, and Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing has been a reliable source of information about the upcoming Redmi K40 smartphone. The Redmi flagship is expected to debut later this month and ahead of the launch, Lu Weibing has again come out with a new detail about the Redmi K40 series. 
The Redmi K40 series is expected to pack a flagship Snapdragon 888 series processor and according to the screenshot shared by Weibing, the device will come with durable battery life. Battery durability is a relative term but in this case, the device is shown to still have 64% of the power after 10.5 hours of continuous use. The MIUI system forecasts the remaining 64% can still be used for 25 hours and four minutes.
However, we can’t judge definitively if the battery will have such extended usage outside light usage or standby mode. The post didn’t indicate if the battery usage was recorded during heavy usage.
Further, the screenshot also shows that the Redmi K40 will come with a screen resolution of 2400×1080 pixels. Although the battery capacity is unknown at this time, we expect it to be more than 4000mAh.
For reference, Redmi K30 4G and 5G were released in December 2019 while the Redmi K30 Pro/Zoom version was released in March last year, priced from 2999 yuan (~$462) to 3999 yuan (~$616). The brand later added the Redmi K30 Speed Edition, Redmi K30i, Redmi K30 Extreme Commemorative Edition, and Redmi K30S Extreme Commemorative Edition.
Lu Weibing had earlier hinted that the device will be launched next month and will be priced from 2999 yuan(~$462).
