Redmi is expected to take off covers from the Redmi K40 series in the coming month. Today, a tipster from China revealed that the lineup will include two models such as Redmi K40 and Redmi K40 Pro.
Last week, Redmi revealed that its forthcoming Snapdragon 888 SoC powered smartphone will be priced at 2,999 Yuan (~$463). The new leak claims that this device will be debuting as the Redmi K40 Pro.
The tipster further claimed that the other handset will be called the Redmi K40 and it will be featuring an unreleased sub-flagship chipset. The pricing of this model is under wraps.
The predecessor RedmI K30 5G and Redmi K30 Pro 5G phones were powered by Snapdragon 765G and Snapdragon 865 chipsets, respectively. It is unclear whether the Redmi K40 will be equipped with the upcoming Snapdragon 7-series or the new Dimensity chipset that is scheduled to go official tomorrow.
The unannounced Snapdragon chipset with part number SM7350 was recently found mentioned in the kernel source code of Xiaomi Mi 11. It is speculated this part number may belong to the upcoming Snapdragon 7-series chip. Probably, this chip will break cover as the Snapdragon 775G.
As far as the new MediaTek chips are concerned, it is speculated that the rumored MT6893 SoC will launch as the Dimensity 1200 chip tomorrow. It is also speculated that a lower variant of the chip will be also announced tomorrow with Dimensity 1100 moniker.
