In February, Redmi announced the Redmi K40, Redmi K40 Pro, and Redmi K40 Pro+ smartphones in China. Today, the Chinese firm confirmed that its next K40 series phone will be called the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition and it will be holding a launch event for it on April 27 in China. It will be Xiaomi’s first Redmi branded gaming smartphone.
Redmi has released a GIF image to tease the key features of the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition. It reveals that the phone is fitted with mechanical shoulder buttons for an enhanced gaming experience. There is a vertical triple camera setup with some lighting available at the top-left corner of the phone.
It is speculated that the Xiaomi devices with model numbers M2102K10C and M2104K10C that were recently by the 3C authority of China could be the two variants of the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition. The 3C listings revealed that these devices carry support for 5G connectivity, and they come with a 67W fast charger.
The Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition may draw power from a 5,000mAh battery. The smartphone is expected to feature the same 6.67-inch S-AMOLED E4 screen, which can be found on the other K40 series smartphone. While the existing K40 series phones support a 120HZ refresh rate, the K40 Game Enhanced Edition is expected to offer a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. It will be driven by the Dimensity 1200 chipset.
The other specifications of the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition are under wraps. As far as pricing is concerned, it is likely to cost around 2,000 Yuan (~$308). The K40 Game Enhanced Edition is also expected to arrive in India. However, the Indian version is speculated to carry a POCO branding, and it may end up as an F-series phone.
