We know that Xiaomi is working on a bunch of devices for the second half of 2021. We have been learning about these products every now and then. The latest leak regarding one of these upcoming phones reveals information about the first-ever IP68-certified Redmi smartphone for China.
According to Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is working on a Redmi-branded smartphone with IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. As per the tipster, this handset will come with dual stereo speakers and will support 120W fast charging. Anyway, it will be not the first Redmi device with IP68 certification as that title belongs to the Japan-exclusive Redmi Note 10 JE.
Going by the features, this device could be a high-end smartphone. Perhaps, it will go official as Redmi K40 Ultra. Since the forthcoming Xiaomi 11T Pro is tipped to have a similar set of specs, it could be the international variant of this Redmi phone.
We also cannot rule out the possibility of this handset belonging to the Redmi K50 series. It may be also part of a new lineup. Either way, we expect to grasp more details about this upcoming phone in the coming days.
Xiaomi’s Redmi brand has not launched any entry-level or budget smartphone in China for a long time. The last most affordable handset to hit this market was Redmi Note 9 4G at the end of November 2020. On the other hand, the same brand is still focusing on its old segments in international markets.
