The new Redmi K40 devices come with a very modern design, which is far from a series Redmi K30 which was launched last year.
Instead of the rear camera unit that was located in the center of the back of the phone, the new phones feature a left-aligned rectangular camera unit similar to the one on the back. Xiaomi Mi 11.
The design breakthrough continues as the Redmi branding has been moved to a new position closer to the left edge. Things aren't much different up front, except for the new center hole that houses the front camera.
The real differences between all the series phones is the internal hardware, as the new devices come with new processors that were newly revealed, we start with the Redmi K40 which comes with the new Snapdragon 870 octa-core processor from Qualcomm
While both come from Redmi K40 Pro And the Redmi K40 Pro Plus with the most powerful Snapdragon 888 processor in the Android world currently.
These processors are coupled with a RAM capacity of up to 12 GB and 256 GB of internal storage for the higher version of the standard version.
While the Pro version comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage as well.
All three devices feature a large 4,520mAh battery. All three devices also feature a decent stereo speaker, with two tweeters also located on both the top and bottom edge. This is not to be confused with the pseudo-stereo speaker setup we've seen on some phones in the past, which uses the earpiece as a secondary speaker.
The Redmi K40 series has received some major improvements regarding the front camera. The Redmi K40 Pro comes with a triple rear camera consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP macro sensor.
The Standard Edition features the same rear camera setup but with a 48MP primary sensor. While the Redmi K40 Pro Plus has the most impressive rear camera setup, with a 108MP primary sensor while the rest of the sensors are the same.
In terms of software, all three phones run the MIUI 12 user interface based on Android 11.
