A Redmi K40 Pro on Snapdragon 875 will appear only next year
Redmi is preparing to replenish the line of flagship smartphones Redmi K30 with a new model called Ultra. It will be built on the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ platform and will be released soon enough – the premiere is expected in the coming weeks. And then – a lull until the end of the year, when, according to an insider, the Redmi K40 will be released.
Redmi K40 on the Snapdragon 775 platform will be released by the end of the year
The data source is a well-known digital chat station informant in Weibo who is very knowledgeable in industry matters. Previously, he had repeatedly noted many truthful “plums”, in particular, he correctly predicted the presence of embedded single cameras in the models’ Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. So you can trust him.
So, according to the informant, Redmi K40 will be released in the fourth quarter of this year, that is, not earlier than October. This model will be built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 775 SoC (aka SM7350). And in the first quarter of next year, the top-end Redmi K40 Pro based on the Snapdragon 875 will be released. It will be more expensive, but it will turn out to be better in terms of features, although being the flagship budget, the Redmi K40 Pro is unlikely to receive 100 W charging and expensive eight-element optics.
