Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi has unveiled three new flagship smartphones in its home country. The smartphones include Redmi K40, Redmi K40 Pro and Redmi K40 Pro+. All the three smartphones come with the same display and battery capacities, but with different processors.
The design of all three phones are similar to each other but also resemble Xiaomi Mi 11. The devices even measure identical to each other at 163.7 x 76.4 x 7.8mm while all of them weigh 196g.
All three have a rectangular camera array, side-mounted fingerprint sensor and there’s also the new centered hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera which the company claims to be the smallest ever in a smartphone, measuring at just 2.76mm. The smartphones also feature an IR Blaster that is near extinct in other smartphones now but a nice additional feature.
