Redmi K40 revealed a terrible configuration: 144Hz screen, 1000+ Dimension chip, 5G support, 33W fast charging

After launching the K30 late last year, Xiaomi is said to be developing a successor to this phone, called the Redmi K40. Recently, leakster @techyvillage has just posted a new article on Twitter, thereby revealing the specifications of Redmi K40 just before the launch date.

According to the source, Redmi K40 will switch to using the high-end 5G processor Dimensity 1000+ of MediaTek. One of the chip’s strengths is its support for a 144Hz screen. Therefore, it is likely that the K40 will be equipped with a screen with a corresponding scanning frequency, although it is just an LCD screen like the previous generation.

The Redmi K40 is rumored to have a Sony IMX686 main camera with a resolution of 64MP on the back. In addition, it also supports 5G network connection and 33W wired fast charging. Previously, the phone was found on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China with model number M2006J10C.

Why 1000D Dimension?

Interestingly, in the past, there have been rumors that the Redmi K40 will use the Snapdragon 775 processor. , named Snapdragon 690.

This is the first 5G chipset in the Snapdragon 600 series that supports 5G network connectivity. But because the Redmi K series is in the high-end segment and the K40 is a 5G smartphone, using the processor of the Snapdragon 600 series will make it difficult for the Redmi K40 to compete with high-end smartphones from other manufacturers, not only affect sales but also brand equity.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Redmi K40 will use MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ chip and this is a quite reasonable assumption. If you do not know, Dimensity 1000+ is a new generation 5G chipset, supports dual mode 5G, promising to bring users a faster and more stable network access experience. Besides, it also has energy-saving technology, with the world’s lowest 5G battery consumption and longer battery life.
