Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro Smartphone
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Redmi K40 Pro is part of Xiaomi's 2021 Redmi K40-series dual-SIM 5G smartphones. Compared to the base K40, it uses the same Snapdragon 888 chipset found in Xiaomi's flagship Mi 11 as well as numerous other flagship smartphones, including the Galaxy S21.
Sharing the same dimensions with the base K40, the K40 Pro also has the same 6.67-inch OLED display sourced from Samsung. As a result, it has the same 20MP front camera set in a small centered punch hole found in other recent Xiaomi smartphones.
Like the two other models in the K40 series, the K40 Pro also offers 120Hz refresh rate. However, the Pro models uniquely enjoy the latest WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, which are topped up by multi-functional NFC and IR blaster.
The Redmi K40 Pro's credentials also include up to 8GB of LPDDR5 memory and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, on part with the best from South Korea despite the market positioning of the Redmi sub-brand.
