Redmi K40: A 5G Phone

The vanilla Redmi K40 was rumored to use the Snapdragon 775, but Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 690 in the 600-series, the first 5G chipset which is the cheapest of the family. It is supporting global 5G bands of the sub-6 GHz variety. According to GSMA, “The Mi CC10 was tied to the Snapdragon 775G (SM7350), an upgraded mid-range chipset from Qualcomm that will allegedly be announced tomorrow. It’s supposed to offer a massive boost in terms of CPU (up 40% thanks to Cortex-A77 cores) and GPU (up 50%) compared to the S765G.” It seems that Xiaomi is going to ditch the 4G in its upcoming smartphones but still we can’t say anything confidently at this point. Moreover, we also come to know that Redmi K40 will come with the MDY-11-EX charger, the 33W power brick. Recommended for You: Xiaomi Redmi 9 Launch Date is Revealed
