We can speculate the K40 can have a centre-positioned punch-hole design. It comes seeing as the status bar icons are on the corners and the battery capacity will be more than 4,000mAh. On the other hand, a leaked poster image suggests the high-end variants in the Redmi K40 series will power on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. Moreover, it also mentions it comes with the “most expensive straight screen”. It can mean that it may have a 2K panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.
