Today Redmi officially unveiled the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition gaming smartphone. Surprisingly, rumors correctly predicted the cost of the model: 2,000 yuan, or roughly $ 310. That is how much the basic version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory costs. Thus, this model has become the most affordable gaming smartphone in its niche.
But not only affordable: Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition is also quite compact – the thickness of the case is 8.3 mm. At the same time, the device has a battery with a capacity of 5065 mAh – 12% more than in other models of the K40 series. The weight was 205 grams. For comparison, the thickness of other gaming flagships ranges from 9.7-10.32 mm, and the weight is 220-262 grams.
The smartphone is built on a 6-nanometer single-chip MediaTek Dimensity 1200 platform with Arm Cortex-A78 cores of 3.0 GHz and an Arm Mali-G77 GPU with updated drivers. In AnTuTu, the smartphone is gaining about 720,000 points. Of course, such a model is not able to compete with models on the Snapdragon 888, but in general, this performance will be sufficient for most games. And for the convenience of the game, pull-out keys with a magnetic drive are provided.
Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition received a 6.67-inch OLED screen with Full HD + resolution with 120 Hz frame rate, 480 Hz touch layer polling rate, 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage and HDR10 + support. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 tempered glass.

The second module has an 8-megapixel sensor and an ultra-wide-angle lens with a 120 ° viewing angle, the third one has a 2-megapixel sensor and a 40 mm focal length lens for macro shooting. An interesting feature of this model is the customizable RGB lighting located right in the camera block.
The sound subsystem of the model is with two JBL speakers, a dedicated amplifier, support for Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio (with wired and wireless connections), three microphones. The device also has a powerful vibration motor, Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 adapters.
