Hey what’s up?
Sami here.
Today we are going to hands-on the Redmi K40 and K40 Pro.
Just for the record, I don’t own those phones yet but luckily my Chinese content partners
they are happy to share the footage and testing results with me, huge thanks to them.
Please make sure to subscribe to our channels, all links are down below.
Now let’s get started.
Out of the box, without surprise, the first layer includes some paper work and a soft phone case.
Then is the phone.
Under that is the type-c cable and a 33w charger.
Please note that for all K40 series the charger is included. It’s not like the leaked information
before there might be an environmental-friendly edition without the charger or something.
While for the K40 Pro, the contents are basically the same.
Now move to the phone.
For the Redmi K40, K40 Pro, and K40 Pro Plus, all three phones share a few features in common.
For one, all three devices are equipped with a 6.67-inch 120Hz FHD+ OLED hole-punch design screen,
the cutout- if not the smallest, at least one of the smallest I’ve seen on the market.
While for this display, Redmi said the K40 series screen received an A+ rating from testing firm DisplayMate.
Here is a comparison with the Mi 11.
From our point of view, the Mi11 has a better saturation and contrast for its higher brightness
and resolution, while for the K40 it has a less sharp viewing experience.
What do you think?
After all, the Mi 11 is a real more expensive flagship phone!
Also, all K40 series phone screen comes with 360Hz touch sampling rate.
Speaking of that, it must have a better performance than even most gaming phones?!
We do feel that during our gaming test, it’s smooth and fast.
But erhh, we wouldn’t call a huge difference compared to other gaming phones on the market!
During our test, we also found that the K40 has a slight better heat control than the
K40 Pro, it’s about 2 degrees Celsius temperature lower.
All thanks to the Snapdragon 870 on the K40.
For camera, the K40 and K40 Pro both feature an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 5MP macro lens
but for the former it sports a 48MP main camera while for the latter it houses a 64MP primary snapper.
Our conclusion for their performance is yeah, more than enough to handle daily photos.
You can check out all the sample photos and footage here, let me know what you think.
For others, the Redmi K40 and Pro feature a side fingerprint recognition,
it’s fast and has multiple functions.
They also come with a 4,520mAh battery and support 33W fast-charging, you can top up
fully in around 50 minutes.
As for the X-axis linear motor, amplified Wi-Fi6, dual stereo speaker, all function NFC
and infrared sensor, they all have.
Now about my conclusion.
What I really like about the K40 series phones is that they all sport a same high-performance
display, whether for the K40 or the K40 Pro plus, isn’t that awesome?
And from our test, they all have really great performance.
If you have limited budget, go for the K40, you can’t get it wrong, it’s the best
budget phone we’ve seen in this year so far; if you have a higher demand for the camera
performance then the K40 Pro or Pro Plus is a good option for you.
What do you think?
Alright, that’s the video, I hope it has helped you in some way, let me know in the
comment section if you have any questions.
Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next time.
