Xiaomi will launch the much-awaited Redmi K40 series on February 25. Details of the devices have leaked rather comprehensively over the past week, which leaves pricing as the major bone of contention. Thankfully, though, information about that has also surfaced.

Going by new images seen online, the Redmi K40 series will start at CNY 2,199. That converts into US$340, for the base model with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The Redmi K40 Pro—the one most people would prefer to get—starts at CNY 2,999. Or US$465, also for the model with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.

The Redmi K40 Pro will be powered by a Snapdragon 888, with that US$465 starting price tag in China effectively making it the cheapest device with Qualcomm's flagship chipset when it launched. It's inconclusive what chipset will be in the Redmi K40. Both the regular Redmi K40 and the Redmi K40 Pro are expected to sport premium 120 Hz OLED panels.
