Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple rumors and leaks about the Redmi K40. A new leak about the phone has surfaced once more, further lending credence to previously revealed information on the upcoming Xiaomi mid-range phone.

Going by a post on Weibo by tipster Digital Chat Station, the Redmi K40 will feature a 4500 mAh battery. Even more interestingly, the phone is said to be completely notchless, opting for a pop-up selfie camera. The Redmi K30 sported a dual-selfie hole-punch, which didn't seem to go down well with fans of the series. The K30 Pro was a return to the pop-up selfie camera, and it appears the Redmi K40 will continue on that path. The display itself is touted to be a 120 Hz LCD panel.

Going by previous information, the Redmi K40 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+. That's a powerful chipset, on par with the Snapdragon 855 Plus, and will ensure the Redmi K40 is a huge performance upgrade on the Snapdragon 765G-powered Redmi K30 5G. The phone is expected to offer 33 W fast-charging, along with a 64 MP main camera—supposedly the same Sony IMX686 on the Redmi K30 phones.
