In another Redmi K40 series-related development, Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing has revealed via Weibo that the Redmi K40 series of smartphones will come with a hole-punch display, and the cutout will be situated in the top-centre of the screen. He goes on to say that Redmi’s goal is to maintain the maximum screen-to-body ratio, and that he wants its hole-punch cutout to be the smallest in the world. He also posted a poll asking his followers to pick a marketing name for the design of the hole-punch display.
Last month, Weibing shared a screenshot on Weibo that showed the battery of the Redmi K40 lasts for over a day on a single charge. The screenshot also indicated the presence of a full-HD+ display. Both the Redmi K40 and the Redmi K40 Pro are likely to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.
