Xiaomi’s Redmi K40 series will be the successor to the Xiaomi sub-brand’s Redmi K30 series. Given that the Redmi K40 will be a flagship-level offering from Xiaomi, the interest in the Redmi K40 series is naturally high.

The latest reveal comes from Redmi Product Director Wang Teng Thomas who, in a reply to Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing’s post, said that there is more than one smartphone coming with Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 888. Weibing’s original post was also about the Redmi K40, that had nothing but a hashtag with ‘K40’ that suggested that he was talking about a Redmi K40 series. Neither of the posts say anything else about the Redmi K40 series. Last week, Weibing had confirmed that the Redmi K40 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and that it will release next month.
It was also revealed last month that the Redmi K40 will start at a price of CNY 2,999 (roughly Rs 33,800), which may make it one of the most affordable Snapdragon 888-powered smartphone.
