Redmi will release its latest flagship, Redmi K40 series, in a few day’s time, specifically February 25th. Over the past few weeks, there have been many official teasers of this smartphone. However, none of these teasers show the design or appearance of this device. Now, we have the first official teaser that shows the rear (camera) design of this phone.
Redmi took to its official Weibo handle today to reveal the information. From the image, we can see that the Redmi K40 uses a round corner design. It uses a matrix design with a triple camera setup in the matrix. Two of the sensors are symmetrical and large while the third camera in between them is small. To the right of the small camera, there is a small circle. We do not know the use of this sensor for now. From previous reports, this device will come with a 108MP main sensor.
