This new ‘Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition’ will be the company’s first gaming smartphone and as per rumors, there will be two variants of this phone available at launch. So far we know that the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensoty 1200 5G SoC and will pack 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
The posters also gave out a glimpse of the phone, which slightly resembles the Redmi K40 smartphone with two physical gaming triggers present along the side side of the phone. These triggers can be remapped as per the in-game controls and can pop into the frame and out of it with the flick of a switch. There seems to be some RGB action going on as well along the rear camera module.
