New Redmi K40 Gaming phone with Dimensity 1100 could be coming soon

A few weeks ago, Redmi announced its first gaming-oriented smartphone with a physical gaming trigger button. Before launch,  the rumor suggested, there were predictions that there would be another variant of the smartphone with an inferior chipset. Both models were expected to unveil together, but the company only announced the Redmi K40 Gaming. A tipper from China shared the key specifications for the other model. Most likely, Redmi aims to launch the phone in China later this month.

In February, the Digital Chat Station reported that the Redmi K40 includes two different chipsets, one of which is the MT6893 (Dimensity 1200) and one which is the MT6891 (Dimensity 1100). While Redmi has launched the former, it is still uncertain whether it will offer the latter. 

In addition, he mentioned the phone will have a Full HD+ display with a centrally aligned punch-hole. The phone will run on the Dimensity 1100 processor. It has a 64MP main camera, and it comes with support for 67W fast charging and a 5,000mAh battery.

Most likely, this phone will be released in China as a lite version of the Redmi K40 Gaming. Its starting price is 1,999 Yuan ($311). Hence, there is a possibility that its Dimensity 1100 SoC variant may start around 1,599 Yuan (~$249) or 1,699 Yuan (~$264).

Redmi K40 Gaming's model number is M2104K10C. It seems that the M2104K10AC, which was seen at places like 3C, TENAA, and Master Lu benchmarks, could be the Redmi K40 Gaming Lite. It is said to have an FHD+ display, Dimensity 1100 chipset, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage. It is expected to debut later this month.
