News & Reviews:   Redmi K40 Gaming Edition review

The Redmi K40 Gaming Edition has proven to be a successful gaming device by selling 100,000 units in just a minute. To keep things going, Redmi has released a teaser poster today hinting at another version of the device that will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

Redmi has just launched its first gaming smartphone today. Not only the K40 Gaming Edition is packed with gaming-centric features, but it's also an alternative for those who don't want to spend a lot on a more high-end gaming phone. As the newly launched device is currently exclusive to the Chinese market, it makes us wonder if it will make a global debut in the near future. We might have gotten the answer as the device is said to be rebranded as POCO F3 GT for India.

Many would have been interested in the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition since it was officially teased, as it seemed like it would be a very affordable gaming phone. Now, Redmi has finally launched the device and it is available starting 30 April 2021.

RGB backlighting has become common with gaming peripherals, but gaming phones are also starting to get it. In fact, Redmi is the next to have a gaming phone with RGB lights. Specifically, the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition is expected to have coloured backlighting and a unique LED flash.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the Redmi gaming phone would be the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. It's expected to launch on 27 April 2021, and some details are already known. But if you ask me, the latest teaser for the phone mentions the most interesting feature.
